I've tried a bunch of products since coming here and now I want to try Neutra in the gas and in the oil. I'd like to try Schaeffer oil too eventually.
Anyone have a large stash that they would be willing to sell me a few bottles? I've been meaning to order some but I never seem to get around to it. I can Paypal you or send you a money order.
I've tried seafoam in the gas tank and in the crankcase, decent results, but too expensive IMO. Not something I would put into a transmission.
I've tried Marvel Mystery oil in the gas and in the crankcase. Not sure of any benefits using it in the oil, I believe I've seen some improvements in engine smoothness when used in the gas, but this is butt dyno, not anything measured or clearly quantifyable.
Chemtool, Gumout Regane, Fuel Power, Techron, Lucas UCL and other fuel injector/fuel system cleaners. All good results IMO. I will continue using all/any of them.
Lube control, can't say for sure, but I would continue using it based on recommendations and experiences of the people at BITOG.
Tried synthetic oils and came to the conclusion that synthetic is just too expensive to be worth it to me. If I drove expensive, newer vehicles then I wouldn't quibble about the cost and would use synthetics, but all of the cars that my family and I drive cost around $4,000 and IMO don't warrant using synthetic. I don't see spending 3 times as much for synthetic oil, I'd rather just change dino every 4 or 5 thousand miles and have clean oil in the engine more often.
My new philosophy is to buy low mileage, previously owned vehicles in tip top condition, drive them for 1-3 years max and then sell them for whatever I can get. My cost of ownership per year should run less than $1,200/year excluding gas and oil. Not too many car payments for $100/month that I know of.
Finally, ARX. I was hesitant, mostly because of the price, I didn't want to pay that much for an "additive". Ive had very good results. Tried it on several vehicles with the same results each time, smoother, quieter running engines with more pep and better acceleration. Also put ARX in the trans of my '96 Olds minivan. Trans shifts smooth, wouldn't hesitate to use it again in a trans.
