miscible ester, using is as oil additive ?

[pep808]

https://www.motul.com/sk/en/products/sport-5w50

got a idea how to use this as oil additive, this one is miscible. 300v is not.

aiming for improving a normal 5w40 synthetic oil.
sump is 3,5L ; idea is to use this maybe ~0,1-0,2L, rest amount use synthetic oil.


is this ok, or safe ? even for wet style timing belt ???
any opinions? thx !

It's not API SM licensed, so you are on your own in terms of compatibility depending on how much you trust Motul.

And now that you are the blender instead of Motul you're on your own in terms of whether it improves anything

Improving it?!?!?!

You are "gambling" - it might help, it might hurt.

It will probably make no difference at all , though

I'm of the mindset that if it was beneficial, the oil engineers would add it in.

At least the blender knows if there is improvement by adding another variable.

How does he know how much to add that will make a difference among the 10's of other variables?
