Hi, Nuclear.
I don't think you have fully understood what I have said.
I have used a product called Cermax, a couple of years ago.
I know a person here that use Cermet, and it is close to what I used.
I used a product called RVS, and it is very similar to the Cermet.
I also used it to fix a diesel pump.
It is not a permanent fix, but it will last more than 100000 kilometers.
I used Synlube in this car, but I drained it after 73000 kilometers, just to to try this RVS stuff, and after that, the Nanovit.
I will use this RVS stuff, in the diesel pump in the other used Nissan we bought in January, since I know it is working.
There are several studies on this stuff. That and personal users in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, which I contacted, made me want to try it.
I saved some 3000-3200 USD on not having to buy a new diesel pump. I think it was worth it, but I guess you don't.
Besides these products, I am also using two other products for smaller things, and they are working, too.
Why shouldn't I continue to use what is working?
You are free to form your own opinion about me, the same way that I am about you.
I just don't have so much to say about your ability to understand about these products that I have tried(and still am trying).
By the way, I am also using this Rev-X (to clean up an engine, since I found it to work very well in a manual transmission) in the additive section.
No scientific things about it, but with comments about MPG and how it makes this underpowered car to accelerate, in 5th gear.
Since it is not done in a controlled environment, I just comment about what is happening/not happening.
It's not meant to be a dead serious test.
It's just personal observations about what changes it makes.
So far, it has done something, in a car where additives haven't been used. Just group 4 and 5 oils during its first 321000 kilometers of its life.
Just wanted to see if these additives would do some difference.
So far, the answer is "yes".
I have tried a lot of additives that doesn't do much, but some of them are very good.
