What i've read Highlander and it was 64 pages long lol, all diesels would benefit from the extra lubrication due to our poor quality diesel but i'm a little concerned about using it common rail diesels as they're apparently designed to withstand our diesel.
If you have a spare few days give this article a read it's quite interesting.
Three dogs... Where have you been on this one.... I started using this about 6 months ago.... Fuel usuage is the same... but engine much quieter... Loving it.... I do 200mls to 35 litres.... (Second tank)

I read it but not keen on additives in in engines then realised it it was a fuel additive, I use Wynnes injector cleaner and happy with that.
cant see how it would improve my fuel figures, but any extra lubrication must be a good thing
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

Cheers Dave, The impression I was getting from the thread was that the CRD's were geared up for the diesel but that the older engines weren't, which is why i thought that my Chev might benefit from it.... Spoke to our site mechanic and he said that it would improve the noises but couldn't see how it would improve performance. I will do it purely out of interest me thinks.

I'm no mechanic but wouldn't it increase your performance a little if your engine parts are lubricated better and the internals were not needing to be pushed as hard which inturn the accelerator is not being pushed down as hard(friction) ???

Well I have trialled this at a mixture of 200 to 1 ratio with shell advance 2T probably over the last 18 months . Next to no difference in fuel economy but it starts easier in the colder winter months and idle rattle is reduced noticeably .One drawback for me is the exhaust odour is far stronger than without it , stopped using it in November for this reason but come winter I will be back on it for sure . Its a good thing me thinks .
The price of excellence is dicipline , the cost of mediocrity is dissapointment .

According to him, it will quieten noisy rattles, having supplied more lubrication to worn parts, hence no real performance improvement... Having said that, it should follow that it should also extend the life of, however slightly, the affected parts.
