That's great, I haven't noticed any change in performance or economy, just smoother and quieter running. I think it's worth the outlay compared to other additives. I occasionally add a bit of FTC Decarboniser also.

Whats that? also have you used any of the tank cleaners

Heard a story last year from an "Old Timer" who used Valvoline in his Cruiser, much to his disgust. Unfortunately that was all he could get on the road, I cant remember the whole story, but I do remember not to use Valvoline Diesel oil.

I haven’t needed to use any tank cleaners yet. I do run a sedimenter before the factory filter though.

FTC Decarboniser is good to use if you do a lot of idling. It helps to deglaze the cylinders and reduce carbon build up on the ring lands.

Just started using Bimrose oils. A good QLD company based in Rockhampton. Engine oil is 15W40 (I think - would have to look it up). 10L = $80 odd. Very well recommended. Also using Decorbonizer, Cleanfuel (?) and Oil Flush from CEM. Very impressed so far. Got about 11 1/2 L out of the sump when I used the engine flush. Engine is much more responsive and feels like it wants to pull from lower revs. Much quiter too.

I've been using durablend for 3 years and have found that it removes most of the engine noise at start up and it is easy to get mostly any where so you can keep to the one type of oil...
