Default please turn off caps lock . . . using AutoCAD is not an excuse . . .

you don't need additives, most don't do a thing except clog the oil passages, oil filter and who knows what else.

What is the "ingrediant" in B-G Moa? Never heard of this one.

But all we have is their tests, with expected results. Any independent reviews?

Default I'm not on here anywhere near as much as I used to be.

Yes, I began a new job. Some days I have very little to do, such as yesterday and others where I am swamped with things such as today.

Default The Redline SI-1 is probably the best fuel system cleaner on the market..

and believe you me i've tried a lot of them...we have a big problem with dirty fuel in Oz. Make sure you change the oil after you put the first bottle in. You'll be amazed how much gunk this thing pulls out of your engine.
Don't believe in oil additives (any more)
My opinion only of course...
