    mga bossing,

    meron na bang gumamit sa inyo ng mga oil additives, yung mga hinahalo sa engine oil, that claims to stop tailpipe smoke emission?

    effective ba itong mga ganito o masama ang magiging effect sa engine in the long run?

    if you are adding something in your engine oil to prevent tailpipe emissions, then it might be your engine is leaking motor oil into your cylinders.

    It might be better to give us a summary of what car your drive and what problems you have been having with it.

    Anyway, it is better to cure the cause of the problem than just covering it up with some "miracle-cure" which may only work for a short time and do more damage in the long run.

    The best cure for bad oil is to buy new oil.

    Bad oil + Additive is nowhere near as good as Good Oil.

    a friend of mine uses these additives that "gives additional power, promotes cleaner burn and minimizes emmissions".

    after a few months, we opened up his 4g63 for mods. the result: chunks of oil,grime and varnish literally stuck in his engine. we had to use screwdrivers to scrape the stuff out.

    Maybe it could help a little bit lesser smoke but wont cure the cause of it. IMO waste of money.

    That's because the additive, while super-slick at desktop temps (where they do their presentations), breaks down under running temperatures.

    Of course it's going to flow well on test-bench displays... those things aren't even close to cold engine temps!
