Oil Additives
« on: September 06, 2009, 09:47:24 pm »
Done a quick search on the forum.

Anyone got any advice on oil additives aka Slick50 etc?

I did used to use ZX1 and was going to put some in the golf.  No manufacturers warranty to worry about.

Any thoughts pls?

Cheers

Use the correct spec long life oil and you won't need any additives.   :smiley:
