Mine is gonna get an oil change soon anyway

Hopefully the can I've ordered will arrive today. I've only did an oil change will millers nanodrive last week so all should be good.

You should probably hold off a while then....  From what i can gather you should change the oil shortly after use

Seems a waste of good oil if you've only just changed?

Its not an oil additive, its a fuel additive

From BG Products on Facebook when asked if the oil needs dropping.


BG Products, Inc.

No sir. No need as BG 44K goes through the gas tank. Just enjoy miles of fuel system cleaning!

[fab5freddy]

Thanks for clearing that up Rich 

Thought it a bit strange, hench the question

[GrayMK5GTI]

Oil changes are suggested as fuel (and additive) can wash down the bores and into the sump - mixing with the oil

Only a real problem if you stick additives in regularly. . . .

Will be watching this thread regularly as I might be interested to give a try..

Popped mine in today and then brimmed the tank.. will report back also!

[rich83]

Hmmm. Possibly a waste of 13 quid. 

[omeydz]

Meant to treat 75L and mk6 has a 55l tank + filler neck capacity.

So its already a bit more concentrated than the instructions.. Should be fine I hope Rich fingers x'd!

Any opinions on this?

I used it and didn't notice any difference

[z00bz]

Put some BG44K in mine a few days ago and so far...it has made a noticeable amount of difference. Much smoother and more responsive.

Plan to put a bottle in every year or so depending on mileage.

Mine has just hit 99k :-)

Also put mine in yesterday and have burnt all that off now, can't really feel a different I don't think but end of the day just because you can't feel a differents doesn't mean it hasn't done any good to your engine. I will be buying this maybes once a year to use on all my cars now.
