Why add an oil additive? My doubt is following: Now take an oil at random, for example, Mobil 1 0w40. I expect that this oil is carefully formulated an balanced to run into ours engine. Ok... Now, adding an oil additive like Ceratec, Zddp, etc... could it change the chemistry of the oil ?! If...

I read this article: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=729116#Post729116 So, incredibly, i can get even an increase of wear?!?

An info boys: 1) GC Castrol 0w30 is the same Castrol Edge 0w30 sold in Europe? I just have found on Ebay on a German vendor this Castrol, but it is named Castrol Edge 0w30, i think that is the same oil discussed here, it's right? 2) In Europe there are 2 version of this oil that i have found...

Excuse my GREAT ignorance boys, but i'm a neophyte. Summarizing what are meaning the bwilson's study? That boron nitride is no good for ours engines? And whta's do you meaning here: "The literaturre says it forms a chemically bonded, solid lubricant on the friction surfaces. But I have no...

thanks for the infos boys

Hello boys. I'm owner of a I have a new Alfa Romeo Giulietta with 2.0 JTDm without DPF/FAP. Obviously my car do not requires ACEA C3 but requires ACEA B3. There any benefits using a LOW SAPS oil (B3/C3) in a diesel car that is lacking of FAP/DPF? Or using it is worse?

Thanks for the infos. Products based on boron and mos2, from what I understand, should be also more effective and safer than products based on PTFE/Teflon, is it right?

Someone had experience in problem like this?...it's sounds strange to me. Ceratec should be a safe product.

Hello boys, first of all comngratulation for the splendid forum. I'm Massimo and write from Italy. I have a new Alfa Romeo Giulietta with 2.0 JTDm diesel engine. Now, i would use Ceratec. I know that Ceratec is based on Boron Nitride, in fact it is written in the technical sheet here. But in...
