vlad264 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I yesterday went to London motorcycle show and got hooked up by guys selling stuff called "ACTIV8" friction reducer.Guy there said that this stuff if poured in engine and gearbox would save 5 pence per liter of every liter spent petrol due to less friction.I assume that stuff must be really slippery .Anyway i bought one pack of stuff and planning to pour it in my next oil change.Does anyone have any experience with oil additives at all.Buy the way years ago i used to have Audi 80 1.8 (150000miles on clock) and i did put some similar stuff in my oil and poor thing started doing wheelies when you change from first to second gear!!!Sadly heater matrix leaked and it was too much money to replace so i sold it.

Dave Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 lol, I'll say a prayer for ya mate! just kidding, i dont think itll do any harm, but as Adam says, seems a bit of an exagirated claim on the saving 5p per litre of fuel. Be interesting to see what your results are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
