I looked on the web and didn't find anything yet.... I will post info when I find it. Most dealerships sell the stuff. Honda uses the gas treatment at your 30K check-up.

 

BG stuff: .. I don't buy the stuff... Have been getting it free from a buddy of mine who is a mechanic at a dealership Sorry, couldn't resist...
Had my injectors cleaned by the BG direct hookup on the rails too. Seemed to help !

Before I came across this nice deal, I did however call my Ford Dealer & they sell the BG T.B. spray for about $15 per aerosol can. IT is the best, but at that price, just go buy some "Berrymans Air Intake cleaner" for just over $3 per can. Make sure you get the short stubby can that says it is safe for O.E.M. coatings though. Or another brand that states this. I like/trust Berrymans though.

Also, be cautious of "Dealers" when taking your vehicle in. The dealer my buddy works at is the most crooked dealer I have ever heard of. He can't stand it & is getting ready to quit. People take their vehicles in for work/maintenance & if the mileage is on the lower end, for example getting the fuel inj. cleaned. They don't do it & say they did. That is how the mechanics end up w/all this overflow of goodies that come into my hands for "FREE".... This is a whole nuther' story, but if you can do something yourself, or have a friend/mechanic you can trust, do it that way.... Just like the "X Files",.."Trust No-One" !

I recently attended an oil seminar aimed primarily at hydraulic oils but we did get into some discussion of motor oils and the "snake oil" additives that are available to ruin your engine. Unfortunately, the instuctor couldn't spend time after the seminar to talk with us, but he did share this little tidbit. There is an ISO 9000 test that can be done to test motor oils. What is done is the oil is placed in a single cylinder gas engine and run at 3000 RPM for a given time. At the end of this run, the crank bearings are removed and weighed. If the loose more than 20 Milligrams of weight the oil is failed. Get this...Slick 50 supposedly lost nearly 200 milligrams and Motor Up lost over 400 milligrams. I guess that explains why your engine runs smoother... there is no friction because there are Grand Canyon clearances! So that nobody attacks me I just want to say that this info came from an instructor who does not have any loyalties to any oil company. He typically testifies as an expert witness for and against oil companies for liability claims. Sorry for the length of the post, but it is something to think about.

Thats pretty interesting! I am fairly convinced not to use any additives anymore! And I appreciate the new info!

Found some info on BG additive today.

Please stay away from any product that contains chlorine as a High pressure additive. This stuff will eat the inside of your engine. Hydrocloric acic.

There is no ISO-9000 specification for Oil.

I have seen legal prostitutes go un-challenged by their opponents -- even when wrong -- because the challenge would/could be interpreted by the jury as the 'big bad corporation' picking on 'that nice man'.

After several of those 'pass Go and collect $200' freebies -- the 'expert' becomes not only a legend in his own mind (go ahead, make my day) -- but the sheer number of presentations as an 'expert witness' is inferred as proof of credibility.

You just gotta love this country. Say it long enough and someone will believe it to be true.

While some jurists unfortunately conclude that a person that testifies both for and against something/someone/industry must be truthful -- more enlightened jurists see it as following the wind (er money).

While not being there to witness more tests of his credibility as you were -- if his reference to ISO-9000 is any indication of his accuracy, I'm not impressed.

 

I'll second Y2K on the ISO 9000 stuff, ISO 9000, 9001, and 9002 is merely a "status symbol" rating given to companies that meet certain criteria. Best explained by who has the neatest paper trail. Those of you here that work for ISO rated companies know what I mean. They do not set guidelines for testing, perhaps BH was referring to ASTM or some other standards.

I'll also, as I have in other posts, go along with MSparks in that Chlorine will hydrolyze to form hydrochloric acid easily. Cl-Cl is very reactive and forms HCl quickly in the presence of hydrogen, and I'm sure it wouldn't have any trouble finding a hydrogen or two swimming in the HYDROcarbons in your oil.

I've used Slick 50 with no ill effects in the past and I'm not sure what it's claim to fame is.(Teflon?) (I won't be using it in the new truck)

Don't you just gotta wonder about all of the "Additives" and "Detergents" that presumably go into (fill-in-your-favorite-brand-here) engine oils?

For example -- how much in the way of additives or detergents or VI's can be in an engine oil that, according to it's Material Safety Data Sheet, human ingestion of it is "...Not expected to be a problem. However, if greater than 1/2
liter (pint) ingested, seek medical attention..."?

What kind of medical attention?

Depends!
