I bought some STP oil additive to reduce the smoke coming from one of my exhausts, seems to of done the trick very little smoke now & only every now & then, just got to get the re-con tubs when i have the £££. & she'll be on form.

All the oil additive will have done is thicken the oil which might not be good for you engine and turbos at all. Do a search on the forum, I'm sure someone used this stuff with catastophic results within weeks of adding it.

found it, here it is

Well that just pissed all over my cozy little bon fire. gonna drop oil now, and let it burn some clean stuff, hopefully with a simalar affect. Thanks for letting me know. must say my engine sounds sweet as a nut and is very smooth with no noises rattles or bangs, just the smoke lets the car down, thanks again.

well it said ok for turbo petrol cars & as my engine runs spot on if something goes wrong i'll rip their jaws off. I'll drop the oil asap thanks again.

I put some of that in my vectra gsi about 2 months ago. 2 days later the oil pump went. so by by vectra.

 

Bought another one now :rolleyes:

I think the problem with additives like these is you're always putting them in an engine that's on it's last legs.

If it goes bang shortly after do you blame the additive or was it going to fail anyway?

I'am sure my block is not on its last legs, well i hope not. I'll drop it anyway to make sure though.
