    Smile JK Oil Additives, Snake Oil & Old Wives Tales!

    At the recent SJC meeting at ARB I got a chance to drive the Bears Rig, given that his JK and mine have the same engine I fully expected his to start and run like mine! - fair enough right!

    Well it didn't........ it was noticeably smoother and quieter!......

    I had to ask the Bear the famous question "Why is it so?"

    His answers enthralled and excited me, he told me about Japanese airplanes in ww2 that had their sumps and radiators shot to bits yet they kept flying, he also told me about a trial in OZ where somebody emptied out all their oil and drove to Melbourne and back without blowing up their engine or spinning a bearing.

    He then told me all about an engine oil additive that decreased friction and increased smoothness, power & fuel economy, I wanted to try it immediately! and The Bear was kind enough to get me some "LiquiMoly" MOS2 Anti-Friction Engine treatment, which I then proceeded to empty into my Heap!

    Day 1 - nothing
    Day 2 - nothing, nada
    Day 3 - nothing, nada, zip
    Day 4 - nothing, nada, zip, Zero
    Day 5 - went to Morrisett to pick up Hunno's ZJ 1.3Tcar trailer and 2.5T Jeep on the back - Less than nothing!
    Day 6 - gave it some loud pedal whilst changing into 2nd and got a chirp!!! - Halelujah! finally I noticed something
    Day 7 - changed down to 3rd going up a steep hill near "Wooders" and really noticed it had extra pull.

    Sweeeeeet - finally the MOS2 did something and WoW what a difference a can of the stuff makes,
    Heres the best way I can describe the difference - its way more noticeable than going from 91octane unleaded to 98! - it actually put a smile on my dial and has done so since,

    If you do a bit of research on the net you will find many people using it claiming that their engines have hundreds of thousands of kilometres on them and when stripped down reveal little of no wear - apparently it coats the surfaces of the cylinders and bearings etc and gaurds them against wear!

    This people is a very inexpensive way to get a little more out of your petrol JK for very little expense $10 - $15 a treatment / can depending on where you buy it from - it lasts to the next oil change - many claim it will go 20,000km +

    I have searched the net to look for any adverse contraindications and have specifically searched to see if it will mess up the extra protection 5w30 oil provides to my Jeep - My heap is out of warranty so I can do as I please with it now.

    Thanx Heaps Bear (Sydney Jeep Club el president) for putting me on to this amazing stuff! You are one extremely prodigious Jeeper!
    Cheers Hunty

    Yup, I agree Hunty and I am another convert to MOS2...... Bear told me about it about a year back or so. I took the Jeep in for servicing and drove about 200 Ks on fresh oil without adding the LiquiMoly. Then added the bottle of LiquiMoly..... The difference was really noticeable. I love it and would recommend it to anybody......

    Also I rang up Jeep Camellia for some SAE 75-90 Synthetic gear oil for my rear diff which has a little drip from the diff hat. Jeep quoted me $107/Ltr ...... I ended up with Castrol SAE 75-90 fully synthetic gear oil from Repco for $30.50/Ltr after my NRMA discount. I topped up my diff with about 100 ml and have another 900ml sitting in reserve.

    My brother in Canada bought fully synthetic engine oil for his BMW from a BMW dealership for $8/Ltr (yes thats Eight Dollars). Also a brand new BMW 325i costs only $37000 in Canada but costs about $75000 here in Australia....... Still cant understand how they can sell the oil at such a difference.........

    Some body is making millions here at our expense......

    Any way enough of my whinging and ranting.........

    As an addendum to Hunty's post, you never put this stuff in a brand new motor you run it for at least 1500Km. The motor must be run in, if you use this stuff too soon you will never run the motor in.

    Hey Big Bear, El President'e, can this you-b-ute stuff go in a Diesel? Is it similar to 'Slick 50'
