Hado, LIQUI MOLY, etc.

Additives for oils allow you to increase the resource of an old engine, improve driving performance, reduce oil and fuel consumption. We will figure out which additives should be used in which cases.

Additive types

In older engines, you can add universal additives and special additives for engines with high mileage.

The most common types of additives:

• antiwear;
• restoring;
• washing;
• eliminating leaks.

LIQUI MOLY Oil Loss Stop

The additive is of the type that eliminates leaks. Can be used in petrol and diesel engines. Leakage of rubber elements is eliminated by restoring their elasticity. As a result, the noise from the running motor is reduced. The additive reduces oil consumption. According to the manufacturer, the additive restores compression. In addition, exhaust toxicity is reduced.

Available in packs of 300 ml and 1 liter. A package containing 300 ml is enough for four liters of oil. The additive can be added at any time if necessary. The additive begins to act after about 800 kilometers.

Cost:

• Packing with a capacity of 1 liter - 1550-1755 rubles;
• Packing with a capacity of 300 ml - 608-700 rubles.

Bardahl Full Metal

The additive can be used as a restorative. Reduces oil consumption by restoring clearances between moving parts. The manufacturer claims that the substances in the additive increase the adhesion of the oil film to the metal parts of the engine: this property is valuable when starting the engine after a long period of inactivity or when starting in frosty weather. In addition, the additive can be used as a prophylactic: to reduce the wear of cylinders and other elements.

Available in 400 ml packs. The package is enough for about 6 liters of oil. The additive can be added during an oil change and added to the used oil.

Cost:

• Regular packaging, 400 ml - 1690-1755 rubles;
• Gift box, 400 ml - 2000-2170 rubles.

LIQUI MOLY Oil Additive

The additive is recommended by the manufacturer for engines with high mileage. Contains dissolved molybdenum disulfide. The substance changes properties under the influence of temperatures and under pressure, reduces the degree of friction of parts. The substances contained in the additive do not contaminate the filter. The tool can be recommended to those who actively operate cars with high mileage. In general, the additive is able to reduce fuel consumption, reduce oil consumption, and reduce exhaust emissions.

Available in containers of 0,12 l, 0,3 l. It is added to engine oil in a proportion of 50 ml per liter of oil.

Cost:

• Packing of 0,12 l - 441-470 rubles;
• Packing of 0,3 l - 598-640 rub.

Hi-Gear Oil Treatment “Old Cars, Taxi”

The additive is recommended by the manufacturer for cars with gasoline and diesel engines with a mileage of 100 thousand kilometers. Contains the so-called. metal conditioner - a set of substances that fill microscopic damage on the surface of engine parts. By minimizing the effects of wear on parts, compression increases and noise decreases during engine operation.

Motorists speak ambiguously about the properties of the additive. Many believe that the additive changed the operation of the engine for the better: throttle response increased, fuel and oil consumption decreased. At the same time, the editorial staff of the Vodi.su portal draws your attention to the fact that the brand is sold only on the territory of the CIS countries, nothing is known about the brand abroad. There may be fakes on the market.

Available in 444 ml containers. Cost - 570-610 rubles.

Xado revitalizing

Additive in the form of a gel. The gel contains substances that form a ceramic-metal layer on the surface of worn parts. As a result, the geometry of the parts is significantly aligned. Used in gasoline engines. The manufacturer claims that the additive increases compression in general, evens out the compression level in different cylinders. Reduces exhaust emissions by up to 8%.

According to the manufacturer's recommendations, a reducing additive should be used by adding detergent components to the oil. Engine parts restore geometry after about 1,6 thousand kilometers.

Motorists who used the additive note that compression can indeed increase. Although the additive, as follows from the reviews, does not negate the need for repairs in the future.

The additive is available in tubes with a capacity of 9 ml. Filling in the engine takes place in three stages. After the first filling, a run of 100-250 kilometers is required, after the second filling, a similar run is needed. One package is required per filling. The cost of packaging is 760-790 rubles.
