I am told it is awful idea. Yet the base for all additives is kerosene. 4 qt of 5w20 with it.. I want to change it when I get some change. I have been watching oil cold pours and fine mobile 1 is good and some who claim to slice bread dont pass the cold or hot tests. I had put a week ago some high mileage oil. So I drained it and found clumps. The focus only has 48,000 miles so i put in some kerosene with the oil. I expect a clean engine maybe tommorrow when I get a 5 qt can on synthetic oil. Some scream you are ruining that focus. I think the high mileage was more harmful. |
