i was watching horsepower tv over the weekend and the promoted a product that they called an oil booster. anybody ever hear of it and know of any brand names and where to get it?

 

You mean something they poured in the oil, or a mechanical device, like an accumulator?

 

it was something they poured in

 

I just bought some Polydyn TX7 to add to my oil. It gave my Celica GT-S 3-4hp and helped my mpg to 35-40mpg. Should be in any day now for the Z. For $35 shipped its worth it. Here is were I got it at.

how do you go about adding it? how much etc.?

 

When I do my oil change with synthetic, just minus 1/2qt of that and add 1/2qt of TX7. 3000 miles later I'll do the same thing. After the first 2 oil changes the TX7 should be in full effect. Now I'll start adding 1/4qt with every change following or I'll skip every other change and not use TX7 but when I do I'll add 1/2qt every other time. Depends on the best results of the product. I have never put any into the Z just used in the Celica. It's good results for me with a cheap price so its worth a try to me. If you need more infor just read up on that thread. They can prob answer more questions then I can.

 

Snake oil.

 

I had a guy come in pedaling this stuff in my shop a year o so ago...never tried it because I thought it was the same thing or a modified version of MacDuffy's Cure-all Elixer (moonshine in a bottle to those not hip to the 1800's lingo). He had some graphs that showed it's effectiveness, but I never saw any credable 3rd parties try it out. I'm not trying it in my turbo car...

 

Jiffy lube supposely sell this oil ??

None of them places are around here so I have to order it online. I trust this stuff tho. I have gotten better mpg in the Celica. I don't know about hp wise. Cant feel 3-4hp but in dynos its proven that it works.

 

Pour in additives don't do anything for a car with less than 200,000 miles.

 

I just added the TX7 in the 350. Before I was getting 17/26.3mpg now I am getting 31.6/38mpg. I'm using it with Mobile1. I would suggest looking into this, I also feel a small difference in response.

 

 

C.R. did extensive research on oil additives; bottomline: DON'T waste your money on them! Modern motor oils are "high tech'", so to speak; they contain all that's necessary for an engine to last over 200k miles, at the very least. Do get high quality oil
filters, so that micronic-size particles are kept from doing damage.

 

I've got the ***** to call out

 

I smell a spammer.

Are you guys always like this for people trying to try something new? It might just been the oil. Who knows? But I do know.. before the oil change I never seen over 26.3


Now, I don't know if I did something wrong during the change or what.. But that's a big difference.

 

LOL at using the gauge..... I can coast down a hill and get 99mpg

 

Damn.. Sorry I'm a Newb at the 350Z and all, but would you like me to video tape it as well? All I'm asking here is whats going on? Even if I am using the gauge. Then why have the numbers changed so much? I just want to make sure I have nothing wrong with the car if its not the oil..
