Met someone today who'd gotten 330k out of an allottec without a teardown.

330 doesn't surprise me at all. Mine has done 270 and runs like brand new.
Valvoline is the go, just ask John Laws or Ricky Ponting!

My old boss sold his vz alloytec at 520000km only ever had plugs and an ecu and regular 5000km oil changes towed his racecar all over the country with it went through breakpads and rotors more than anything else lol

Hi all I bought some of the liquid moly Cera Tec and put it the the wife’s car (test mule).

Her car sounds like a diesel when cold till the oil got some temperature so I though why not give it a try really not expecting much.

So I tipped in just under a full bottle (car only holds 4L of oil) and started the car to hear the ticking sound it’s had for ages then about 5-10secs later nothing there’s not ticking sound anymore at all.

Went for about 30min drive to mix it all up with the oil and the car is silent like I don’t even think it was this quiet when we pick it up new.

So all in all very impressed and well be getting 2 more bottles for the mistress next week.

Ok calling , snake oil . If any thing i can hear the upper valve train a bit more , going to replace the DOD filter this weekend hopefully that will quiet things down .

That’s interesting @Wayne001 because I had fantastic results using cera tec in the wife’s car (Barina spark).

How much did you use??
I think you need about 2 cans to get a 6% mix

 

[Wayne001]

I used just one can .

 

[Mattricho]

Maybe try another can and see how that goes.
I haven’t had a chance to do this to the mistress yet as I’m on call at work.

 

[Wayne001]

According to the can one should have done it .
