If so would you recommend it for an engine with 151k?

I would only recommend it for the engine of someone you hate.


I do however recommend Seafoam and Marvel Mystery Oil. Cleaning the throttle body and intake manifold works the best though.

Stay away. stay far far away.

if your engine is low on compression, rebuild it, don't just pour glue in it to try to band-aid the problem.

Yeah, we once pored Engine restore into an old corolla with 252,000 on the clock. It actually became slower but the compression went up. too bad it failed emissions. Finally we just rebuilt the engine.

on top of the marvel mystery oil, I know I personally don't run synthetic but I add tufoil to mine, and I've seen it even save an american car! hah. Actually that's how I started using it, my father sold a 91 Dodge Dynasty with 181k and it was running as smoothly as the day he bought it. Just my 2 cents

synthetic blends are a waste of money IMHO.

Where can you buy this Tufoil at?

john93se

I would have to ask my Dad if he actually gets it from the store, I know that you can call tufoil from their website number http://www.tufoil.com/orderinfo.html

I agree. I think he is referring to the notorious seal leak problems *some* high mileage cars have after switching to synthetic.

Generally speaking, if the car is not leaking oil now, you aren't going to leak going to synthetic. Yes its not always the case, but meh, for the most part its how it goes.

Besides, you've already got so much oil in the engine already, using full synthethic on the switch will already be a blend, lol.
