It's called archoil but, no doubt, you'll all tell me it's actually snake oil

There's a better product, but, since you've bought a car with no spark plugs...

Worth waiting before you put that in? So you get used to it's current performance, then you can tell if it makes a difference?

I've read lots about this on various sites. I'm not worried about performance, I'm more interested in boosting the cetane for a cleaner burn to protect the DPF. A so-called 'expert' reckons that you can put this in shitty diesel (which I won't be using) and get around what he calls the con of premium diesel, which can cost dear at the pump. 
It's just arrived and 1 ltr treats 1000 litres, so we'll see. If my car runs fine with no problems, I'll never know if this stuff had anything to do with that or not. But it can't do any harm and, at £20 to treat 1000 litres, why not?

Petrol

Joking aside, the extra ppl of V power gets returned with improved mpg, so actual cost per mile is, at worst, the same. In reality you'll probably find it lower using premium fuels

So yes, snake oil

Have done enough diesel miles* using both supermarket and posh diesel to appreciate the difference 

Obviously it's not my car, so put what you like in it, but read the warranty carefully...
 
* somewhere in the order of 300k miles.

What warranty?

Besides, if you read my post, I'm not that interested in mpg. I'm hoping, with doing short journeys, it may help to keep the DPF in good (better) condition than it might be.

Using decent fuel should have the same effect.

I suspect you'll find out at ten past three Just don't fill it with unleaded

No otherwise you'd have bought the black one. 

Maybe the 6 speed manual box was a bit complicated?

Trouble is, unlike residents of Darzet, he's only got five fingers.. so that's as high as he can count

Snake oil.

You could have given £20 to help a homeless person instead.

That's what I'd do.
