Is Wynns Lifter Treatment any good?
« on: 28 June 2012, 18:32:02 »

As above...

I have heard mixed reviews about this and know it hasn't helped the Tunnster.... has it helped anyone else though?

My issue is more pressure related than lifter, it does work rather well if a sticky lifter is your problem.

No harm sticking it in  :y

It works very well. Used it several times with good results in that it quitens down the top end tap you get from too long an oil change interval.

It is lifter treatment. Very specific product. The fact it hasn't worked on Tunnies car means the problem is not to do with goop blocking the lifter oil ways. So the logic is, his issue lies elsewhere, not that wynns LT doesn't work. If that makes sense...?

I agree, it works if thats the problem.

Works best by changing the oil, then putting it in and leaving in for 3k miles.

i note that a bottle does cars that take up to 6L of oil. perfect.... however, when i do my oil change should i still put 5.75L in or reduce the oil to take into consideration the lifter treatment? :)

Just put in the normal amount of oil, the treatment won'e make much difference to the level, thats how I have always done it anyway.
