[Mr.OmegaMan]

The 3.2 I've got has been standing a few months thinking about adding something like fuel / oil additives..

Like these

(fuel)

(oil)

There seems to be a light tapping sound had to get my head under the bonnet to hear but its there..

Has anyone used these type's of products on (Omega's) with good or poor results 

Thanks in advance..

[05omegav6]

Both used to good effect

[omegod]

Never had much luck with the lifter stuff until my recent 2.6 which it sorted within 100 miles, was a bit surprised to be honest !

[dbug]

Yep used the injector cleaner - good results but may take two treatments.

Never tried the lifter treatment , but Wynnes products usually do what they claim
Found regular oil/filter changes best

[Mr.OmegaMan]

That's good to know 

Now then there appears to be two types of fuel additives..

I've always used the first one

Just done an oil & filter change, Old oil filter had a hole through it and pretty much crumbled in my hands, Looks like previous owner just did the oil not the filter Was awkward to open very tight was easier seen as i removed the steering idler.

Wonder why the other is more than double the price then, Will probably go for the cheaper one.

[dbug]

Yep the cheaper one is ok 

With the lifter issue cured mine on the Elite by a couple of quick oil/filter changes

Top one

Run the tank low, fill with Shell V power and add 2 bottles of that top Wynns, and take it for a good blast

Two bottles  Does it run ok with two seen as the instructions probably says one bottle to a full tank of fuel 

I've only been running it on Shell V-Power Nitro+ since i've had it.

[dbug]

I usually put a bottle in 1/2 tank, so 2 in a tankfull should be ok

Sound, will buy 2 before Amazon run out of stock then. Only 3 left apparently

I've seen lot of people on here rave about wynns products and I've also used them on a low (ish(64k)) mileage v6, that had seemingly done that whole mileage on one oil change, to satisfactory results. Lifter treatment and a engine flush bit long after quietned it down a treat and got all the crappy oil sludge out, also have always sworn by the occasional bottle of fuel treatment, my td's got it on every other fuel filter change

Another thing that might be worth considering, is Slick 50.. I've always been against the stuff until recently, I put some in my 1.3 cdti and it quietned it down and I haven't seen any blue smoke out the exhaust since (it would smoke from cold if parked on a slope facing upward by the right angle and now doesn't) and I SWEAR my fuel tank gives me about 30 miles more since doing so, I also haven't blown it up yet as a result.  something you might want to look into???

[dbug]

I get them from CPC (on business a/c) - they're cheaper
