    Activ 8 any good ?

    A guy at work swears by it, but he mainly uses it on motorcycles.
    Is it any good and does it justify the cost ?

    Anyone use it ? The guy says its better than slick 50
    For what this cost me so far I could have bought an S2

    I've not heard of it unfortuantely but it did remind me of activ 8

    Slick 50 is apparently very good but not sure on s2's

          ive wondered about this aswell, Ive got many friend that have used it in tuned turbo engines and its cured some strange problems and they swear by it aswel, but ive never had the guts to put it in mine.

          Apparently because it makes a film around everything if you add one bottle it can last up to 4 oil changes.

          I saw a demo of it at a car show on a mini before and they ran the engine with oil and activ 8, drained the oil and then ran it for awhile then ran it on the dyno, didnt seem to do any damage then.
