supra-alex Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 cuz i work in a dealership it cost me £15 for 5 litres, not bad unless thats the retail price too...... its the durablend one ? does anyone else use it tried to get the silkolene one but can't get it from general shops ie halfords. been told this stuff is just as good. As im not using me car at the mo, i started it today (standing) for 10 mins not been touched in 2 days in this weather is it normal for the smoke to be coming out in quite large quantities upwards rather than vertical , its all dark grey stuff no blue whatsoever ?

supra-alex Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 i was thinking the two so typed em instead of upwards and straight out the exhaust ? what does it mean ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 It doesn't mean anything other than you haven't started the car for a while. Probably a bit of oil from the stem seals, a bit carbon, a lot of condensation. Don't worry about it unless it starts doing it every day. Is your car decatted? TT or N/A ? (A meaningful sig would help if you aren't going to put the car details in the post when asking for advice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oilman Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I wouldn't mention it in the same breath as Silkolene PRO as it's not a 100% pao/ester, it's a hydrocracked oil (petroleum based). No doubt it will be fine in your car but not the same as the Silkolene I'm afraid. Cheers Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
