oil additives

(1/3) > >>

blackeagles:
anyone use oil additives in their engines?  from what I can understand they cannot be used in wet clutch engines  so I guess no but I thought I would ask.

Nurse Julie:
No additives in any of our SOHC/4's, including all the 750's. What sort of additive do you mean🤔 As long as the oil you use it to the correct specification, that's enough.

blackeagles:
ok, thanks.

I usually put stp oil additive (also called oil treatment) or the wynns version in my cars and bikes as added internal metal to metal protection (and it makes the engine a lot quieter!!).  I have not put any in my moto guzzi nor the cb 400 I have recently finished a 'light' resto on as both have a wet clutch but I was thinking of using stp in both and the cb750f2 I have almost finished not least so it quietens down the primary drive chain!!.

I use the diesel version of triple qx in my 750 as I once read that the additives for the diesel turbo are good for the old wet clutches

Green1:
I think the additives change the viscosity and thats why there quieter.
If the oil is in good condition you wont get metal to metal contact.
