The way you drive Dave, measuring MPG will be pointless...
I seen you race off at the meetings several times now.
And TSL has probably made you drive even faster

I used this product for over 10 years in all my vintage cars and my modern cars. Even in my compressor that I use to clean etc my cars. It makes a huge difference in engine noice, specially with the cold start and it seems to protect from wear. I have seen the introduction in Holland where they used a little machine that, while running, was drained from it's oil and crashed within a few seconds. After that show they added TSL to the oil in anotherone and did the same thing. The engine kept running for more than 3 minutes. That was the proof that conviced me.
To be clear I have no ties what soever with this product or the company. Just a serious petrolhead, with a nice collection of classic and vintage cars that has very good experiences with this product!
If you do not believe me do not buy it or try it and see for yourself
have a nice day

Well I will just add that in July I went to the GP race at Silverstone and got a mpg of 33.3 on the dash sticking to 75/80 ish, which I thought was good.
I then went to Billing which is the same run and this time I have added the TSL oil and sticking to the same speed 75/80 ish I got 36.9 on the dash going and 36.6 on the way home and the billing trip had all my tools and gear in the back so it was loaded up, I am quite impressed with those results...
PS And my trip on my dash is quite accurate when measured with my Iphone app..
Ok guys I did a test with my FM on the main engine ecu read outs before adding the TSl and after and as the FM cant lie below are the results..
I was a bit skeptical that I would see any difference but my FM don't lie.
First run with engine up to running temp and the idle speed was no higher than 668rpm give or take a couple of rpm's
Second run after covering 500 miles with measurement straight from cold engine idle 760 rpm to 800 plus .. now this is when the oil is cold and thicker so I should see lower rpm's really until the oil had warmed up so I would say a big YES to making a difference to the oil's viscosity.
With the added bonus of the above fuel increase uts a no brainer to add it...
ps I have live data captured of the results

Ok,So I put the TSL in approx 2 weeks ago,then had a 30 mile trip home,when I started it the next morning I noticed a difference straight away in the noise levels,def much quieter on startup.
I have had a 929 mile round trip down to Reading/Langley and although I have had to change my wheels and tyres from my 20" to my 19" with MTR's I am seeing an improvement in MPG.My last trip with the 20's returned 27.6,The trip down on 19's=26.9 and trip back returned 27 MPG,same setup same load same route.In fact I was carrying more on the way back(picking up parts from DiscoDunc's)
Normally I get a drop of between 3-4 MPG with the MTR's from the 20's.
So,pleased so far but will run another comparison when I get the 20's back on.
Cheers Hess

TSL
Hess, might be a stupid question, but I assume it can only be added as part of an oil change ? ?

Hi Phil S, not a stupid question at all.
TSL can be added at any time, by simply pouring it in the engine.
However, since you only add TSL once per oil cycle, you would ideally
want to do this straight after an oil change.
This so you get to benefit the longest possible time from the treatment.
If you change your oil every 10.000 miles for arguments sake, then if
you're at 8.000 since your last oil change it would be better to wait until
you've changed your oil. So your 1st TSL treatment would be good for another 10.000 then.
If you've only done about 1000 or 1500 since your last oil change, then you can
add it straight away.
Whichever you prefer is fine.
But it can be added at any time.
Hope that explains it

Bought the 250ml TSL from Hess and it arrived early following morning. Top man. Not done enough miles to compare mpg before and after but initial impressions are that engine is slightly quieter and feels smoother. Rather enjoying driving again in the Disco instead of the usual feeling that some impending electrical or mechanical failure is looming. I'll do an mpg comparison in about a week.
They did a lot of hard selling into industry in the 90's.....some bought others didn't
It didn't catch on in most
I saw the test done & then repeated using a drop of Fairy liquid in plain hydraulic oil (Shell Tellus 27)..same results
If I had got (i.e. bought) a franchise (which is unlikely) I wouldn't give up the day jobBREXIT - done properly.
Right now ...We need Government - not Politics
