BLFarrar,
TSL is in no way related, produced, sold by or associated with SFR.
Nor has it ever been in over 20 years.
The logo is not the same at all. Both brands have an oil drop shaped logo.
But there are very distinct differences. It'd be the same as saying just
because Pepsi and Coca Cola both have a round button as a logo, they're the same company.
I didn't get nor bought a SFR franchise, as the franchise in the UK is already occupied
by SFR - Great Britain for Europe.
And we are all aware that I import from The Netherlands, but SFR is marketed by a company
over there called "Jambo-international" which has the selling rights.
Details of international sellers here: https://www.sfrcorp.com/worldwide/
I welcome any comments, positive, negative or sceptical but with all due respect would
kindly request that when these are made that they are about TSL and not
other brands and products that are in no way associated with TSL.

I Didn't
But i hate to see guys get into pyramid selling.....or buyers spend cash on something that just isn't worth it...the Kings invisible clothes.
Hess.....When you get your demo rig just try the fairy liquid test......I saw this done.
Actually.....If you trawl the net there are many additives - most have the same claims & very similar tests all claiming to be the Timken test....the reason its called this is it uses a bearing roller similar to a Timken one.
Probably the worst was MotorUp...they had to defend some hefty claims in US & Australian courts.... BREXIT - done properly.
Right now ...We need Government - not Politics

Pyramid selling is actually illegal in the U.K. so I think Martin
will have made absolutely sure that it isn't happening here.
Out of the people who've bought TSL, 19 buyers have added their reviews now,
and they have indeed noticed it is worth it.
When you take all the MPG reports, the average improvement on MPG alone is 2.27
This 2.27 MPG improvement in fuel economy actually is worth £ 211.92 in savings
in a single engine oil cycle.
On a 10.000 mile cycle:
Distance: 10.000 miles
MPG: 25
Fuel: 1.40 ltr
Cost: £ 2545.81
Distance: 10.000 miles
MPG: 27.27
Fuel: 1.40 ltr
Cost: £ 2333.89
£ 2545.81 - £ 2333.89 = 211.92
So, based on the average reported MPG improvement of 2.27,
people would save £ 211.92.

Hess is right, Pyramid selling is illegal and rightly so...
I once bought a pyramid but it turned out to be a prismatoid
just thought I'd lighten the mood
Good on ya Hess let me know when you start selling over here. It is better to have and not need it then need and not have it.

Just thought I'd post up my personal experience after adding TSL to my oil. Firstly I'd like to congratulate Hess on his professional approach in regards to his ordering and dispatch of this product(arrived next day) the little 250ml bottle came with a little measuring guide, funnel and wipes which I thought was a nice touch. Added my first dose of TSL at the office and then drove approximately 40 mile back home, didn't notice that much difference at first but after the car had stood for a few hours I had to go out in it again to pick some stuff up from the next village. I noticed the engine turned over much quicker and started better, the engine note was considerably quieter and pick up seemed really smooth. I couldn't tell at that point any improvement to the mpg as I'd put my Thule 780 top box on and also Thule back box loaded up to the maximum ready for our tour round Europe. Spent our two weeks traveling round Europe getting 25.5mpg which is not much different from what the D4 normally returns, came home unloaded and went to a wedding some 150 miles away. The D4's trip showed an average of 28.2mpg when I got home so I'd safely say after adding the TSL I had an increase of over 2mpg which seems in line what what other people are reporting. I will be putting a shot of this in all of my works vans as it will pay for itself in no time.
Well done Hess for having the bottle to take this on, keep going fella  Club Exped trailer

Update: 4332 miles since adding TSL. Fuel economy is holding at a steady 1.5mpg above what I used to average over the previous 113,000 miles in the old girl.
Engine remains much quieter and turns over faster on start up.
When we change my wife"s car I will add TSL in as soon as we drive off the forecourt.
I think this is a great product and Hess provides great service. Many businesses could learn from his customer service.

And my update using TSL
my corsa van is doing 59.8 mpg taken from brim to brim refill so didnt really take a lot of notice but over the last 1500 miles i have and can now say that its doing 62.4mpg so im very happy indeed plus I've got the added bonus of it being quieter
ps anybody down south near me that wants any TSL give me a shout

A wee update from me too.
As I said before I don't normally look at MPG but thought id give it a go out go interest and for the purposes of TSL. I have also been adding 2 stroke recently on the last couple of fill ups.
Having filled the tank last week and adding 500ml of 2 stroke in conjunction with the TSL it returned 27.3 MPG which I think is much in line with what's been delivered, BUT for 90% of the time I had my roof box on full of camping gear so I think there is still room for improvement!
I will give it another go once I take my roof box off!
Thanks again Hess!
