Q:I had a small drip between my trasfer case and transmission on my 94 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I took it to a couple of really busy transmission shops and was advised by both they could repair for $500-$700 or I could put Trans X in to soften the seal It workedno more dripNapa said I can keep it in and not worry about it, but a friend told me it needs to be drained due to debris could now be in trannyHow long should I run before draining? I have no problem with the cost of draining and new trans filterjust need to know for sure I should do it!

Problem is those seal softeners weaken the seal even more overtime. I don't think the additive will affect the tranny but sooner or later that seals going to need to be replaced.

Q:Are earl additives just a waste of money ?

I don't know about earl additives But, Yes. Oil additives are a waste of money. Most only add a higher vicosity to your oil, nothing more. And on top of that, with a higher viscosity your going to use more fuel because now your engine is going to have to work harder to move it's parts through the heaver oil.

Q:are they safe? are they worth using? do they really do what they're advertised to do?

they are safe, for the most part. as a rule of thumb, put a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in your tank at every oil change. we pay a lot for gas, but are getting less detergents. a lot of fuel additives are primarily kerosene that's been modified chemically. Use something like Techron or Seafoam, Gumout or Redline's complete fuel system cleaner. the oil additives, they serve a purpose, if you need them. some will thicken oil to increase compression if you have that problem, others are designed to stop leaks from the seals, sometime they work, but it depends on the leak. there's an additive by Lucas, called oil stabilizer, it works very well, I use it mainly in the summertime because our california sun is so blistering hot, and I sit in traffic quite a bit, I let the oil stabilizer do its magic. it makes the oil morestickier", so it adheres to the parts better (and longer). It also helps rejuvenate the rubber seals so they won't leak. My car has 174,000 miles, and I have never replaced a seal or gasket yet. what's your car doing or not doing? that depends on what addtive you should or shouldn't use. a lot additives out there I consider snake oil. essentially they have to work somewhat, but some are more potent than others, and yes, I've tried them all.

Q:Differences between extreme pressure additives and lubricating additives

Adding one or more compounds in the lubricant to give the lubricant a certain characteristic or to improve some of the properties already present in the lubricant. The role of additives is to improve the performance of base oils and to add new properties. Existing properties include: viscosity, viscosity index, pour point and oxidation resistance. New features include: cleaning and suspension capacity, abrasion resistance and corrosion inhibition

Q:it is a fraction

I use Tilex, but use rubber gloves, turn on the bathroom fan and all the windows. A mask wouldn't hurt either. It is powerful!

Q:What is the effect of air conditioning energy-saving additives?

The polarized electromagnetic molecules of air conditioning energy-saving additives have a negative charge and have a strong affinity with the positive charge of the metal surface of the refrigeration unit (condenser, evaporator, compressor, pipe, etc.), penetrates the oil film structure, embeds the metal surface Lattice gap, and gradually decompose and replace the deposition in the metal surface of the oil layer in the metal surface to form a layer of molecular film - Samett permanent protective film, thereby improving the air conditioning system energy efficiency, greatly reducing the starting current and compression Machine running time, reduce power consumption, to save energy and extend the life of the dual effect of equipment.

Q:Heard of gasoline additives to remove the fuel injector and the piston above the carbon deposition, who knows where the cleared carbon has gone?

Generally good gasoline additives to decompose and then burn, carbon can burn are burned, can not burn into small particles discharged.

Q:What are the benefits of car additives to cars?

For your question, it is understood that the gas station sold in the gasoline additives are clean detergent, the car fuel intake system, especially the nozzle, intake valve in the sediment cleaning effect, not on Engine has an adverse effect. But can not clean the throttle. In the process of car driving can be the fuel intake system of sediment gradually clean, significantly improve the fuel atomization effect, so that combustion more fully, the thermal efficiency, so as to achieve a certain fuel efficiency. Regular use can effectively remove the car fuel system deposits, keep the fuel intake system and spark plug cleaning, thereby reducing fuel system maintenance costs and extend vehicle life. At present the regular gas station sales of gasoline, have been in accordance with the provisions of the proportion of the addition of full detergent. Fuel oil is equivalent to fuel cleaners, and has been added to the steam, diesel detergent similar, therefore, usually join the ordinary model effect is not obvious, if the vehicle in the urban areas for a long time, then add some still good, hope My answer will help you.

Q:Food additives CMC various models and differences?

Divided into detergent, food additives, drilling fluid, food additives, food additives, toothpaste

Q:Feels a little sluggish. I just wanna try dumping in a bottle of something before I consider a repair

The best fuel additives have already been added to your fuel at the refinery. Any of the after market additives are just ways to drain your wallet and are not needed or helpful.
