    Nulon Engine Treatment additive

    Hi All,

    once a while i buy this Nulon Engine treatment for my previous car and put them on about after 1000km each oil service.
    I used to service my car every 6000 or 6months (warranty purposes).

    Because the POLOs have 15k intervals i was thinking of using this Nulon Engine Treatment additive (the one that mixes with the engine oil) I was wondering if anyone else have used this in their polo and if:

    1) Can be used in our POLOs
    2) if so, can you feel the difference (engine sound, smoothness )
    3) it will void warranty?

    thoughts?

    thanks

    Hi Hillbilly,

    Do you ask him to put the nulon on for you during service?

    Whats the warranty that makes you service it so often.

    Its 15K or 12 months. The dash tells you when it's due. Surely the manufacturers recommendations have precedence?

    The VW additive that gets used at service on petrol engines, goes into the fuel tank.

    If the correct oil is used, I wouldn't bother adding anything to it. 15K intervals is well within it's typical service life.

    sorry my previous quote re: 6 monthly service was from my previous car. what i meant to say was its the first time i have had to wait 12 months or 15k to service a car. All the cars i owned (second hand with warranty) i was servicing it every 6 months.

    Oil additive sounds dodgy. Wouldn't you just use vw approved 505/507 oil and be done with it?
    I can understand fuel additives that are meant to clean the injectors...
