Hi Laurence,

Thanks for your comments.

I might try an engine flush next time although I last changed the oil after just 1,500 miles and it was still in really good condition so I was probably being over-cautious anyway. I’ll do the next one after another 2,500 miles and see what it’s like. I take your point about residue.

I’d still be interested to hear other people’s views if they want to join the discussion.

Interesting that the moly additive did nothing but it sounds as if you had/have a very specific problem with oil consumption that the moly products possibly aren’t really claiming to help with. 100mpg oil consumption! WOW! I’m glad the Redex has bought that down to manageable levels.

In hadn’t considered the moly products for being used in engines. The one I’ve seen was specifically for gearboxes and axles. As I mentioned in my original post, I suspect they’re not of great benefit. A good modern oil, changed regularly, must surely be sufficient.

An interesting topic.
