-
- Your question has been debated at great length here so I'll summarize and
- hopefully prevent you from having to follow a month long thread.
-
- 1. Many people feel S50 works because their gas milege went up or their vehicle
- has better acceleration or their vehicle starts easier.
-
- 2. Many people feel S50 does nothing good or bad but is simply a waste of
- money.
-
- 3. Many people feel S50 harms the vehicle by blocking oil passages, oil filters
- or some other undesireable effect.
-
- SUMMARY
-
- No one has yet supplied any documentation that S50 does damage.
-
- Some have supplied documentation that S50 does work.
-
- Some have argued quite convincingly that S50 cannot work.
-
- OPINION
-
- As a former S50 user I wouldn't spend the money. Instead, just change your
- oil at regular intervals and perform regular maintenence.
