A few years back, our customers sought advice on poor fuel economy during winter months, particularly with diesel-powered vehicles. This phenomenon is easily explainable. The reason is that many fuel companies around the colder parts of the world, the UK being one of them, switch fuels during winter. This usually occurs in the UK around […]

Do Fuel and Oil Additives Really Work?

by Andy Published on Thursday, May 30th, 2013

Firstly, we need to understand what is meant by “work” as there are conflicting ideas and interpretations. Some would consider “work” to improve performance or increase mpg, whereas others would consider “work” to clean the fuel system, restore fuel injector efficiency or reduce friction. Others would consider a product to have “worked” if it resolved […]

Best Synthetic Motor Oil

by FTE Published on Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

Synthetic motor oils have been around since World War II, although they were mainly used in the aviation industry back then. It wasn’t until decades later that the automotive sector pulled its finger out and started incorporating synthetic technology into the engine oil. Although more expensive, there is no doubt they offer much more significant […]

What is the Best Motor Oil - Our View

by FTE Published on Monday, April 4th, 2011

Motor oil is used to lubricate, cool, and protect. It lubricates the moving parts and keeps your engine clean and cool by absorbing and dissipating some heat generated through friction and the combustion process. Its additive pack is also designed to collect particulates and other contaminants and transport them to the oil filter. To understand […]
