Shopee seller got banned/ frozen can be due to many reasons.

One jersey seller got banned/ frozen due to not able to process orders within 24 hours.

Maybe the same case happened with Vanli.

Never heard of this brand before but as long as got api certified should be fine for daily use car, if vanli sell it no need to worry, sure quality engine oil πŸš™πŸš—πŸš™πŸš—πŸš™

Summary from this video,
Engine Oil additive are BAD. This based on any oil analysis not butt dyno.
Engine Flush is bad, better take good quality EO and change regularly.
Fuel cleaner is good only on certain brand, Techron bottle is one.
Fuel Booster to get Ron "upgrade" is just bad for the engine oil life and fuel quality

I recognise this guy, I've watched many of his own videos on YT.

Fuel system cleaner (Techron) works for me, just a maintenance product to keep the fuel injectors happy.

The retail price seem to sit below Syntium line-up, not sure where it's made. My recent purchase of 2 bottles Syntium 3000E 5w40 are blended locally.

I don't have good access to Caltex station, so I just pump other brands nearby. Maybe, if your car has been using Caltex all the time, might not need the treatment. Supposedly all brands have their own blend of additives, so it's not really compulsory per say.

I tried because my car is very old, and I suspect few of the injectors not working perfectly. After one bottle Techron with one tank of regular 95, it improved the idling vibration I was having to a certain extent, and slightly smoother revs. But all these improvements have to view in relative aspects, since the car is old with other aging components, it cannot help if something is actually broken. If your car is quite new, good maintenance and no tangible issue that you can feel, it is likely a waste of money.

For my own cars, planning to use a bottle every 20,000KM. Bought mine at about RM50 a bottle from Caltex official store on Shopee.

Think occasional spirited drive/longer trips should keep the engine healthy thumbsup.gif
