Hi everyone,
I am curious whether these additives (oil and fuel) like Seaform, Mystery Oil, Redline etc. are snake oil or there is some truth to it?
Anyone using them or any recommendations? Open for suggestions
Thanks in advance.

There are specific ones for bikes. QUOTE(jaycee1 @ Aug 16 2022, 09:37 AM) I don't understand additives at all. The bike (or car) is designed to use regular oil. And NEVER use car engine oil additives on a bike because the clutch uses the same oil with the engine. On that note, NEVER use car engine oil on a bike.

Abang, isn't this minyak lori, betul can put in moto enjin.....? QUOTE(ajaibman @ Aug 16 2022, 04:59 PM) Use Diesel grade engine oil (Rotella/Rimula or Uraina).. its JASO MA compliant. still safer than those additives TS mentioned.

Have to tembak... coz no idea. The name i mentioned are the popular ones when I did a search. HDEO is for very old moto (>10years) or new one also can. QUOTE(alexei @ Aug 17 2022, 03:51 PM) HDEO in motorcycles... people been using for ages the list of additives, you also cincai tembak some brand names we also difficult to answer you some are snake oil, some have specific function some ppl spray water into intake manifold for decarbonize you got hear before? in some cases, water mist also can perform certain function to engine or components majority ppl just avoid it because some do more harm than good, some are placebo

i got myself a can of Seaform. Added some into the FZ engine. It felt super smooth after running it around. Quieter too. Power still the same thought.
Fuel remains as it is. I can add Seaform in it but I am waiting for Redline to come in and test. Try first.
Will compare this with Shell HDEO in the next oil change. Watch many vids on it. Most seems pretty positive.

Updates: 1010 km reached and I changed to HDEO Rimula R4x 15w-40. . Took the Effjek on her normal 50km makan angin vroom vroom ride.... engine behaving nicely. First impression smooth without Seaform (maybe still new). Maybe over thinking it but I think the clutch change seems more sharper. No sticky.

Thanks for the hint. I scheduled a change at 5000 km... every 5 oil change with check at every oil change QUOTE(alexei @ Oct 13 2022, 08:33 AM) Regular change the spark plug will be more worthy, follow the owners manual and cut it to half.

Rimula setting in nicely. 200km above now. Engine very smooth and clutch change is good as well.
Downside... power dropped. It takes a little bit more throttle and time to go above 100km.
My opinion... I going to finish the remaining 2 bottles for the subsequent oil change. Shell having sales, buy 2 get 1 free. Most likely will stick with it for now. Touring mode... not really going up to high speeds anyway. Besides that my old effjek might not be able to sustain so.
