Hi All,

Just wondering if any of you are using engine additive for your car and if you do, does it makes any difference in performance and saving on fuel?

I saw this on indiegogo and was wondering if I should add it to my 2017 2.5L CX5 or its too new to do so?

Thanks.

States it reverses wear. That statement along suggests it is a fraudulent product. Forget it. Ed

I would be worried about how this stuff could cause problems with bearings, variable valve timing mechanisms, etc. Also, use the right oil, change regularly and follow the maintenance schedule and the engine should last a good long time.

IMO no need to use such thing.

Give your CX-5 some time to run in and your fuel economy will improve over time

Soooo, if one were to use this product long enough would you end up with a like new motor that has to be broken in again?

Did a little more web searching. Interesting small start-up. No data I could find to back the claims. I wouldn't want to be an early adopter, especially with a newer vehicle.
