Default finally a solution for ims & rms

guys i've just watched a miracle on tv, anybody ever heard of bestline engine treatment, they took the oil out of the motor, cut the water hose & then drove the car another 100 miles & it didn't do anything to the motor, then they took motor out of car & took off valve covers & put liquid glass & sand into the valves & then put the motor under water & it still ran, whats the deal with this, how do they do this, if it was real this would be a miracle cure for every motor. i'd never seen it before, just thought i would share it cause i want to know how they did that.

Mythbusters did same to an old engine without the "miracle" oil. Save your money.

911slow, don't worry i've learned my lesson, i don't put ANYTHING but oem porsche products in car, no additives at all, these cars do not want any foreign liquids in them, even anti-freeze has to be porsche or mineral water & i don't even trust mineral water, do you know if anybody uses any oil or fuel additives.

I don't think you should be using mineral water, wouldn't that leave deposits? I would think you'd use distilled.

see there you go again, even the waters got to be a certain kind, does it have to be purified or spring water, i can't even just put tap water in it.

I use a small bottle of Techron from Chevron, about every 5K. It is just a more concentrated version of what is in the gasoline. I think it helps clean the valves and remove deposits. So far.....so good. (35Kmi)

water should be distilled, not de-ionized, fitered is good, tap (some say no, but I know it is used) and Evian or Auquafina is fine arrowhead is a

hahaha just kidding about that last part

+ one on that... BMW sells the same Chevron Techron with the BMW logo and name on it at the dealership and the bottle is the same only the dealership one is white and a few bucks more (if you read the back its a chevron product.) I do this with every oil change on all my cars and trucks

+1 on Techron. Very good stuff.
I also like to use from time to time Lubromoly Ventil Sauber and Jectron.
Figure it can't hurt.

i was just using that as an example, but now i do know NOT to use it for car, i guess that techron stuff must be pretty good though, i mite try some of that, is it just a small bottle & put in gas tank about every 5,000 miles? i drink the cheap purified stuff from sams club.

Johnny, I do think you've hit the nail on the head. Quite simply, running the car without any oil is the perfect solution for IMS and RMS problems - once your engine seizes up from lack of lubrication, there is no more need to worry about the IMS bearing failing or the RMS leaking!!

(It's like amputating your leg to cure athlete's foot.)
