Sorry to come in late on this one but only just read it this morning. After many years of using one brand of additives/flush a friend of mine went to work for Forte. Needless to say he has been trying to get me using the product he now sells. I agreed to as long as we would do a side by side test against a range of other products e.g. Protec, Tec 2000, Wynns, Wurth, Add It and few others. On the whole they all were much the same when tested as a flush, but when we tested the lubricating properties the results were frightening. Forte had the best lubricating properties the others failed dismelly. Now I know you are all going to say well why does that matter, but when was the last time you dipped the oil befor you added a flush and left the engine running 30 mins. The flush thins the oil so lubricating properties are essential!!!!!!!!!
