Why is that?

You can use these additives as a tool to overcome specific problems - Pro Ma to quieten noisy hydraulic lifters,the various oil additives like Moreys,STP,Wynns etc to overcome oil burning,noisy timing chains etc,gearbox additives to improve shifting,coolant additives to seal leaks...all sorts of things.But they are bandaids,they fix nothing,your worn motor is a worn motor,all you can do is disguise the symtoms and pass it onto someone else.
Yeah, a bit scrappy I know... you'd think they could do better, I mean, they're not even 200hp to the litre yet, sheesh.Originally Posted by Ixion

sorry gents it's in german, but i thought worth having a look.
a friend of mine is using this stuff in his racing kart and he is defiantly a big fan of mathy. Rpm increased by almost 1500rpm and since he is using this stuff no engine breakdowns occurred (half season). I bought a “new” toy last year and ducati is known for chewing up high vis oils especially the old buggers and the high revving R’s. I have done a bit of investigation to make sure mathe hasn’t got any ceramic, cooper, moly or…. based additives and finally I bought the classic soup. Now 2500km after the oil is much cleaner, the oil temp is around 10+deg lower and the shifting goes easier.
Personally I don’t care about fuel consumption and increasing the oil intervals but if I found the rockers and camshafts in a good shape after this season I will keep using this stuff. If somebody is interested, I can translate and post it.
So far otto mathe was a one handed racer back in the 50/60 and 70s, he was a big Porsche fan but very limited in his budget. To save some bugs he developed mathy classic and surprisingly raced his Porsche for 50000km without an oil change or breakdown. Niki Lauda and other racers were quiet impressed by mathe, not sure if it due to his handicap or oil additive.

I was doing a search as a friend of mine swears by the MBL8 in his guzzis and came across this thread. He uses it in the engine, gearbox and diff. Has hundreds of thousands of kilometers on one of his V11's. I am in the middle of doing the gearbox and engine oils on the Cafe Sport. I did put MBL8 in the diff a while ago and seeing as it cost shitloads I wanted to put it to use but after reading this I am going to forgo putting in the engine and settle for the gearbox.
A good read and a long time since I have been active on this site
