I went there to buy a couple of pair and noticed they had motorup so thought I would ask here for comment :)

A guy I used to work with used it in his Corolla. Said it had a bit more get up and go and sounded a lot healthier but used more gas, so he didn't bother using it again haha.

what about those dodgy wynns products instead?, slick 50 is another alternative as well, although an engine flush product may provide better results (theres a recent thread on here somewhere)

Read the flush thread and had already purchased a flush (so a good reinforcement) - ute will be done this weekend, the wee car was done couple of weeks ago (not flushed though). the price of oil for the wee Honda is SHOCKING!!!!

The cruiser.. mmm well oil, filter, start process (not been run for a couple of months now). Will flush it too unless some smart cookie in here warns me against that.

I tried using that motorup in a rally car motor quite a while back.

When I went to rebuild it and get the cam ground they asked if I had run motorup through the motor as they couldn't grind the cam very easily. They told me it was the only stuff they found that actually did anything, to the extent of not being able to grind engine componants easily.

It's worth a try anyway - on a good motor anyway, I dunno if I'd used it in a crappy old clanga though.
