Default Oil Additives For Turbo Applications? Look Here

Picked this up at a local "thrift" type store where they had a mountain of these Stewart Warner CD-2 Turbo Clean & Lube Oil Additive, so I picked it up for a very low price (not sticker price).

That stuff is going to be flowing through your motor as well. Have you tried it?

No I haven't tried it and don't know if it is any good. Like I said it looked old and were being sold for like a 1.50 or something. If it works I can go back and get more if they still have it (had like 20 cans of the stuff).

Why did some crappy thrift store have it? If it was so awesome it would still be on an automotive store shelf.

Not to sound like my Dad, but if that stuff was worth a S**t the big oil companies would include it in there product.
Stay on top of your oil changes, let the motor cool down right and you'll be fine.

It looks like it ruins the turbo's efficiency, look at all that hot air coming out. It looks like plasma!

Just because it looks old doesnt mean it is. B12 chemtool has had the same label for like 15yrs and that stuff is the ****(for cleaning). Either way...i wouldnt use it. Regular oil changes and proper maintenance will do the job. It might help the turbo...but the main question is what will it do to the rest of the engine?

I wasn't actually going to use it, just checking to see if anyone might have some info on it and to see if it was somewhat of a interesting find (because of age).
