<VV> Re: BG PRODUCTS my 3 cents worth

[N2VZD at aol.com]

being a skeptic of chemical trickery over the years i was invited to a clinic 
a long time ago on bg products. the trans additive was amazing stuff , added 
to burnt fluid it seemed to clean it up and replace damaged additives in 
minutes , turning the fluid color almost to a normal color. i never believed in it 
much , but used their oil additive as an assembly lube for years after 
watching the comparison with stp on one of those spinning bearing demos.  .
the stuff i did use that works very well, was the fuel additive it was much 
cheaper than storex and "raised the octane". i used it for storage in my boats 
and cars for years.  i have since lost connections with salesman after i 
retired and they are only at chrysler dealers here now. i still feel there is no 
substitute for comeplete draining of trannys by removing the pan and washing the 
screen etc.  i drained converters also on some of them by drilling a 1/8 pipe 
thread hole in the converter edge for draining. worked well on most cars.  i 
am not a believer in extra oil additives either. no substitute for a good oil 
and filter change in any engine or tranny or even power steering on newer 
cars. very important for survival of steering racks and pumps. i see the proof 
very often in the scrap  and core bin at my old garage..
