Well that **** is pretty thick, I would think it would gum up the rotors, or clogg the oil injectors.

Don't even think about using it, BADBADBAD. Fix the problem, before you encounter more looking for an easy fix. My buddy tried it and well, enough said.

PEACE THE DOG

Well, back to the original issue, smoking problem, white smoke, black smoke, blue smoke, what? I used the stuff when I first had smoking "issues", and when I fixed the problem, that crap took forever to get rid of. So , a little more info please!

PEACE MOMBO

Isn't this stuff already covered before?
Have you done a search to see if this was covered before?

Do you even know what these things do?
It sounds like you had an idea and wanted support for or against your idea, but did you really did some research before posting your question?

from what i've heard the bardahl stuff takes 1000 km (give or take) before you see visible results. if the car is sitting... Using it is a different story. i read somewhere that the rotary's are picky with bardahl, lucas, and other additives. i'd be just replacing the seal and fixing it the right way.

If it overheated, stop driving the car and start saving for a rebuild
