Why ? Is your oil 'unstable' ?? Sounds like 'snake oil' to me.......

Reduces the signs of ageing
Increase oil life at least 50% longer
Reduces oil consumption
Eliminates dry starts
Attracts women
Raises oil pressure
Increases power and miles per gallon

It's expensive so must be good stuff, should be available on the NHS

I could be doing with some of that !

I could do with some of that, do you drink it or rub it on

I tried it in my rover 75 as she has 257000 miles on her now and figured a little boost wouldn't hurt.
definitely quieter and smoother so I think the moggie will get a drop next oil change.

Have a look at car forums for a more balanced view than the makers choose to put on their web site!
I'm sure STP and every other miracle cure for everything sound fine in their advertising.

I'm rummaging around the net to see if I can find horror stories as well, as I'm pretty sure the makers would be fairly selective with what they say.

Don't waste your money.......

If you're engine is good and you change oil every 3000 miles then you shouldn't need it. If your engine is a bit tired then it might mask the wear but potentially cost you more when you come to rebuild it...

I’ve been using Morey’s Oil Stabiliser in my 1980 GS550 based chop for years. It used to break down oil when ridden hard and hot very quickly requiring an oil change as often as 1500 miles. It has extended the life of the oil by several thousand miles and checking the oil consistency regularly I have extended my change period to 6000 miles twice the recommended amount.

The GS550 is known to have oil ways prone to blockage so I stripped the top end down after the first 1000 miles to check and was pleasantly surprised to see no sign of blockages. Also everything had a nice coating of sticky oil over it. It also stopped an annoying end float rattle from the cam shafts at idling speed.

Ill be putting it in the Morris Traveler when I do my first oil change on her. I also use their upper cylinder lubricant and fuel extender in Traveler already.

I wonder why all these 'wonder chemicals' are not specified for modern cars........it's a real mystery.....

I suspect the car manufacturers don't want the cars to last much past the warranty expiry.

Morey’s products were developed in New Zealand to help cope with the rarity of fuel and servicing stations back in the 1970. The fuel extender doesn’t do much in modern cars for range but will clean up exhaust out put remarkably. I used it in a non turbo diesel Renault and got 80 mpg out of it as well as the best MOT emission report the MOT’er had ever seen.

Manufactures and oil companies have done their best over the years to put Moreys out of business (they don’t want engines and fuel lasting to long or they lose sales) and its still only manufactured in small quantity’s.

I first came across it at an engendering firm in Stafford that use it in one of their patented processes for lubrication and can still only get it in small quantities from them.
