In desperation for a smoother ride, I poured in about 100ml of Bardahl One into

my automatic gearbox.....:idea:

Total capacity of ATF including the torque converter is about 6.25 litres

After pouring in, I began to feel scared and wonder whats gonna happen?

What are the consequences and what are the effects?

Can you guys out there please advise?:confused:

100ml isn't much. But looking at the description :

B-1 Oil Supplement maintains new car performance and increases mileage by reducing engine friction and wear. Bardahl's polar attraction formula clings to metal, forming a strong molecular film. Bardahl B-1 helps prevent varnish and sludge from forming on valves and lifters.
I'm thinking if it's enough, it'll probably cause slippage of gears in the worst case scenario and you'll get shitty gear changes/performance.

Too much, it'll slip. Too little, just some little help in lubricating the gearbox. Same as Tufoil. They recommend to use Tufoil in MT gearbox but only 10ml. Auto gear box? Less than 10ml. So 100ml? I dont knw. Just tell us what happen.

Im beginning to doubt do you even have a Beetle.
Beetle only cost a few thousand RM la....

Nowadays few thousand RM you can divert from your smartphone budget & Michelin tyre budget which I did.

Not mentioning names but most probably you guys know who they are, are always suspicious in others whom post, they think others are also liar like him...

I was once being a suspect for being SueLee, Sierra333 or even Ms Loli.

Its also hilarious for me to be suspicious of using these usernames...

Some also suspected Steven Pheng of being trying to sell obat by pretending to be a few members on the Coating Needed thread.

Unfortunately, I also replied in the coating needed thread..

They may also jump into conclusion that I am Steven Pheng as well.

Really you guys let your imaginations run wild!

Some even mentioned "DEAD CORPSE" and BEETLE GRAVEYARD LANE" out of own imaginary bluffs
and lies to avenge his anger and jealousy...(refer Abandoned Cars thread)

So, STPcar, if you really dont believe I have a beetle, why not you get ready the LED 3rd brake light
and I bring my beetle to your place to get it fixed?

Dont tell me you are also like SF, run away after I challenge him to post the 4 VW graveyard lane photo in exchange for my VW beetle photo?

So do you have the guts to take up my sincere challenge or run away with tails between the dogs leg just like your friend did?:banghead:

Gear changes getting smoother....

More quiet......

More responsive so far....

A slight increase in pickup power....

Understand what Bardahl 1 does and what it's meant for, then figure it out yourself.
From what I learnt, Bardahl 1 is a protective layer of lubricant that clings onto to metal parts with its
polar attraction technology....

Just like those that the Castrol Magnatec has, but Bardahl 1 is in a more concentrated form & pure,
not mixed into the Castrol engine oil.

I saw the Bardahl oil less challenge, where the test run a Proton Wira from PJ to JB, then to Penang or somewhere north of Malaysia without any engine oil in the engine after treating it with Bardahl 1 and back to PJ again!.

I was so impressed, as it was done by Cycle & Carriage, with AAM officials as inspectors.

So I "guess" it can do some good for my auto transmission as well...

But before this I have tried pouring in one 350ml can into my power steering system.

Wow ! The result is super fantastic!:love:

Done some homework before, did the same on my power steering system no problem...:driver:

Total ATF capacity is 6.25 litres

I only poured 100ml

In percentage wise its only 100/6,250 which is barely 1.6% of the content.

Probably I hope so.... its only a drip in the ocean...

Do you think its OK?:confused:

Yeah....

Times are bad....

Got to get to know the cheapest way of getting the best run for my cars...

Little bit send to specialist and wait in the comfort of the aircond customer lounge is not my cup of tea.

Sometimes got to be engineer, got to be doctor as well...

Thats what internet is for!:listen::driver::idea:

Lesley - this is why people always complain. You are already adamant / firm on what you're doing is 'correct' and yet you ask the obvious question when you already are dead set on your response being the correct one.

If it works for you then good for you. Share your experience and just tell it as it is. Not ask an obvious question that will result in people firing you or questioning your sincerity.

So right now - if you ask me - Magnatec is rubbish. Clinging onto engine internals like that cannot be a good thing. Everything has a lifespan especially when exposed to extreme heats you get in the engine. So say this clingy thing clings on and eventually wears out, what happens to it? Can you say : very-hard-to-remove-sludge?
