me castrol gtx 20w50 rm32 + 1 bottle tufoil.. pretty happy with it. revving higher then ever.
but i notice something different than before after adding the tufoil, that is it idle damn slow, 700 rpm only when the engine is cold, and if you switch on the aircond it drop another 200rpm and the car shake like hell.. but the engine is still running at 500rpm <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle'

Franklin Reick's ( Tufoil Inventor ) idea of this highly acclaimed product is that you can have a leaner fuel-air mixture and a lower idle settting for the carburettor.
In cars where the idle speed is not electronically controlled, you may succeed in actually setting the idle speed at even 500 - 600 and the engine is still ticking. This saves you fuel in jams. When your engine is hot, all the bearings are easy with Tufoil and this accounts for the idle at 1200. The hot oil is also more fluid. Morning oil is cold and like tar !! Can you swim in the mud?
Your lower idle speed, Rollakid could be due to your more viscous and gummy oil that you are using now. You were probably using an oil that was less viscous before.
