I believe a oil change in a 2.7 tdv6 is 5.45litres so you should be adding 275ml to the oil. Looking forward to hearing some results, especially MPG. I like others on here change oil at more frequent intervals, I'm every 7.5k at aprox 3 months. So would get expensive.
Good luck

Been using it since last Thursday and it defenitely seems that the engine runs smoother.
- On ignition the engine sounds less rough.
- More quiet at cruising speed
But the biggest improvement is this (don't know if any of you expereience the same);
When I am driving and I take my foot of the throttle there is a distinct resonance/vibration/noise when the speed drops. Its not loud or disturbing, more a bit annoying. When my car is serviced and the oil has been renewed these symptons have gone to reappear again over a few thousand Km.
This resonance/noise now has become a lot less to a stage where it's no longer annoying.
Lubrication seems to be much better because of TSL and therefore probably less wear on the engine.....
Can't comment on the MPG at the moment as I only have done short distances and no highway. Will comment on that as well as soon as I have done a long stretch.
I used it for my Freelander as well but don't have feedback on that yet. Poored the remainder into the Disco's fueltank this afternoon.
So far I can recommend it everybody. CLUB ILLEGAL CAR WASHERS

I also had a 2-3 second rattle on a cold start. Talked about it with the stealer but they didn't see it as an issue. Read more members here had this rattle.
Since I poored TSL in oil the rattle has gone.... CLUB ILLEGAL CAR WASHERS

Hi would TSL be ok with the D4 3.0 ltr engine ? What sort of Guarantee (if any) come with it about not damaging the engine ( i have heard horror stories about engine additives causing all sorts of problems) What size would i need to buy for the 3ltr diesel engine ?

It has English subtitles and demonstrates the machine being tested under load with
normal engine oil, then with TSL added and afterwards with no engine oil at all, only TSL.
Please check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I_ngIKOEEU
Thank you in advance for watching it

All the same IMHO. Still not convinced either... My D3 Build Thread

All good and well putting a torque wrench on it and a bloke pushing it down
but in the TSL video there is 300KG hanging on it.
That'd be a bloke weighing 660 pounds hanging from the Torque Wrench.

| if it saves $73+ per bottle |
|
then it maybe worth at least to keep getting the savings but what are the really LONG long term benifits to the engine at a mechanical level
it might be worth watching this regarding those test

best get head & shoulders  Experience is a difficult teacher, because she gives the test first and then the lesson afterwards!!!!
