What are additives

Before you decide one to buy additive for your car, it is important that you know what exactly an additive is. Additives are agents that can be added to fuel, oil and radiator. There is still a very large group of people who know nothing about the existence of additives. In addition, not everyone agrees on the usefulness of additives. Some believe that additives are panaceas that can prevent expensive repairs, while others have no use for them at all and think they are a waste of money.

We are convinced that additives are certain added value could be. However, it is all about using the additives correctly and having realistic expectations of the outcome. When people have negative experiences after using an additive, this may have a number of causes.

The usefulness of additives

First of all, the quality of the additive may leave much to be desired. Not all additives are of the same quality. For example, the active ingredient ratio of Lindemann additives is considerably higher than that of most competitors. If your car has a consumption of 1:500 then it is a final issue and an additive will not solve the problem. An additive remains a stopgap measure that can ensure that an expensive repair can be postponed for a while. In addition, the right advice is always very important. A Lindemann expert can generally tell you whether an additive is useful or whether it is hopeless. For example, a mechanical problem cannot be solved with an additive. The fact that an additive does not help has nothing to do with the quality of the product, but rather with the lack of good advice.

There are 3 types of additives, namely fuel, oil and radiator additives.
