I also don't know what bg moa is but if it's an oil additive, none if you use a quality oil such as Mobil 1.

Really? Is there some wording on the can about so many ounces of this to so many quarts of that? I was curious what bg moa was...hence I opened the thread.
Move along, folks, there's nothing to see here...

It takes a lot of the small cans, but just a few of the big ones.

So if he had 2 small cans, 1 full big can, and a 1/3 full big can would that do it>

BG Products, Motor Oil Additive I believe is the real name. My advice, proceed w. caution. I used BG products in many cars and many parts of the car for awhile. I stopped after they recommended a manual trans fluid for a Chrysler manual trans.

Chrys. had two different fluids for the trans: auto trans and manual trans fluids. Guess which was specifically recommended for the manual trans by the trans mfr? Right---the auto trans fluid.

BG's product was wrong for the trans and caused a rebuild kit to be needed. They got their last dollars from me about seven years ago. I'm sure small cos. have some good engineers always looking to put out a great new product. But sometimes the engine, trans, diff, or axle mfr. knows best. Jmo.

I dont ever recall in the many a thousands of threads I have read over the years on here an engine failure due to oil/lubrication. It just doesn't happen.

There seems to be a plethora of drivers who think that additives have to added to just about everything nowadays.
I believe that except for zinc on some motors, there are enough additives already in the lubricating products out there, but JMHO

The only additives I ever use is a bottle of Techron in the tank every six months. Nothing else is needed.

Why would you put that garbage in your engine? Just say no to oil additives!
