Hi all,

After adding boric acid powder in engine oil & completed running almost 2000km I decided to change the oil.....as soon as boric acid comes in contact with inside metal parts under high temparature it starts working forming boric oxide which sticks to the metal surface( this process itself is called matal treatment)....by this it starts removing age old carbon deposites....this works to every corner..crevices...minute openings from where its almost impossible to remove carbon deposits....so carbon debris keep on accumulating in oil....when I drained oil it was much more black...I assume it almost cleared most of carbon deposites & new seal is developed with boron particles which will never pile off until engine openeing.....

I m using castrol magnatec oil...now my earlier FE is back....almost getting 600+km on 45 kg of lpg....initially my mileage went down...but I kept running....

Enjoy....
