Complete Engine and Gearbox Maintenance with Additives

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Checks and maintenance

The video shows a preliminary bench test to measure power and torque before maintenance; it also measures cylinder compression: the aim is to demonstrate how the use of certain additives can improve engine performance by restoring its proper functionality.
Before draining the engine oil, add the internal cleaning additive and run the engine for a while; drain the engine oil and replace the oil filter cartridge. Add anti-friction additive to the gearbox. Add engine oil additive and then oil to the engine, checking the level. After maintenance, you will notice an improvement in cylinder compression as well as an increase in power and torque.
