Question 1

can this be used in new cars

Accepted Answer

Dont use on brand new cars....i would wait till after 2nd oil change

Question 2

Is this safe for Automatic transmissions or only Manuals?

Accepted Answer

From the Tufoil web site FAQ:"Should I use Tufoil in my transmission?Tufoil is too slippery to use in automatic transmissions. The oils in them need to be a bit grabby or the clutches won't work properly. In manual transmissions, about one part Tufoil in ten parts high-grade transmission oil will make them run cooler and shift smoother."J.S.  (member of the Tufoil 250,000 mile club)

Question 3

Is this an oil additive, and if so, is an oil change required after application?

Accepted Answer

It's an additive (or enhancer) and should be added at a rate of one ounce of Tufoil per quart of oil at each oil change, after an initial treatment of two ounces per quart (one 8-oz bottle for a normal crankcase the first time you use it).

Question 4

How much do you use per 5quarts of oil?

Accepted Answer

Per Tufoil site: We recommend 8 ounces of Tufoil as an initial treatment when you change your oil. (This would be for the standard 4-5 quart crankcase…less for smaller engines.) After this initial treatment, just 4-ounces of Tufoil added to the crankcase at each oil change is sufficient. The basic guideline would be 2 ounces for each quart as an initial treatment and 1 ounce per quart at each oil change after that.
IF THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE I was advised by developer to allow for 8-10,000 miles of break-in before treating. You can call them with any questions and they are really great! https://www.fluoramics.com/tufoil/tufoil-for-engines/
