Problem with a HONDA CIVIC 1.6L 2002

HONDA CIVIC 1.6L 2002 80K

The vehicle was using oil and generally down on power with poor performance. A cylinder leakage test was carried out which showed an 11% leakage across the four cylinders.

Oil Fortifier was added to the engine oil and the vehicle left on idle for 15 minutes. A short road test was carried out. A second cylinder leakage test showed only a 2% leakage across the four cylinders. The customer reported a reduction in oil consumption and an improvement in the vehicle performance and response.
