I don't trust most oil aditives, the only one I like is a solvent
that re-softens the gasgets, and so stops leaks. You can indead
run your engin with water implace of oil. It will do quite well
out of it. It provides all you need, but it also has a problem
of making engins rust.
One of the most important jobs oil proforms, some would argue
more important than lubrication is cooling. Thats why they ran
the engin with water in it, after running with oil, it needed
somthing to cool it down.
As for the sand, I would hope my car could stand up to having
sand poured in the engin, after all thats why you buy an oil
filter for.
If you wanted to treet your car, you could spend you money, on
fancy oil, and one of those non-return oil filters. OOoo and
you can by that Magnitech??? oil, that has that type of stuff
in alread, instad of buying normal oil and adding this after
market stuff.
My cars engin was brought to an early death by a can on oil
aditive, the long chained monomer stuff. Cleaned all the carbon
off the pistons, and runied the compression.
