I felt the car smoother when down to half a tank with it in, going to let it go right down before I fill up, that way it gets a chance to work. let us know how yours is later john

will do James put mine in this morning and filled up so it will be a few weeks before tank runs down will post my thoughts on oxicat then.

Question for Bluechem.
I bought a bottle of Oxicat a few days ago and it arrived yesterday. Although I have a petrol not diesel motor I have been advised by a very knowledgeable forum member that the catalytic converters on the XFR motor often start to clog up near the 60,000 mile mark. Mine has done only 40,000 miles, but I think preventative maintenance is better than waiting for the problem to arise. Thing is, I put a bottle of BG44K in with the fuel only a few days ago, and I still have over half of that tankful of fuel in the car. BG44K is highly recommended and used by Jag mechanics to clean out the intake side of the fuel system, whereas the Oxicat cleans out the exhaust side of things.
So my question is, could the Oxicat interfere with the BG44K or vice versa, and I should wait until I next need to fill up before I add the Oxicat, or is it OK to add it now?

hi guys, john yes it will take a week or so. ozjagXFS if it was me mate I would wait toyur tank is empty then bung in the oxicat and fill up. mines only about 44,000 mark no visiable smoke etc but the car runs smoother I can tel you that. like you all I want to do is keep the car in good condition so if be adding a can 3-4 times a year and it cleans it out then s be it, but Richard (bluechem) knows his product and iwas impressed

 

[Bluechem]

Sorry, I'm a few days late. I know 44K as a product. It is in the quality treatment bracket for me. But, it is a non combustible product, or a partly non combustible product. That means, that it claims to clean after the burn. I use our petrol injector cleaner with Oxi, as it is a fully combustible product and won't affect the Oxi at all. So, best advice is to use them on separate tank fills. Very good practice to run the Oxi through to keep your cat clean, absolutely agree with you.

I stuck a bottle in my Mondeo 1.8 TDi 2010 46,000 miles last week as it was running like a pig. All stutters and judders.

Within 20 miles I could tell the difference. No more stuttering.

I`m waiting on another can for the Jag arriving just to give it a treat.

@Bluechem Where`s your place about? I`m working in Renfrew these days and may come and see you for more if the price is right

 

[Bluechem]

Guys, it is great feedback from end users I am getting here and I appreciate it. Most of what I get back is from garages ( who are generally very happy with it ). Thank you for all comments. Any questions, I will answer and make sure that I check the thread more often!

Thanks for the feedback Broad. Yes, the diesel turbo area and EGR valve all get problems on the Mondeo, even with low mileage. Clear them of loose carbon and you should not see a big problem in the future, that's the best benefit. Generally I sell to the Trade Only Broad, so I work from Norfolk and spin around in a van, or fly off to Ireland, Scotland etc. I am happy to send out to forum members to help them get the product, but I do it for little profit!! If you want a trade quantity ( boxed 24 ), let me know. I have a couple of Agents near to you.

Looking on the bay of e I see there are 2 can sizes - 250ml and 375 ml. Which is most suitable for an XF 3.0D?

That is a good question Yorkie. There is actually three sizes.We market Autoprofi, as our cheapest option to the trade,plain bottles tight quantity fills, 250ml. Powermaxx which is what I generally sell 300ml. And Protec,375ml. Actually, Oxi will do its job with any of the sizes, of course a really dirty exhaust can benefit from more. Used as a preventative in a Jaguar, it should not matter.

I was thinking about giving oxicat I try had a look on line there seems to be lots of different coloured tins is it all the same in side the tins or do you need to make sure you buy the right one for your engine?

 

[jaguarjohn 01443]

Hi bluechem I have just started to use oxicat .as I have not long bought my xf with 70000 miles on it when bought can you explain again please for us members. Will oxicat clean out what is already there in exhaust turbo egr etc . Because as I see it it will be burnt of along with the diesel in the tank as you say it's good preventative. Will it break down any carbon already in the egr manifold etc my car is running spot on and only bp ultimate and millers and now oxicat feeds her thanks John.

Ditto.

Or perhaps bluechem could offer advice as where to buy.

 

[Monty0137]

Just ordered 3 bottles of the stuff will be running to the south of France at the week end should clean out the pipes . Will post on my return to see if theirs any improvement on MPG .

I should have added it was the Oxicat stuff I used.

@Bluechem. Can you give a price for a trade box of 24 as you mentioned earlier please?

 

[Guest]

I have also noticed that the slight "turbo" lag has now gone the car drives so much better and smooth, my tank is almost empty so will be filling it up with bp or shell v max thanks again Richard (bluechem) that oxicat is great

yorkie the cans I got were 300ml, just add to half or less tankfull then top up with fuel, its good gear this mate my car drives like new, buy the time you have used about just less than half a tank you will feel the car better

 

[jaguarjohn 01443]

Monty 0137 please do report what your thoughts are that's a good run out to test oxicat.

 

[Bluechem]

Ok. The brands that we market to get original product are Autoprofi, Powermaxx or Protec. Understand that you get information not generally available to the public as I usually only serve the Trade. I may put Autoprofi into a factor and Powermaxx into a garage etc, it is all marketing. Any of those brands will be genuine product and the tins are marked with the brand name.

It will clean the entire exhaust system which keeps carbon deposits down. Almost all problems associated with EGR valves, diesel turbo's and DPF systems are due to, or started by a build up of carbon. We have before, not serviced this area of the vehicle, because in the early days it was overlooked and we rely on the vehicle running without problems. But, due to a need, products have now been designed to work as an Oxide, after the burn process,what we call post combustion. It sounds like you look after your car well, so the effects of Oxi will not be as pronounced. If you have no post combustion carbon build up it will do nothing at all! Doing nothing will give you peace of mind that you are doing your best to look after things.
