Wynns is basically a fuel additive which may offer some benefits in terms of replacing some of the additives that are not in the cheaper grade fuels. I just bung in about 300ml of cheap 2 stroke oil with every fill-up. Cheers,

The adition of Wynns Diesel Additive is a profit making excersise. Slightly out of touch with prices but at least 100% mark up.

As 'bigalf' picked up on, it's not what 'Wynns Additive' can do for you, but the statement that

So people, those who have had a service, have your LR dealer been adding additives ![]() ![]() Wynns additives go back a long way so is/was a well known brand, it does what most diesel additives supposedly do and keeps the injectors clean, remove carbon, reduce smoke and add a little lubricity.

Sounds like the local Wynns rep has done a deal with the dealer. They used to do something called the "Service Guarantee Kit" which basically meant that Wynns products (RSL, Wynns for Oil and Fuel Treatment) got put in the car and if anything went wrong with the engine Wynns paid out. This was done automatically without asking the customer who was of course charged for it. Sounds like they are doing something similar now. You have the option of going back to them, saying you didn't ask for it and get your money back....if you really want to kick up a full you can demand that they empty the tank and re-fill it! John

Interesting that about Wynns but at my last service the dealer added a Scott's oil and fuel purge and charged me £27 for it. Is that the same thing? Ralph

Won't be going back to the dealer, it would cost more in diesel and I can't be bothered to have another bust up. They also charged me for topping up my washer bottle when I'd purposely topped it up the night before. They did sheepishly give me a bottle of LR screen wash as compensation when I questioned this on the invoice. 11 GS Bali Blue

I've been adding the 2 stroke oil at a ratio of 200:1 as mentioned in the 2SO thread. |

Finally solved the wynns additive mystery. According to the main LR dealers in Exeter it's WYNN'S DIESEL SYSTEM CLEANER. It comes in a 325ml grey plastic bottle, part no. 46754. If you buy this from the dealer it will cost you £21.60 but go to e-bay and it's available at £6.95 p+p free.
