Frequently Asked Questions

What engine oil or fuel additives should I use and why?

Herguth - Frequently Asked Questions
Modern engine oils and fuels are carefully formulated to offer the best possible performance over a wide range of operating condition. There are occasions where an additive not contained in the oil or fuel will improve performance in one respect or another. However, there are also additives that will cause harm to the system. If aftermarket additives are used they should be thoroughly tested and offer more proof of performance than simple testimonial letters or anecdotal evidence.

Oils of Aloha: Kukui and Macadamia Nut Oils
None. We don’t use other additives like BHA, BHT ,TBHQ, etc. The oil is a pure product expeller pressed from the kukui nut. Oils of Aloha Kukui Nut Oil is expeller pressed. We use no solvents of any kind in the production of the oil. Kukui nuts are fed into a screw press and the oil is literally squeezed out. This process generates a minimum of heat and that helps to protect the oil. After expelling the oil goes through a filter press to remove particulate matter. See similar questions...

This cleaning effect is dependent upon the blend concentration of biodiesel. See similar questions...
