Look I think this may be snake oil toO. But the price is exspensive and makes you wonder..

Dupont came out with an PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and every one wanted to claim that it was a great additive for your oil. Well the problem is PTFE is a solid basicly a solid. They would take this in a submicron particulate and add a liquid based additive the mixture giving you an additive for oil.

The theory was that the PTFE would coat the moving parts making it friction-less. Well it also coated the non-moving parts. Well the problem with that theory is that PTFE expands when it is exposed to heat and when this so called additive expands it becomes larger. When it became larger it would clog the oil filter and also the oil passages.

So when you saw your oil pressure go up this would be the reason why. You all have heard of the additive, its called SLICK-50!!!!

The best additive out there right now that I know of is zinc dialkyldithiophosphate(sp?) Zinc in used in many high performance oils, like high climate oils, tubo oils and 4x4 oils. Any oil that is made for high performance. The zinc additve is basically the last line of defense your motor has when ever the metal to metal contact is taking place. Like when your over reving(sp?) and the your piston rings and cylinders are passing the safe operation of the oil.

Quick note:

What I meant by safe operation of the oil... Every oil has his thermal break down point. Oil comes from breaking down crude oil at a particulat temperature and done by heat steam and catalyst. This is when butance propane gas and all other fuel and fuel gases come from. Where I was going with this is when the viscosity is temporarily broken up, you release hydrocarbons and also change the safety factor of your oil.. Ever wonder why your oil was so black??

So back to the zinc, when your oil is beyond its limits this zinc additive jumps in to protect your pistons and sleeves from scaring... in short story

oh yea, too much zinc can lead to valve deposits and fouled plugs....

let me get this straight this in combination with the speed wax will net me 20mph and i'll save 35% on my fuel bill. where can i get a few 55 gallon drums.

Only if you " wax on, wax off"

Smokey Yunic had alot of great ideas some of them ended up as things that we consider everyday equipment like variable ratio power steering, others never made it to completion but the guy had alot of brilliant ideas and I think some of them are worth takeing another look at.

Comical! Has a PH level of 1.5. This will do wonders to aluminum and steel. I wouldn't put that in my tank if you paid me! There are a bunch of these schemes out there.

Here's another one, enjoy!

My faith in my fellow man is always tested when I see "snake-oil" for sale.... sheesh........

well there are 6 people going to try this from a refinery that I call on. They are going to compare fuel mileage. One they have found their results I will post them to let you know if there is am advantage or not..
