I remember using DURA LUBE in an V8 in the eightys , and I noticed right away , the engine rotated faster when turning it over , making it easier to start
Ive been using motorkote since 2014 in my 94 chevy 2.2 l s10 at 460k miles ! It now has 657k miles and runs great ! I also use it in the transmission and rear axle ! also the major wear reducing ingredient aylkalized napthaline is added in some engine oils meeting ILSAC GF 6 standards
Create I've been waiting for a video on this stuff I not cheap I thought about it I do use Lq moly now my manual says Castro but I buy moly idk if is better now that I've switched I guess I will keep using it I don't know if it really is better
It seems to me playing garage mechanic chemist is in general a bad idea; however, Marvel's Mystery Oil about 200 miles before an oil change removed and has kept away certain ticking sounds in my engine. Furthermore, motor oil does not necessarily address all the problems an engine might have after many many miles and some lack of care. Consequently, additives do have their place. It would impossible to sell a motor oil that not only is for new, clean engines and also will solve certain specific problems within an engine that has many miles on it.
There’s been endless discussion about oil additives over the years. They have a strong placebo effect and there’s no way for the customer to verify any of the manufacturer’s claims. Also the car manufacturers do not specify that any exotic treatments are needed. Is it possible to prove in a lab that wear is reduced by buying and using these additives? Yes. But is it enough of a difference to justify the cost and effort? I don’t believe so. If anyone wants long engine life they should do 5k or less oil changes on time and keep up on their coolant and transmission fluid changes. I check the online forums for my brand and model to find out what things are known to fail on my engine and do the upgrades before a failure occurs.
@@Bob_Winner sort of right, but not really. If its an older high milage engine or high milage newer engine that never ran synthetic oil in its life time, then you would be correct. If you just finished a rebuild on a 1971 351 Cleveland and didn't used crap cork gaskets then run the appropriate weight synthetic oil, there will be no regrets. I speak from experience on that one. It has virtually nothing to do with the design of the engine, its about existing wear and the gaskets. Cork sucks balls with synthetic oil.
@@markpaiste like i said if oil needed something else in it they would add it to the oil, just change oil often and use a quality product and you need not ever use snake oil, other wise know as the wallet flush
@robrobster9148 if oil needed it they would add it right to the oil, just change oil more frequently that manufacturer recommends and it doesn't need additives or cleaners
dont add oil additives unless 1> you buy your oil at walmart 2> you change your oil at walmart 3> you dont change your oil, in which case you deserve a trashed engine

Two words, synthetic oil.
@@edwo6648 Yes. But not for older design of engine.

blackstone analyses your oil and will tell you what is wrong or needed if any
Plz test EZI SUPER LUBE
Where's the data?
Couldn't watch the video with all the irritating screen flashing!
Don't like the flashing its quite annoying.
dont add oil additives, if oil needed something else in it they would add it to the oil, this stuff just junks up engines, its un needed
Ya but they sure add to somebody's bottom line.
never once in 40 years have i had any of the additives i used gunk anything up in my engine..

Nonsense. It depends on the additive

BS

Supertech oil is underated and no engine should go go past 3,000 miles on an oil change. So I agree and disagree with your comment.
I can't believe that umm I can't believe that you would put that oil in a BMW or European type car I don't know
