Man, I hope their chemists/engineers aren't the same people that designed their web page. That page basically screams for them not to be taken seriously.

BTW I didn't read it completely, but the "argument" or "sales pitch" isn't very well laid out/persuasive either.

 

Wow, they have some good info, but the pricing is through the roof compared to the synthetic I use. And yes, it's just as they claim. A 100% pure synthetic. $25 a gallon plus shipping. I've had race engines come back after a year of running with zero wear, but at a fraction of that cost.

With that kind of pricing, I can see why they couldn't afford a HTML guy

EDIT:
LMAO, that right there killed my order

Wow, interesting for sure.

Yea, I agree....but we all knew it was BS anyway, so it was more like killing something that's already dead..........


"In NORMAL operation in most vehicles you can safely drive for up to 15 years, 150,000 miles or 4,000 engine hours without an oil change!"

Who the hell measures in engine hours anyway...

 

Well for Tractors and Heavy Equipment for example, are measured in Hours and not mileage.

Yes, I am familiar with the fact that engines are measured in hours -- I own a boat, and I can see tractor equipment being measured in hours.... HOWEVER, I don't think it's the best wasy to measure a vehicle that can be driven at diff. RPM ranges, speeds, distances....etc. Engine hours at what RPM? IDLE? An average?

 

Yeah, we measure our trucks at hours and mileage only because they run on propane and are rarely ever shut off. That way if we have a problem that keep reappearng we can determine whether it is related to the age of the parts or the usage of parts.

Makes perfect sense - does any of it have to do with the fact that construction equipment doesn't see many miles (transported on beds, etc.)? And the fact that most of the hard labor for the engines, I'd imagine, is all the lifting/pushing/etc? I understand that for usage of parts miles may help on certain trucks, but this can't be the same for your typical "construction" machine, can it?
