Anti Wear 1, More snake oil?

[VaderSS]

Had someone at the Impala board ask me about this one. My thought is snake oil, but I figured I give it a fair trial before hanging.

I see no references to any technical papers, so I am very dubious. Just blah, blah blah.

So is it chlorine based, overbased calcium, Boron Based, WHAT?

I wouldn't use it unless they wanted me to test it and then I would ask them to provide
me with the specs and components.

How old is their web site. It does comparisons with Arco Graphite.. That has not been around for 20 years.

I am always leary of a product that says to change your oil and filter according to manufacturer specs. To me that means your product is Snake OIL as any engine can go 100,000-200,000 miles if you change your oil as often as the manufacturer suggests. You will never know if it worked under this philosophy.

Further, in new engines it prevents wear so an engine with 100,000 miles only shows 10,000 miles of wear. But, it can also rebuild older engines. SO, logically, there should be no wear if it can rebuild, the engine should always be at the NEW specs. Am I missing something?

Oh, a few comments on the marketing angle.
