The motoring public in this country, (don't know about Europe) is obsessed with pour it in quick fizes. Sometimes they help but when they do the science is obvious (the old STP thick goop cutting down oil burning by making your oil a 60 weight). The miracle stuff usually isn't. Oh, I forgot "Motor Honey" and such STP clones.

Europeans (well Germans are all i can really comment on) don't really go much for this additive business. Sure they will look for something to correct a issue like a small oil weep or dirty injector but in general no.
Here in the US the additive shelves take up huge real estate in the stores and are loaded with all sorts of snake oil. Its terrible what they try and foist on people but its a multi billion dollar a year business.
I do use some products that have proven themselves over a long time but only to try correcting something or a hail Mary pass.
If my regular engine oil isn't good enough to protect the engine then i need a different/better oil not some snake oil in it.

We do know when claims like this are made it sends the old B.S. meter off the scale.

EverRev will change the molecules of your engines ferrous based metals several microns deep, leaving the metal much smoother and much harder.
EverRev - treats the metal not the oil so the protection benefits will remain even at times when no oil is present! This includes harmful everyday cold starts.

with a claim like this "Reduces friction up to 50%",
i would expect at least a 5% increase in mpg, perhaps you could try this in your automobile and report back your results.

If it could do that it would change the world. This is enough to say its "snake oil"

if it does that I want some of it! heck i'll buy stock in the company!
does anyone have some guesses on what it might be? (a mix of highly refined oils?) Here is a snippet from the web site:
"EverRev - is a proprietary blend of several chemicals.These chemicals come from all different parts of the country. They are then mixed together under extreme heat at our plant. Some of these chemicals are only available to EverRev, Inc. exclusively. Over the years there have been many imitations of our formula but without our exclusive key ingredients never duplicated!"
and a link to the page where I got it from:
http://www.everrev.com/info.html
I'm not knowledgeable enough in this field to be able to read into the clues on the information provided.
thanks for sharing your knowledge or thoughts, so that i may learn.

Hiding behind the 'proprietary' claim is the same as lying to you. If XOM, Sopus, or another big mfg wanted to, they could reverse-engineer and dissect this snake oil in a few hours. The only reason to hide the list of ingredients is to deny the potential customer any useful information.
Why would you consider buying something you know nothing about?
