Anyone heard of/use this? Omega 690

[cwilliamsws6]

I fell down the YouTube rabbit-hole earlier and stumbled upon this video for a gear oil called Omega 690: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtZyNbiZaao

It looks like good stuff so I was curious if anyone here has heard of it or used it. Thanks!

I had to laugh at the '5 finger test'

The gears remind me of the Lucas demonstration device in the stores.

Watch the youtube but be sure to read the comments. The advertiser says this oil doesn't splash but some gear oil applications benefit from splash lubrication. I imagine this oil would cause a huge increase in fluid drag. Also, they say it is completely water resistant. Rubbish! If the man with the egg beaters shows up at your place ask him to do his test with a tablespoon of water added to his oil!

This statement tears me up:

Quote:
COMPENSATORY THERMOSTAT ACTION (CTA):
OMEGA 690 contains billions of extremely sensitive, micro thermostat - action
Megalite* polymers that compensate for the natural tendencies of an oil to thin out
or thicken when subjected to high and low temperature fluctuations,
respectively. These polymers become expanded when the oil temperature is high


Hey goofball, just call it a "Viscosity Index Improver."

HERE'S ANOTHER ONE:

Quote:
OMEGA 690 retains a
fine film on the metal surface regardless of how
thoroughly it is wiped away. This ensures that
OMEGA 690 is performing its major "stay put"
function


Just tell them that it includes a surfactant and a tackfier which is part of any gear oil additive package.
