Their back to back testing (Castrol's) in a test engine was M1 5W50 (yes, Castrol's testing), flushing oil, Magnatec, flushing oil, and M1 again. He stated that of course they went through the tests pretty quickly, but the UMA carried through into the flushing oil AND the book end M1 test.
Member bobbydavro has worked on both Magnatec and "Titan"...the next version of it used in Edge.
And good for cars that sit for a bit (love the cling tech for it). Buddy of mine runs it in his third car (Pontiac G5) and loves the stuff. Will be heading into my Cavalier, which runs 2-3 times a week.....
