Grease Lightning Engine Treatment

[klingon20]

Saw a guy at Big Lots grab all they had of this stuff about 6 quarts, i told him i dont think that stuff works, his reply somewhat puzzeled me.
He said he knows it snake oil but he has over 400,000 miles on a Toyota Corrola that he has been using this product every 30-50 thousand miles and he sticking with what works.
Says he's using it in all his vehicles and wont stop until he cant find anymore to buy.

Go figure.............

The engine probably would have lasted without the snake oil.

That is so 90s, people pouring Engine Treatment into the engine. He should have saved his money and bought a good synthetic motor oil.

Engine treatments have been used since the stone age" almost".

I thought the prevailing opinion was that PFTE was bad for your engine.
Is this stuff still put in engine treatments?

Ok, how about real world proof? Greased lightning is not "snake oil"! It is beyond anything I've ever used to save an engine that was ready for the graveyard. I had a 1981 VW diesel, over 300,000 miles. It was time to dump it, for it was pumping oil into the air filter, and not one product could save it. With a 23.5 to 1 compression ratio, it would take a miracle to stop the oil burning, pumping, and lack of power. A $4400 engine was out of the question. One fine day, after trying all products available to me, I stumbled on Greased Lightning. That same night, it was running as fast and smooth as when new!! 200,000 miles later, it hit the half million mile mark, still running so nice that I could stand behind it and not gasp from diesel exhaust! I don't need it in my new Toyota yet, but my 17 year old lawn mower is another that was saved by this incredible product! Don't believe me and it's your loss! -RDP

What category of additive is Greased Lightning? Is it a PTFE?

Yes it is.

Hmm.. I thought PTFE had died out in popularity.

The hip-cool thing is Nano-Lubricating-Particles from the Planet Zorlax9. Just add to Gas and Oil for an instant performance increase.
