I personally will not put any additives in my oil. I paid $27K for this car. Why risk putting something into my oil that's akin to putting strange vitamins into my own body. I won't do that either.

I have the patent number at home and if I remember, I'll post them. But I called Prolong for the patent number and read it, Chlorine molecules in a buffered solution. The problem is if the buffer wears out, the chlorine will pit the inside of your engine. <p>All the other crap like Motor Up, Slick 50 and crap like that are about the same. Don't trust them.<ul><li><a href="http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/2195/snakeoil.html">Engine Snake Oils</a></li></ul>
