this may sound dumb, but what ever happened to oil enpregnated with ptfe {teflon }...........bw
Snake oil, pure and simple.
Among the worst of oil additives. And none of them are good, unless you KNOW something the formulators don't.
Oil is a finely engineered balance that we ought not mess with.
We've come a long way, what Granddad needed to do is no longer valid.
That sludge in Slick 50? Particles larger than the filter will pass. So we know where it ends up, and quickly.
And mechanically or chemically, it just doesn't work that way. As others have pointed out.
If it did, you could buy teflon enhanced cooking oil and nothing would ever stick.
BTW, 5,000 miles or so for the engine, more for tranny and primary. Modern metals, machining, and oils mean we can do it w no risk.
