Snake oil engine additves.

Post by TigerRaptor »

Every time I see these oil additive test. I'm like what kind new B.S are these Flim Flams advertizing now.

I do get a kick out of these videos.

Jump to 4:39 and Head and Shoulder Shampoo passes the same test.

To be far not all oil additives are B.S. Products like Restore, Bar's Leaks whatever repair do work to a point. But only should be used as a temporary fix depending on the problem.

Then you got other oil additives like Motorkote, zMax, Slick50, so on making absurd claims. You're motor oil can't do this or it will improve on that, what a joke. Truth is most motor oils today don't help.

Nope. Use K-Y Jelly instead.
