Interesting Oil Article

Based on what I read, I believe this "article" is an advertisement for his "Oil Extreme Concentrate."

And, here we are: http://www.oilextreme.com/oil1.html

I'll stick to what my AMC engine builder told me about the need for zinc.

Sounds like he's the patent holder for "Extreme Oil Additive"

Sounds kinda  like slick 50. Have had nothing but good thinks happen with it in my engines. My youngest son run my 88 Dakota out of water (block heater rusted out) he ran it until it went tight. Went out the next day and it fired right up and I drove it home over a mile with no water. Put new frost plug in filled it back up with water and drove it for another 90,000 kms never burned oil or lost oil pressure. My 03 GMC pickup cracked a head at about 280,000 kms drove it until it spun a rod bearing at 398,000 kms. Started knocking one day oil pressure dropped in half and then the noise went away and the oil pressure went back up almost to where it was. Parked it didn't think it was much longer for this world . So you never know maybe there is something to this additive  

ProLong is a chlorinated lubricant. They have detrimental effects also, but the chlorine does work in scuff tests,

     The guy from the article is also correct about the oil forming the hydraulic wedge. But wrong about the wear. The wear happens when the parts are in contact during start and shutdown and when the clearances are too large or the wedge breaks down.

Valvoline was in the top of the list many times
