After reading the link, I guess I am not all that enthusiastic about it. I think I will wait it out for a while. It somehow reminds of of Teflon in oil.

I agree, there are many wonder additives that are supposed to work but in the end don't. A good quality oil is sufficient but if you must, use a proven additive that you will find identified in many posts within this site.

I get your point about the teflon, but I don't think teflon is listed on the periodic table where zinc, phosphorus and titanium are. Maybe with more testing it will prove as reliable or more so than ZDDP additives and easier on catalytic converters.

Sounds interesting at least, maybe with enough testing and chemistry it will work who knows.

I like your sig btw...:D
