Way back in 1971 there was a product called EON E-11 synthetic motor oil. This stuff was way ahead of it's time! Garaunteed for 100,000 miles without change and regular filter changes at 7,000 miles. This stuff was AMAZING! The guys I worked with at the time got free samples and filled their engines with it. To the amazement of all, the idle speeds went WAY UP due to the lack of friction. Gas mileage increased significantly, if you had an older engine, all of the seals would have to be replaced cuz the synthetic was so thin it would leak out of any/all of the worn seals. If you had a new engine, you could run the thing for 40,000-50,000 miles, take off the heads and there would be NO WEAR on the internals... I mean NONE! AAMOF, the hash marks on the cylinders were still so fresh that it looked like the engine was rebuilt that same day...the internals like the valve covers and the oilpan area were absolutely spotless, not a single discolored part from sludge or any of the stuff that you would expect from an engine with 40k + on it.... and all that without any changing of oil. Just the filters were changed at regular intervals and topped off with additional synthetic..
Purdy amazing stuff... then it went away [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Maybe this is that same kinda technology.... Shucks I'd try it for free... [img]images/graemlins/RockOn.gif[/img]
I think Gryphon was going to run some, he's just got to keep his rig right side up [img]images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/beach.gif[/img]
A guy here at work runs Amsoil in his diesel, he sends a sample in evey 10,000 miles (when he changes the filter) to a lab and hes run it for 30,000 miles so far and they say it isnt even close to needing changed, my next oil change thats what I'm ussing, the proofs in the pudding
