Well I have had a lot of people ask me about oil additives and I didn’t really know any information so I did a lot of homework and found out that a lot of test have been done using various types of oil additives but the only people that were doing the test were the people affiliated with the products being tested so I don’t think you will find bad results from them
I found out that the federal trade commission {who are responsible for false advertisements like claiming that a product can do something it can’t} took action against the manufacturers of two popular oil additives companies that contain Teflon particles who claim the Teflon in these products coated all moving parts inside the engine, and the coating resulting in reduced wear and better gas mileage, guess who won?
DUPONT who has many brand names one being Teflon, But DUPONT could not support any of the claims made by the oil additives companies they also go to say that adding Teflon particles like in the oil additives could be detrimental to the engine.
Teflon manufactured by Dupont is used in a lot of applications some are non-sticking cookware, composites of aircraft engine hoses and in fiber form to weave into fire resistant clothing.
Teflon is a very stable plastic material. It’s inert to all solvents and chemicals except molten alkali metals and high temperature fluorine gas. It is capable of withstanding continuous exposure to temperatures of zero to where it begins to de-polymerize at or above 1,100 degrees f. also being non-flammable.
The problem with the Teflon not that it wouldn’t bond with the metals of your engine is that it also bonds with it self thus causing blockage of oil pumps ports and oil filters also thus causing more problems than its worth.
Other additives in the oil additives are zinc-d and it does reduce friction and some of the heat of your engine but it also bypasses and goes out your exhaust and is a big problem with your catalytic converters clogging them in a short time. Also large amounts of chlorine, what the chlorine does are still a mystery. What chlorine does to almost all metals is speed up the oxidation process causing corrosion.
Test performed by NASA’s research company the Lewis research company found no benefits to add the oil additives containing Teflon or PTFE showing no benefits to the bearings, pistons or crank but it did show that it did accumulate in inlets, blocking the flow of oil and depriving parts of oil. Also after the oil additives were added the iron contamination doubles.
Also a lot of manufacturing companies will void your factory warranty if the use of oil additives containing Teflon also known as PTFE is found in the product.
Also something else the only people recommending the use of oil additives are the manufactures of the products. Furthermore oil already has it own additives one being a detergents and solvents that also clean as well as lubricates.
Well I hope this helps some of you out I wish I would have known this three months ago 300 hundred miles after I added z-max I lost three out of six cylinders in my ride in addition I have 250 pages of more proof of why its not a oil additives are not the way.
I would like to thank NASA’s research company the Lewis Research Company and LARRY BELL for tech supports
