Bill..... do you really think that a  company that sells car parts for
dinosaur piston engines is going to either want or support any additive in
the oil that icreases the longevity of these parts   .....in a cold day in
hell. I once talked to a mechanical engineer who worked for an oil company
(name deleted). I asked why the rotary had not caught on more... his answer
was classic......."well these companies are in the business of selling parts
and the rotary doesn't waste enough parts"   No one who makes and sells
replacement parts is going to tell you of a way or substance to increase the
longevity of those parts except for token B.S.  I remember when multigrade
oil came out... There was so much negative talk about it you could cut it
with a knife.    Now we can't do without it.  The real test of the additive
is not what we say but in the engine teardown and in measuring the wear
surfaces. If you can tell me the wear rate of the non-microloned engine is
exactly the same as one treated, then I will believe what you say. BTW in my
first toyota  van tha went 215,000 miles before I sold it, I stopped changing
the oil at 150,000 miles, prior to that it was lucky to see fresh oil every
10,000 miles.  Those are true numbers.....yes I know I'm going to hear a
whole lot of noise for admitting to it but I had to make a point.   JIM DANA

As I said Jim it is impossible to prove this one way or another with
out very expensive, highly controlled experiments in a very good laboratory.
You must be willing to destroy several engines in long term testing.
3000 hours is 125 days at 24 hours a day on the dyno. Even that in no way
simulates 15 years service and 200,000 car miles. Too many variables.
Buying this stuff is a matter of faith. The guys selling it can make any
claims they feel like and nobody can prove them wrong.
