[snakeoil forums] Ceramic oil additives

Recommended Posts

Hey,

 

Anyone used something along the lines of this? I'm skeptical but intrigued:

 

http://www.nanoenergizer.com/

 

But who knows with this sort of thing.

 

Seems that there are plenty of testimonials from university studies etc with back to back comparisons and what not:

Anyone had a hoon on something like this?

 

Seems potentially handy for old motors if it could help with bore wear or whatever.

 

(or it could be snake oil, or it could clog your oil filter, or be abrasive to bearings, or blah blah... dunno!)

Fuck I love this page:

Fuel savings up to 8-21 %(up to 40% in idle mode)

5 times lowered noise and vibration levels

Restores friction surfaces and protects against wear

100 times reduction of the friction coefficient

Increased oil pressure & great combustibility

Brings engine power up to 100%

3-9 times reduction in CO and CH in the exhaust

'dem claims tho!

Half the testimonials are strangely formatted and just odd enough to make you question them.

Yeah seems remarkably similar to other bogus products claims.

However for lols, scroll down to the one called:

 

"Savings of 20.76% fuel costs - spreadsheet" the headers are a laugh.

Also I remember seeing an article about dyno testing ceramic coated piston tops, bores, valves, etc etc.

 

Conclusion (on the dyno) was that it acheived fark all for lots of money.

But, some cars like new GTR etc plasma coat the bores or whatever for whatever reason.

 

I guess it's hard to tell the wheat from the chaff with these sorts of things.

 

But then there's stuff like that water repellent spray that's god damn amazing. Bah! stupid technology.
