    Running 'Revolutionary' Oil Products (Prolong, Polytron etc.)

    How do you guys feel about putting it in the ca18det?

    If the 30min advertisements are really true, I'm sure the turbo will last a hell of a lot longer!

    It apparently also does wonders to compression.

    Bunch of shite?



    ::EDIT:: They seem to bond and absorb within the metal, allowing rigid edges to be flattened instead of broken off.

    On the Polytron ad, they drove laps in the desert an oil-sump pan and cam covers off.
    They then left it in the ocean for a while, no oil sump pan, and drove it out after the tide came in.
    Lastly, the left the car in snow over-night. They pulled the oil sump pan and cam covers off and the car ran 'perfectly'.

    The ads seem so great.. but one never knows. It's like the prolong car that ran more than 2000km without oil??
    Big contemplation and jokes about a secondary/dry-sump system.

    Doyou know Prolong has been on a 24 valve nissan motor with a massive reduction in engine wear. They will also give a lifetime engine warranty. What other oil company will give you that?
    Non corrosive
    No solid particals
    220 psi film strength ( most only reach 7000 at best)
    1 million dollars up for gabs if you find a better product

    FORGOT TO ADD
    I have driven lots of times with NO OIL to demstrate the product NO TRICKS

    Check out AACINT.com on forum (I'm Happy and conviced) they use alot of our products

    Our subaru rally car used oil at £2.49 a gallon with prolong in it we used to use mobil motorsport at nearly £50 a gallon you guys can do the maths . We will be at alot of shows this year.

    or what?
    What are the terms for the lifetime engine warranty (can I have one on mine if I put prolong in it)?

    How do you run an engine without oil? Surely the bearings immediately mash up the crank without an oil clearance and the turbo overheats?

    Don't see how it can keep the crank off the shells with no oil pressure

    I'd like to know the terms of the warranty though....

    The terms of warranty
    Less than 100,00 miles
    Less than 10 years old (Doesn't look much ask castrol for a warranty)

    How it works
    Prolong treats the metal the only affect it has on the oil is it stops it being corrosive.
    It wont run the crank because of its film strength
    If you want a sceptic i'm it i did alot of research before i got involved with Prolong

    Yes they did go to court in the USA along with several others Prolong are the only ones with a clean bill of health.What happenend to the others 22 milion dolars fine for each company.

    We had a car out on the Safari Rally blew the head gasket
    Cam wheels were blue with heat burnt all the paint off the outside of engine
    NO DAMAGE found other than head gasket on a £15,000 engine.

    So is it lifetime or 10 years? Or is it lifetime provided I start using it before it's 10 years old?

    That's a strong film. An engine turning at 4krpm puts a huge force on the crank/rods.

    Serious question: in the SR20 the oil squirters under the pistons are also used to stop them overheating, how does it overcome this?

    If you see some of the above Prolong crap etc Getting approval from people that want to condem means THEY CANT FIND ANY FAULTS
    Sitec use it on every race engine they construct.

    Shockwave funny car runs on the stuff if it was junk these people wouldn't touch it with a stick

    We can even sample your oil for you to see the difference in wear metals and corrosion.

    By reducing the friction, you reduce the wear,you reduce the heat.
    Warranty is valid on cars under 10 years old once registerd you could have it for 100 years .
    These are not new ??????s to us

    If this was the answer to the use of piston cooling jets then its not convincing

    The cooling jets are used to cool the underneath of the crown which heats up due to the compression process. Therefore friction is not an issue

    The demo of running a car with no OIL is to show people what the product can do. We dont say you dont need oil what we do say is your engine will run better, smoother,more ecconomical.
    No other product can do this with the use of solid particals (BANNED PTFE'S) or the parafins that once under pressure release hrydrocloric acids into the engine.
    If it aint no good i better tell UPS parcel service ( who save 65,000 a day),Alan Firmin,Binns,Ford,GMC group,Chinese Railway,AACI,Bob Dowen Rally Services,Dave Kedwood motorsport, David Ward motorsport to name a few that all the proven testing carried out on our products ie Sintef,MIRA,etc is wrong and we tell porkys

    Well you may be unaware of this fact but Ford make more than one engine I want to know what engines its been tested in so i know who to ask


    If we all believed manafacturers claims then we would be using Firestone tyres and have those in line magnets fitted that give 5hp and another 5mpg
