What makes MotorSilk different from other Engine Oil Additives?
MotorSilk with Boron CLS Bond is the most scientifically advanced lubrication technology in the world. It is not an oil additive product. Oil additives are added to oil in an attempt to improve the lubrication performance of the oil itself. The Boron CLS Bond technology does not attempt to condition the oil. How Does It Work? MotorSilk is the only product in the world that will bond a permanent and self-replenishing "solid lubricant" onto any metal surface. The near diamond hard solid lubricant coating is very durable and super slippery with a friction coefficient of less that 0.01%. This is twenty five times more slippery than synthetic oil. Consequently, friction inside the engine is reduced 80% and wear is reduced 90%. This frees up horsepower, saves fuel and engines wear. Engines and transmissions treated with MotorSilk will last 2 to 3 times longer and operate like new for hundreds of thousands of miles. PTFE (Teflon) Based Oil Additives Currently the most popular and best selling oil additives on the market are those that contain Polytetrafloeraethylene (PTFE) powders suspended in a regular, over the counter type, 50-rated petroleum or synthetic engine oil. Some of the identified products containing PTFE include: Slick 50, Liquid Ring, Lubrilon, Microlon, Matrix, QMI, Petrolon and T-Plus. The independent testing conducted on the lubrication qualities of the PTFE based lubricants confirms and supports the original statement issued from DuPont Chemical Corporation, inventor of PTFE and holder of the patents and trademark for Teflon. In a statement issued about ten years ago, DuPont's Fluoropolymers Division Product Specialists, J.F. Imbalzano said, "Teflon is not useful as an ingredient in oil additives or oils used for internal combustion engines". DuPont even threatened legal action against anyone who used the name "Teflon" on any product destined for use in an internal combustion engine. And refused to sell its PTFE powders to anyone who intended to use them for such purposes. After a flurry of lawsuits from oil additive makers, claiming DuPont could not prove the PTFE was harmful to engines; DuPont was forced to once again begin selling their PTFE to additive producers. The decision against DuPont involved what is called "restraint of trade". This means that you can't refuse to sell a product to someone if they plan to use it for a purpose other than what it was intended for. For legal reasons, DuPont's official position on the use of PTFE in engine oils remains carefully aloof and noncommittal. DuPont states that though they sell PTFE to oil additive producers, they have "no proof of the validity of the oil additive makers' claims". They further state that they have "no knowledge of any advantage gained through the use of PTFE in engine oil". What About Oil Additives Like Slick 50 or Prolong? The infomercials you see would have you believe that by putting these products in your engine it will become a "super engine" of sorts. Even better that if it were running a synthetic oil. However, unfortunately for consumers, their claims have no basis in reality. In fact, here are a few links to release from the Federal Trade Commission with regard to the effectiveness of different oil additives. Each link opens a new window. When finished reading each piece, simply close the window to return to this tour. Dura Lube Super Engine Treatment Dura Lube Advanced Engine Treatment In short, the FTC releases above indicate that all of these companies have used deceptive advertising in order to mislead consumers into believing that their products offer advanced engine protection and performance over motor oil alone. The truth is that not one of these companies has been able to offer any test results which prove conclusively that any benefit is gained from their products' use. MotorSilk, on the other hand, has 2 decades of test results and testimonials proving that their oils do exactly what the company says they do. MotorSilk is 25 times slipperier than even the best synthetics. Note: To see a moving graphic illustrating how the Boron CLS Bond technology works: CLICK HERE
