Does Archoil really work?
Hi there I was just cruising around YouTube and I ran across an additive called Archoil 9100 for oil and 6200 for fuel. They say it improves fuel economy , has a hard boron lubricant film that is very slippery and hard to brake. Engine runs better and stabilize fuel etc. Powestroke help.com with Billy H. Gave a challenge to try the product. So I looked up on YouTube,and people that did the challenge said it truly works. I am looking forward to use ar9100 and6200 on my 72 f250 . Has anyone used this product? Should I give it a shot?

That's great, Ted. But instead of putting those pellets in the plug holes, a guy should slip one 1/4/20 locknut in each hole, start and rev to 3000 for one minute.
That way he is sure to get new rings, pistons and valves in six weeks.

Don't even need a 1/4-20 nut. A friend of mine dropped a 10mm jam nut down the intake of his Jetta. He said it made a heck of a racket when he started it up. Called me over to have a look. It destroyed the rod bearing (discovered this post mortem) and made nice impressions in the head and piston top. Looked like a pulley key. We put it back together, but it still only lasted about three miles.

I use Sta-Bil to stabilize fuel, but that is for storage over the winter for the lawnmower & stuff. I doubt there is much you could do to improve the gas mileage in our old trucks (significant improvement I mean). I haven't heard of the Archoil with boron micro-lubricant, the additive I normally use is STP (or the parts store brand version of it) and that is just to thicken the oil so it leaks a little slower

Having just had to chip out of the 360's water jacket what looked like years of a steady diet of Stop Leak, I'm even more resolute in being anti-snake oil. Yes, I'm a hater...
