No need to ever change your oil!

I didn't read it in detail due to my cynical nature but what they did write up was confusing and I am not sure they ever did explain WHY their oil was better and how tehy proved it. Oh well.

I have seen several engines that ran over 100,000 mile swithout an oil change. That doesn't mean it was good. My grandfather also used to sell something called a Prelin Oil refinery, essentially a bypass filter. he never changed the oil. Just topped it up. the oil was always a muddy brown color. His car seemed to run OK but don't knhow if it was good.

What with the EPA regulations etc, if Detroit could weld the hood over the engine shut, they would do it since a maintenance free engine would save them cost in many areas. So why doesn't Detroit use this stuff and call it good. Those greedy bwords, they want to charge us for oil changes, clever.

The earth is flat and I will believe in regular oil changes whether it be dino or syn.

previously i thought the "Tornado" engine enhancer was the most crazy thing on auto sites. The synlube site is so powerful the Tornado ads are now a second class tier of ripoffs and the Synlube product alone stands as King of the Ridiculous.

Heh, I needed a good laugh. I'll buy that right after I buy the Ronco Food Dehydrator, and a set of Ginsu knives. Oil doesnt get dirty, thats a good one, so where does the silicon come from in the used oil analysis? Also, why does the oil get darker over time?

It amazes me how people fall for this kind of stuff simply because they're lazy. 1 gallon for $120??? That and they say it comes black! I think I'll pass.

Oh yeah, how long is it gonna take for the filter to get clogged up and go into bypass mode? After that, any guesses on how long it takes the engine to seize?

LOL! Man, talk about junk science...sheesh! Their attempt to run a distillation by boiling some oil under a flame was pathetic!

To run an actual distillation 100 mls of sample is heated in a flask on thermostaticaly controlled test equipment. First it will record the IBP, or Initial Boiling Point of the fluid. The vaporized fluid is condensed and collected in a 100 ml graduate. As the percent volume of fluid is vaporized and condensed, the temperature of the vapor is recorded automaticaly on 0-100 graph paper. The lighter fractions vaporize first, then the temperature automaticaly increases to boil off the heavier fractions. When you're done, you end up with a curve that represent's the distillation temp required to vaporize the fluid between the IBP and the End Point. 'IBP' is not the same as 'Flash Point', that's a different test.

I really don't see how the kitchen laboratory got so much flammable gas from their condenser jar of distilled water. I would think the water would cool down the vapor below the flash point and the sample oil would condense back to fluid and fill up the water jar with oil. But who am I to argue with such genius? Maybe they've stumbled onto stovetop hydrocracking. I'll bet these guys are the one's that have developed the 100 MPG carburetor that the Government and oil companies are repressing. LOL!

An Amsoil dealer on another site posted a similar claim. He said that if you ran a dual-bypass filter that you would never have to change the oil.

As they say, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

i wonder if these guys have ever torn apart an engine that went ten years without an oil change.

I couldn't get passed the 80's porno music to read the article... but I have heard that you don't have to change it as often as they say as long as you change the filter regularlly. As for never changing the oil. I'm with you guys. Those people don't have enough sense to pour **** out of a boot.

Hey, i'll try their wonder-oil, as long as they promise me they'll buy me a brand new 04 f150 as soon as the engine siezes up and falls out of my ranger cause of their crap oil.

Good Grief,
It sounds like they found a way to rebottle all of that dirty oil that jiffy lube drains out.
