Never heard of it, but curious about it. Always interested in learning. What is their website's address?

I looked at their website and they claim that their oil is far superior to current conventional and synthetic motor oils. I think that I would wait and see which auto manufacturer switches to this as a factory fill before I would try it in my engine. If it's as claimed and biodegradable I would think that a manufacturer would jump at this opportunity to be the first to offer it.

Good point. I wouldn't want to try anything unless a manufacturer uses or endorses the product. Give it time. Sure one of them will if it lives up to the claims mentioned on their website.

""They say it is degradable in 28 days"'

ester based BUT ZDDP and the other metal do not degrade so still as toxic as regular oil IMHO
