Anyone done any testing of this stuff?
MG redline? Snake oil?

Multiple, multiple long and involved threads already existing on this abomination of a test. After eight years I'm surprised you haven't seen them.
Outcome of that "test" has no bearing on the efficacy of that product. None, zero, zip.

while you are 100 % right about the testing thing, I think the post is about a magnesium additive.
and yes, assuming you are using a good oil, not messing with the balance of your oil is a better strategy than adding [insert any element here] based additive
I haven't used the search feature. I will next time. Thanks for the reminder and answering my suspicions
is not this the company that started with magnesium dd additives? i thought this was a mg + ceramic (Hexagonal Boron Nitride) additive.
what is in it then?

Since the One Arm Bandit.has been shown to be an invalid method for any tribological measurement, whatever assumptions made about any product tested on this machine is also invalid.

I recall that chlorine bleach does well on the one armed bandit test.

It looks as if he's playing with the MG Red Line oil additive:

This company is in Poland and is not associated with Red Line Oil of the US.
"
Revolutionary lubrication technology utilizing surface ionisation and polarisation mechanisms to create ultra-thin protective coatings that fundamentally transform mechanical system performance."
Undoubtedly written by a non-tribology person in a marketing firm.

Thanks to super special swedish formula it now extends turbocharger life under load.....
So the answer is that yes, it’s snake oil. Bandit test notwithstanding.
Came through on my FB, searched and got this thread.
In March 2026, was rebranded to MG Redshift.
How about real snake oil, oil of a snake?
