Motor Silk (boric acid engine coat)

[lexrx3]

Forgive me if this has been beaten to death but my search didn't turn up anything. Has anyone had any experience with "Motor Silk"? I believe its an engine treatment that coats the cylinder walls with a boric acid treatment of some type. Supposedly lowers engine wear, less friction, better gas mileage and used more by the trucking industry. I'm curious if it works.

just put +motor +silk in the search window and you'll have plenty of reading.

Thanks for the response but when I followed your advice all that appeared was my request and your response. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Never mind, I see my problem. Thanks anyway.

+boric and +boron (separate searches) will grab you a few things too in Fuels/Fuel & Oil Additives. This is still the only used oil analysis I could find where someone documented use of it.
