New Rislone Oil Additive

[addyguy]

I know BITOG'ers are generally skeptical about oil additives, but for those who are interested in seeing/discussing them, it seems Rislone has a new engine oil additive, called 'Upgrade':

For those who know how to read these, this is what it is basically made of:

Any general thoughts on this product? I don't know if it is availiable in the US, it isn't availiable through any stores in Canada right now...just by mail...no distributor...

PAO, esther and an additive package, should be interesting to put in conventional oil, in a syn. blend too.

Sounds like our SX-UP as well.

Plus we have purely organic friction modifiers and a tad of antimony(for you organo-metallic additive watchers).

If it is like SX-UP, then I'm assuming it is a 'good' product, or one that would be recommended to BITOG'ers, as one that may be beneficial....?

I didn't see moly in the list of ingredients - did I miss it, does it have moly in it?

Upgrade has been around for at least a couple years. It was discussed in this thread last year.

looks like a PAO PCMO.

Someone once quoted this as being an enema for your engine. I thought that was funny!

how much does it cost?

Seems like adding a bottle of redline to a dino fill would be similar in results...
