Oil Additive

[Dagwood]

Has anyone ever heard of this site? I tried to search the forum before asking....but we all know how that goes.


web page

I was talking to a guy at work that has put it in his truck and swears that it has improved the performance.

That site doesn't even give a clue what it is supposed to be or do. No testing, no "how it works", no MSDS. I would stay far away.

It's an extreme pressure additive; isn't that like Zinc or Moly, a boundry layer lubricant?

lubecontrol has no MSDS...stay away?

I just thought it was kind of interesting. Apparently this stuff is pretty good. I am going to keep in touch with the guy at the office and see how it works out. He put it in a diesel pickup and the engine just seemed a heck of a lot smoother. I will let him be the guinea pig for awhile. His mechanic did some testing by loading up some bearings and this stuff is pretty slippery.

LC20 MSDS
FP60 MSDS
They are pretty lacking/poor, but they have one.

Just because a company posts an MSDS, doesn't mean it is a good product, or vice versa. Most quality companies have nothing to hide and post a MSDS on their website. IMHO, there simply is no reason not to, so it is a red flag to me when they don't.

You may want to contact the company for more information/testing/MSDS' and post what you find here.

I took the liberty of sending the company an email requesting MSDS.

thanks for the info... lc sure are afraid of even giving a hint of their ingridents unlike alot of companies...i just don't know but gut feeling says stay away from lubecontrol products...when you call synergyn they act the same way!!! you won't believe what i had to go through to get msds sheets from them!! and when i got them what a poor sloopy msds....

MSDS - Material Safety Data Sheet
MSDS's are intended to be "safety data sheets", they were never intended to be a guide on how to reverse engineer a product.

i understand we use that info in the lab and hosp....some companies spell out alot more without giving away their secret formulas and are prof. done..

Many of the alleged snake oils do some of the things that they claim. Some surely do all of them ..in one way or another.

They usually end up not being cost effective. You have people spending $$$ for (perhaps) nothing in perceived avoided costs. Oil Extreme was one that Terry said actually did something for about 3000 miles. He also said that @ over $30 delivered it never paid for itself
