It's all about the $$$hbn??? has its good and bad in an oil. I wonder if it is similar to the other companies selling these addiives.... Liquimoly, Rislone, Archoil, Wagner, Motorsilk... and God only knows how many others...
Funny that after the Dupont Teflon/PTFE complaints, they sold a Dupont Teflon oil additive. I guess those at Dupont were pissed that Slick50, Tufoil,..... were making a ton of money and didn't want the "teflon" name on their bottles. Yes, Dupont sold a motor oil additive with teflon, akin to all the snake oils that they were slandering.
OMG I remember that crap! I actually ordered that from JC Whitney waaayyyyy back in the day as a teenager with my 1st car which had a worn motor. I tried it pellets and all LOL to no avail.Another useless white graphite concoction. If someone is going to use snake oil then why go with fakes get the real deal. It is not better or worse than this crap or LM. LOL

If I dig hard enough I might be able to find it in a Hot Rod magazine from the late 1960's. IIRC it might be in there too. LOLOh yeah Frank it was for many years, that has to be one of the originals.
What was the product that DuPont sold directly for this use? Assuming that is correct then the reason they stopped was they too realized there was no place for this substance in motor oil.hbn??? has its good and bad in an oil.

This sub-forum....Seriously....
Why do we have a oil additive section??
It always seems like any product is instantly and always and completely trashed.
Maybe we should call this section...
"The trash section". or
"The money burning section" or
"The morons wasting money section" or
"The garbage corporation section" or
"The snake in a can section" or
"The low IQ additive users section"
I believe some additives can work in certain cases.
And most are hot garbage... Though not all are that.
Why would you intentionally so thoroughly wreck a fully-formulated motor oil like that?Got a can of it a couple days ago nearly free and poured it in my CR-V, because I didn't want to open a new quart of oil just to use 10oz of it. So this went in as top off. Just now remembered that I added it, looks just like normal motor oil. No butt dyno improvements made in these couple days, or I wouldn't have forgotten about adding it. So now my crankcase has STP 15W40, a can of Rislone Zinc supplement, and a can of STP Ceramic additive. Weird brew, but I found a brand new oil analysis kit in my garage, that I lost years ago, so it may be entertaining to see what this witch brew looks like in a UOA.
Just used it as a top-up without giving too much thought. On average an oz of oil additive is more concentrated than an oz of oil alone, or so it seems, so I guess it could be considered an additive boost. Now which additives and how compatible they are with STP 15w40? That I do not know...Why would you intentionally so thoroughly wreck a fully-formulated motor oil like that?
Any one of them works well as a sub section for the basic snake oils.Maybe we should call this section...
"The trash section". or
"The money burning section" or
"The morons wasting money section" or
"The garbage corporation section" or
"The snake in a can section" or
"The low IQ additive users section"
