XenTx

[daemonite]

I bought a bottle of XenTx because it was on sale, I still can't find any evidence here weither it's good or bad...

I bought it for $5 on sale at pepboys by the way, it's most likely going to go into our 1994 Camry 4cyl with 178k miles.

And theres apparently a 3 dollar rebate also!

Any opinions?

Do a search.
Some like it, some don't.

Since you bought it pretty cheap, you can give us your opinion after a few thousand miles. Love to know if YOUR engine feels better, gets better MPG, sounds differents, whatever.....nothing.....

Do a search. Xentec has been discussed many times.

i'm using it in my hyundai accent 113,000 miles with trop artic 10w30.can't tell any diffrence.been in about 1,000 miles.
the guy "the xenten guy" was a member long enough to push his product,and as far as i know he has posted anything sense.

That is correct. Initially he came on strong and tried to dazzle us with his knowledge of physics, but failed to answere some of the more basic questions that had been raised. His theory was trust me, you will like it.

Well I did a 250 mile drive last night, and saw minor MPG increase but I attribute that to the cold weather, and freeway miles (250 miles of just freeway). Which is different to my normal 250 miles of city and highway, anyway going to keep logging my MPG.


I always use the same gas station, tires are always 32 front, 31 back, and lets see if this stuff works.

my hyundai did have a ticking noise at start up for a few seconds when it was cold.this morning when i got off work it was probly 20 degrees no ticking. i don't know if the xenten,the wix filter or the trop artic.it still knocked after i changed the oil as usual but it's gotten quiter after 1,000 miles.

XenTx is constantly undergoing independent tests and has had great results at improving performance, reducing fuel burn, prolonging equipment life.

On a recent CAT dyno tests (3 so far) in a 3508 935 hp engine the standard CAT test protocols showed an increase in RPM of 20 -24, and a decrease in fuel burn from 48 GPH to 45-46 GPH depending on which engine. Reductions of HP at the same load factor of approximately 7% were also noted.

These engines were tested prior to rebuild and post rebuild (brand new complete top and bottom).

The XenTx Team is now in it's 6th month of a double-blind study of Phoenix area motorists (free to all participants) chassis dyno's before and after for a year at OEM recommended oil change-out intervals.

XenTx beat all other competitors with a major shipping company and is now being bid to cover all the Northeastern Operations of this shipping giant. The reason they chose XenTx was simply extended changeout intervals based upon comprehensive oil analysis. Improved by at least 25%.

XenTx Extreme Fuel Conditioner, Extreme Lubricating Spray, and Extreme Transmission Additive will be on the shelves soon at your local or national retailer.

Here's to improved efficiency through science.

Uh oh, another hit-and-run advertising tactic?

Still no physical support, no chemical support, or no tribological support for all of those prior claims.

[daemonite]

it is kind of fishy that he never really goes in depth about his product.

And did these COMPREHENSIVE analyses include percentages or detection of chlorinated (corrosion) by-products.

Another fine Dover customer.

Does the XenTx Guy know about this forum stipulation?

"You agree that, except with Bobistheoilguy.com’s prior consent, you will not solicit or promote any products services or sites, nor self-promote (either in your Postings or in your profiles) for personal or business gain within the message board."

If not, maybe someone should tell him.

Had Xentxguy told me the inside information on the testing and on the upcoming products and I repeated it here in this forum would there have been anything wrong with that? Much like when someone posts on upcoming info on Mobil 1 diesel truck oil replacing sport utility oil.

As for the comments about the products negative effects on oil or engines, well there are none. Well, if you call the fact that its effects do not last forever with one treatment then yes that could be considered negative to someone who is unrealistic.

A very small stable molecule that causes no ill effects is just that. plain and simple.

All the testing data that I have personally seen shows 7% to be the magic number with regard to increase in torque and horsepower. There were some exceptions with a high of 9% and a low below 7% but the majority hovered around 7%.
