The Automotive Version of the ‘Ole Snake Oil’?
What is the Engine Oil Controversy?
The question is simple:
Do any of the various engine oil additives really work or are they a modern automotive version of the ‘ole Snake Oil’?
When a product is introduced into the market that is equally appealing to the everyday motorists, racers, industrialists, AND environmentalists...
...it's worth a closer look, wouldn’t you think? But, before we can do that, we need to address some of the standard, more familiar engine oil additives that either are, or have been, on the market and relate what went wrong with them.Read More…
In this economy, consumers NEED help with “automotive stress”
If you search the Internet, you will find many sites strongly advising you never to use any of the standard engine oil additives. Why is this such a difficult issue? The answer is simple enough. Poor science gets out ahead of sound thinking, especially since there is a crying NEED for a good engine oil additive.
Given the gas prices we face and the ongoing necessity to make our cars and trucks LAST long and endure for years, consumers need help in making “automotive stress” (the following problems) “go away”. This help is forthcoming with the introduction of Enginall which will let you ecperience:
- Increased fuel economy and less wear.Friction in the engine cuts back on fuel economy and promotes engine component wear. If the friction can be handled, mileage per gallon will increase, ceteris paribus (Latin for “All other factors remaining constant”
- Lower engine temperature. If friction inside an engine is significantly decreased, then the engine temperature should also be significantly decreased, as friction is the major cause of higher engine temperatures.
- Less Wear. If the friction and heat both drop off, engine wear should also decrease off markedly. In other words, your engine should last you well beyond the averages found today, or roughly about 200,000 miles.
- Having no compatibility problems with the motor oil being used. Such an engine oil additive should be usable in all synthetic and regular engine oils.
- Have complete freedom from excessive wear, even at start-up. With use, Enginall, which acts much like lead but is non-toxic, will actually adhere to cylinder walls, where it forms a microscopic lubricating layer, preventing “Dry Start up”, which is the time when most engine wear occurs.

Is there relief for consumers NOW?

"Engine oil additives: Molybdenum and Chlorinated Paraffins"

True. Molybdenum (a.k.a. moly) and Chlorinated paraffins have had some success as an engine oil additive.
Look at the picture (click for larger view) for the "Moly" solids in the oil pan of this engine. These solids can later fail to reduce failure and begin Creating a scouring of the engine metal surfaces.

Molybdenum engine oil additives claim to maintain or improve the antiwear/antifriction properties of engine oil, which in effect, they may. The problem is that they are solids and may create clogged bypass filters, blocked oil galleries, thereby reducing lubrication and causing added engine surface wear. There has also been some speculation that molybdenum may become classified as “environmentally unfriendly”.
Chlorinated paraffins also have been widely used to increase engine performance. With this technology, there are severe drawbacks. With intense heating, as is found in an automotive internal combustion engine, the chlorinated paraffins release hydrochloric gas and also cause the production of hydrochloric acid. These acids are extremely corrosive and will cause deterioration of metal surfaces, especially soft metal surfaces made of aluminum. Read more
The long-standing approach of "anti-friction" oil additives is that the additive is designed to reduce friction and therefore heat buildup inside the engine. If this does occur, gas mileage should increase over time and engine wear should decrease substantially.
The problem with oil additives to this point in the automotive industry, has been the fact that different substances (molybdenum, chlorinated paraffins, PTFE, zinc compounds... and others) have been carried by the oil... but they DO NOT permanently adhere to the internal metal stress points of the engine. So, instead of "building up" a protective anti-friction surface over the metal parts, these components slide down into the oil pan when the oil cools, with the motor oil that carried them. THey can later "sludge" ... or "fry" being destroyed by the heat buildup they were supposed to reduce.
What is "Miracle Zinc?"
Zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (“zinc”) was originally touted as the “miracle” engine oil additive which would replace PTFE. As a result, as an engine oil additive it has been used in many standard additive packages.Read more…
Some of the same additives used by oil manufacturers
The oil that comes from the major oil companies servicing the automotive, truck and bike industries already come “loaded” with an extensive amount of engine oil additives. They are made to work in combinations, synergistically. Adding more can upset a delicate balance in the chemistry. In other words, adding more of the same additive will not bring added benefit.Read more…
Polytetrafluoroethylene: That's "PTFE" for short
Polytetrafluoroethylene, better known as TeflonTM, has been available in automotive engine oil additives for several decades. Though still popular, it got off to a rough start in its early career as an engine oil additive. The problem was the inventor of Teflon, DuPont Chemical Corporation, issued the famous statement which read: “Teflon is not useful as an ingredient in oil additives or oils used for internal combustion engines.”Read More…
Solvent and detergent engine oil additives: Outmoded?
Engine oil additives designed to dissolve sludge and carbon deposits inside your engine use solvents and detergents (mostly). They are usually naphthalene, xylene, acetone, isopropanol or kerosene (all hazardous substances) in a standard mineral oil base. Read more…
No need for these approaches...
None of these problems or dangers are even necessary. There is a much better solution to the engine oil additives issue.

The passenger car formula of EnginALL was put up against a premium racing car formula used by many of the top racing teams in the country.
  
Remember, this is EnginALL’s proprietary passenger car formula, pitted against a popular, premium racing oil blend formula used every season in the racing industry by hundreds of drivers.
Two brand new engines:
Engine A with the EnginALL blend in it
vs.
Engine B with Premium racing formula blend
Both engines were brand new. Both were put to exactly the same engine stress tests at the same time and to the same degree equally. The engines were then broken down and compared part by part… (All of this was done by independent authorities, of course.).
You be the “judge”.
