I have some concerns. Never heard of the company. That's a concern because this is my business and it has been for over 20 years. They are in Oxford CT which is a nice town but being from CT I would have zoomed in on this awhile ago. Here are my major technical concerns:

The oil additive:
He states that there are issues with engine oil these days? That's just stupid. Todays engine is better formulated than it ever has been and it is stressed more than it ever has been - sales BS. But as for the additive, it appears to be a Boron compound in an ester oil - OK, Boron compounds for anti-wear have been around for sometime. The work fine enough but nothing beyond what the ZDDP does. But let us say it was better, the concentration of it is really low. There isn't enough in there to make a difference. Keep in mind, mixing anything with a fully formulated engine oil is just a bad idea. It doesn't work which is the least of your problems but it could actually work against you (competing reactions) and actually cause harm. I wouldn't use it.

The fuel additive
This subject matter is one I have very close knowledge of. The thing that really gets me is that he never comes out with a true claim per se, he does give the impression that his product can cure power and mileage issues. OK - lets give him the benefit of the doubt and assume they have a very energetic molecule in a formula that cleans and stabilizes and what have you. The ratio is not enough. The stuff would have to have other worldly powers to do what they claim at a 1/4 oz to 20 gl mix ratio. There is noting on Earth natural or synthesized that can do it at such a small ratio. Impossible. And he sites Bell Labs? I've been to Bell Labs and if that what he is talking about he is plain wrong. They have a few generators but I know who they use and it ain't them. If he's talking about AT&T then he is absolutely wrong because I know for a fact what they do and it ain't with them.

Grease
Titanium Sulfonate...yawn. Seen the numbers and nothing special. His claim at 0.5% water washout is done with polyisobutane added to the grease formula not the Titanium Sulfonate thickener.


Jay Leno was compensated handsomely for that bit. He's a spokesman.

I give the company 2 more years...
