Oil additive home test
Hello guys,
The following is going on. I work in engine testing at a certified lab for certifing engines for production, in the Netherlands. We also get sometimes the fuelsavers and also in additive. Till now we tested many of them and never any of them worked! [They are claiming 10% fuel saving for example]
My dad has a own company using a digger like this and many other smaller machines.
Somewhere, i believe at a show, he walked into the people selling an oil additive. They claim the following: Lower mechanical friction, Less wear, Less heat release, Less energyloss, Less fuel consumption (till 12%), more power, and oil can stay in longer.
When i heard this and the price [5 liter is €480 euro] you can believe i pulled my hears out of my head.
As there is no certificate which proves that this is tested and found to be working i see this as a scam. When telling my dad (he never believes me with things) he said i saw it with my own eyes. As they did a test in front of him.
The following and really using an identical set up
As you see more people claiming the same also do the same test! Anyway if this was really doing the thing they claim then let it test and go to the big oil companies and you will make millions. Story of the company "If oil doesn't need replacement they don't make money, so they don't want to buy it". In my eyes complete bullshit, because if you are the one that can extend oil life and all others can't you are in big business!
Where is the trick in this test!?! Or what can i tell him that this indeed works but won't do the things they say....
Please somebody help me out!
