Does anyone have any good (or bad) experiences to share relative to the use of oil additives that contain teflon for gas engines. Are any of the brands better or lower cost, etc.

Bent dude If your looking for a legitimate Teflon oil additive check out Tufoil at www.tufoil.com.This product holds patents,Gunniess records and has been government tested.I have personally used it to cure or limit wear or noise problems in engines,transmissions,transfer cases,and differentials.I swear by it and its found at most major auto parts stores. Good Luck Dieseldog!

Every engine that I have torn down after teflon was added feels like sand welded to the block above and beside the rod and main bearins. Both of the Perkins diesel engines that it was tried in here developed a hell of an oil leak at front seals, and developed more blow by from vent tubes. Like the other post, it took several oil changes for the leaks to slow back down, 1 didn't stop leaking, and 1 did.

Additivives are just a waste of money and may be darn right be bad in certain situations. Todays motor oils are just too good and some of the synthetic blends may be worth the extra $.

I tried some. Two of six engines blew within 2 weeks after adding the miracle lube. These two engines were worn quite a bit but I usually get much more service out of engines.
I would sooner buy a good used bridge than a pan protector for my motor again. I've heard that Dupont doesn't recommend it either. If I want to spend some extra mony I'll spend it on some synthetic blend oil from a major oil maker.
Just my two cents worth.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't even protect pans hence the invention of the plastic spatula. It only keeps your breakfast from sticking. When engines moving parts are all soft plastic I'll try it again.
Just my two cents worth.

Paul go to www.ftc.gov then click on search. Type Slick 50 in the search for box. It will have a world or information on numerous smoke and mirrors additives. PTFE in not good in the crankcase of your engine. Nutz & Boltz, a trade magazine, has done numerous reports on PTFE....save your money.
