Hmmm

By the way, here's the link to the product web page with info.

Sorry - Senior moment aka Brain Fart

Prolong is nothing but snake oil. It is a chlorinated product that can/will cause corrosion long term. Chlorine is an excellent high pressure lubricant but at the cost of corrosion. All oils before 1930 had these chlorinated products in them untill the zinc based products came online. If it was such a wonder lubricant ALL the major oil companies would be using it as a base stock additive, but they don't because of its reactive nature. A good dino or synthetic oil is all you need. If you google prolong you'll find a long list of lawsuits levied against the company for false claims.

My understanding about the lawsuits, is that the FTC went after all of the super lubricants because they did not like the fact that they were making performance claims regarding the friction reductions. They require them to support any claims they make with valid evidence.

Prolong has resolved those suits by submitting the evidence that substantiated their claims and the FTC allowed them to continue making the advertising claim. If they had not been able to substantiate the claims, they would have had to remove them from all of their advertising. (I think Slick 50 also submitted their evidence also and was deemed valid.)

I personally have had very good results with the Prolong. It is fairly expensive retail, but much more reasonable if purchased direct in larger quantities.

I have a hard time thinking that a 3.8 L Chrysler V-6 with 246,000 miles on the original engine, that uses less than 1 quart in 5000 miles, hasn't benefited from the use. I don't see many others out there with similar status.

I am not about to push it on someone else, but I have had good results with it and use it in my 2 cars and 1 truck.

I do think the cam chain would need to be "washed" with regular oil to remove any of the free lubricant after the soak due to the potential for wet clutch problems.

Correction:
I was wrong it is not "prolong" the stuff is called Protec.
Sorry, This is the stuff to soak the cam chain in.
I asked him if it works in wet clutch apps:

"Do not run Prolong- run Protec. Do use it in fizzies. Use it in everything. No probs."
"One of the world’s worst web sites. I need to get them to let me fix it up for them." http://199.238.154.168/ (he has two FZ1's, 4-wheeler, Impala SS, others)
I was confused as they both claim "AFMT".
