[QUOTE="Tom, post: 146606"] [IMG]http://www.zerotohundred.com/reviews/tufoil//tufoilpose.jpg[/IMG] Welcome to one of automotive performance best kept secrets. The oil additive. Most oil additive claims to make your engine run cooler, smoother, quieter and therefore producing more power. PTFE or Teflon by DuPont is one of the main slippery stuff. [B]What's Tufoil[/B] [LIST] [*]The World's most Efficient Lubricant as claimed in the Guinness Book of World Records [*]A invention by an award winning inventor, Franklin Reick [*]The Most slippery substance known to man [*]A super-suspension of micro-miniature PTFE particles and soluble Molybdenum, permanently suspended in oil [*]Gives engines super acceleration, easier starts, smoother engine performance and better fuel mileage [*]Produces the lowest friction and wear of any known lubricant as tested by the U. S. Government [*]The most effective way to reduce internal friction and wear in your engine [/LIST] [B]About PTFE/Teflon in Tufoil[/B] By Tufoil, "Tufoil is a precisely formulated blend of synthetic and mineral oils with electro statically charged sub micron particles of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and soluble molybdenum compounds suspended in and dispersed throughout the carrier. This additive mixes with both mineral and synthetic oils to provide the very best in protection from frictional wear and high temperatures. While there are those who may doubt the effectiveness of the Teflon inside the product we have an excellent analogy. Four households were each given the ingredients to make a chocolate cake but after baking only one came out tasting perfect yet they all had the same ingredients. The answer lies in how the ingredients were mixed and with the technical knowledge of the maker to create a perfect product. The manufacturers of Tufoil have a unique worldwide patented process, which provides a way to incorporate the Teflon into the product to make it the best additive available. Tufoil's PTFE suspension works itself deep in to the most limited contact areas unaffected by other lubricants. The micron size of these particles ranges between .02 and .5 microns so Tufoil will not clog filters or oil openings. Tufoil's co efficient of friction is 0.029, which is more slippery than Teflon itself."
