"The following information appeared as
an editorial in Consumers Digest
March / April 1982 issue. It does not represent a direct or indirect endorsement of this product." Randy Weber, Editor
In the July / August 1981 issue of Consumers Digest, We admitted a lack of knowledge about engine treatment
products ("Questions & Answers" ). A deluge of inquiries and testimonials followed, so we investigated further.
We were somewhat skeptical at first, but it turns out that the product does exactly what the manufacturer claims it
does. In fact, the more we looked, the more facts stacked up on the
products side.
TEST RESULTS
The fact that it reduces engine wear --- that it does attach to metal parts
has been verified by tests conducted at the Franklin Institute, the University of Utah Engineering Experiment Station, and by the La
Tourneau College in Texas. The FAA has approved the product for use in
aircraft and another product for small engines (motorcycles , lawn mowers , and so
on) has also been favorable tested.
Perhaps most dramatic, the Automotive Services Councils for Pennsylvania, Inc. performed a torture - test with
excellent results. Three cars, with between 75,000 and 129,000 miles on them, were treated. Six months later,
the oil was drained from each vehicle, and the cars were driven, without oil plugs, for about a half hour. The water
temperature never rose, and the engines sustained no apparent damage.
Note: These tests were performed with Lubrilon Formula 101 marketed under another
private label.
