Re: Tuning Alfa 156 2.0 JTS

it says that at 60C it bonds with metal creating a single molecule thick 'skin' does that mean it first sticks at 60C then stays on regardless of temp OR if the temp dropped to <60C it would 'fall' off again?

the 1st would be beneficial on cold starts if you use a poor oil but im sure new good grade oils would have accounted for cold starts and so already share the same characteristics.

it seems to be more for industry and more on machinery that has un/slightly oiled components where friction occurs, in which case its great.

a few of these posts are quite informative Extralube ZX1: Motoring Technical matters forum
