I have heard of it, but I have not used it. I was thinking of getting it but I have not gotten it, yet anyway.

It is a scam. I was sold by the infomercial, bought some for my accord, and religiously measured the change. There was none. So I returned the empty bottles, and the store actually gave me a refund.

I was once a firm believer in DuraLube, but I'm not really anymore. I just don't trust those kinda addatives anymore. you would think that the people who make cars know how to protect them right???? Do they use this stuff??? no.

If you like to buy that kind of crap, here's another one you might be interested in.

I just saw the infomercial a few days ago.

They claim it gives you +13hp.

Do a search on the web for "oil additives" and you will find lots of info on all of the lawsuits against Duralube, Slick50 and the like.

Years (and years) ago a guy named Andy Grannatelli hawked a product called STP. It was an oil additive that was supposed to make old engines run like new. It had the viscosity of honey and was very controversial. Mr. Grannatelli used his considerable profits to field a number of Indy cars over the years. He's no longer with us; however, I think his oil additive products still are.
