I was looking through 4runner sites and I stumbled across one that said he treated all of his mechanical parts with microlon. I was very interested in this so I looked at their website and I was surprised by the data they had posted up....

Take a look....read through....

Has anyone here heard of this or actually have used it? If this really works it would be great, but I'm very very skeptical about adding liquids like this to my car...

what do you guys think?

 

Sounds like more snake oil than anything else....

 

It's fake.

 

if you paid for it i try it in my tired 4banger

 

First I'm trying to figure out how you reduce wear by 700%, by my calculations that means you are actually creating metal instead of wearing it away :pat:

 

 

Remember, 1% = 1/100. Therefore, 100% = 1. Reducing wear by 700% is the same as dividing wear by 7.

 

ooh... /\ better posting

 

thats why im terrible at math. good thinking.

 

I am afraid you are wrong. Dividing wear by 7 actually equals 14.285...% of wear, or approximately 86% reduction in wear, not a 700% reduction of wear.

Well, let's say you have something that is 100mm, and it wears at 1mm per use. If 1mm wear=100% then 7mm wear=700%. That means wear is reduced by 7mm per use, that means you end up with something that started at 100mm and ends up at 107mm.

You simply can not "reduce wear up to 700%" as the original post title says. You can reduce wear by anything less than 100%, anything over that is not physically possible.

 

Remember Prolong and that Max something stuff that was all over TV and a few others that have been forgotten well,this stuff will be the next "miracle" product to go away.

 

yeah sounds like snake oil. If there were some miracle goo for not wearing out metal, the metal parts companies, would kill the guys who have it...They dont want that stuff to ever get to the market. lol.
