Nanolubricants: Oils for your oil

[phoenixz]

Ok, so i have a bit too much time on my hands and have started reading through www.carbibles.com

on this http://www.carbibles.com/engineoil_bible_pg2.html page the author briefly mentions Nanolubricants. i had never heard of it before and assumed it was some sort of gimmick or unnecessary additive. But the more i have read into it the more curious i become.

normally i would stay away from additives of any kind as they generally proven to be "snake oil"/placebos, but www.nanovit.co.uk has piqued my interest.

would this be a useful additive to the Sag? does anyone aev any info on this company or first hand experience?

all thoughts/comments welcome

Ime guessing this is the same from Millers (NANODRIVE - The new low friction oil)

it is similar but not quite the same as nanovit.

nanovit is more about protection/repair/extending the life of your engine. it is essentially a self-repairing surface that coats the inside of your engine whilst providing enhanced lubrication. (or so the speil says)

nanodrive just has lower friction

Ill give you one guess as to my thoughts on this!

Too high of a snake oil chance for me. But if it does really work I would get it.

definitely

or is this so you can tell me off for looking up pointless addons for the sag again?
cause if it is then you should probably know that iv been looking at secondary bypass filters, pre-pressurisers and neodymium magnets

interesting stuff which i will use on the new everday car, but i'm not really looking for a bhp increase

Snake oil hanging off the back of semi technical jargon.

[Hollowpockets]

a magnet jacket or whatever its called for the oil filter is about the only thing id do over and above regular oil changes with good quality oil.

I just need an excuse for pizza though

Seriously, there's no benefit only downsides, they break down and produce chlorine gas in a hot engine and you don't want that in an engine.

ive started selling the nanodrive 5w40 and 10w60 from millers at my shop
good reviews so far, one customer with a 500bhp focus rs says he noticed throttle response improvements immediately and my evo customers all say they run quieter with the nano oil over the cfs oil i also use

[GTRene]

sounds good those nano oil product, do they also mix with 'normal' synthetic oils?
I mean its hard to get all the oil out, especially when you have oil-coolers.

say you have a good 5w40 full synthetic oil, can you mix that with those nano 5w40 for example?
