Anyone used this stuff?

It's called motorkote. It's supposed to be some "killer" oil additive. There are probably about a dozen oil additives that all claim to be a miracle oil. I don't know if any of them are worth it, but these engines behave better when oil is consistently in all of the right places at the right time. This stuff seems to be legit in applying a protective layer in both idle and hard-run conditions. I emailed them to ask about my specific engine and they claim it would be "perfect" in that engine... Whatever that means

Anyway, I've been given the important lecture about straight-weight-40 oil only, and I don't want to put anything in there that could make things worse! So your thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks,
George

There is nothing made for a oil additive approved for use in a DD 2 stroke while they are low in oil pressure they move a lot of oil through the engine,the oil galleys stay full of oil so there is never a dry start on one of the old beast 

Save your money it's either loaded with ash or Teflon if you use anything go with Lucas even better go with Mobil Delvac 1240 engine oil

...  Save your money ....

    Yeah, modern oil is a complex mixture of chemicals designed in a balance to give you wear protection, stability, acid protection, heat/cold resistance.  The last thing you want to do is add in some unknown kind of chemical to that mix.  As a wise man once said "Save your money ..."

 Save your money for straight 40 oil,, with a Detroit you WILL need it.>>>Dan

It always amazes that someone comes out with a wonder product that none of the auto makers were aware of or thought to put in their vehicles.  Wonder what they pay their engineers for anyway?

Thanks for the reality check everyone. I got sucked into the sales pitch and apparently forgot the old adage, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is, lol.

I did a bit more research on the product and there's a lot of mystery surrounding what's actually in this stuff and the company is being rather cagey about it. And no wonder, some earlier unofficial material analysis shows it to be a long-chain paraffin that contains chlorine to achieve its "slickness".

Anyway, I knew I should double check and am glad I did

     They don't have engineers anymore, Thor!  The oil companies took them out and executed them, Mafia style, in a gravel quarry outside Tuscon, after they invented a carburettor that would run a '64 Ford at 95 MPG.  Then the oil companies bought up the patents and all the paperwork on those carburettors and destroyed all traces.  Everybody knows that ...

You guys shouldn't put chemists and engineers in the same sentence most of those places hire a 2nd year chemistry major in collage to do their dirty work

  This is for everyone who want's to know what Motorkote is , it is a chlorinated paraffin. There are 3 types, short,

  medium, and long.  Chlorinated gas was used against the Americans in WW1. You saw from movies what the

results were.  However that type of chemistry is used in todays world as a EP Additive (Extream Pressure )

A Detroit well run forever now. The only thing you can do to forever is shorten it.
