REPLACEMENT FOR DURALUBE

A bunch of years ago,every once in a while there was one of those snake oil commercials on late night tv.Some kind of phoney baloney snake oil and they would pour the snake oil in an engine and then drain all of the oil out of the engine.Then with the engine cranked back up and running,they would dump dirt and stuff into the engine and the engine would keep on running and running.Of course I never fell for that phoney baloney snake oil. cuhulin

I have lived here much of my life, and the laws are on the books. Now, the state does not normally investigate and prosecute. You are responsible for reporting and filing complaints. And when you do so in good faith, you will almost always win.

I have.

You need to make yourself aware of the main tenets of this legislations.

I go from memory but some of them include..

(1) If you advertise or claim that a product or service will fix your problem, it had better do it. Otherwise, you may seek redress. (2) If you accept credit cards, you may NOT charge a surcharge to use it. You may, however, offer a discount for cash. (3) You may not call yourself, or your company, a corporation if, in fact, you are not incorporated. This is a breach of law.

There are several parts of this law, and I suggest you get a copy, or a book (there is an excellent one on the market) that outlines every phase of this law. University of Houston law professor was the author, I think.

You have to bring charges, but you can expect your damages, times 3.

I spent ten months in 1965 at Fort Hood,Texas.I wasen't too interested (at the time) in deceptive trade practices though. cuhulin

Well fellow sports fans what do you think of this fine fisherman "RAYMOND". He seems to be using some good Duralube" bait and landed quite a few fish from the pond today. It's good that he is practicing catch and release though. How about a big hand for him folks.....

Sorry just couldn't resist it.

Forever (practically)

Yep, HLS is right. I've lived here my WHOLE life and I've seen it happen. It doesn't happen often, but when it does it can get big in a hurry. The last one I remember was when all sorts of places were advertising "10 minute state inspections" and a BUNCH of them got nailed for consistently taking longer than 10 minutes. Nowdays most of them have generic names like "fast sticker" or "sticker stop" and its extremely rare to see one that actually makes a claim about how long they'll take.

I have not used either slick 50 or duralube's oil additives.

I have used Tufoil along with Mobil 1 oil in all vehicles and other engine driven equipment for the last 15+ years with no oil related failures. I usually keep vehicles longer than most and all (I have kept that long) have reached

200,000+ miles with no excessive oil consumption or blue exhaust smoke. I think Tufoil has moly and ptfe and maybe other stuff as well. I do not extend the oil change interval and change oil within the factory recommended timeframe's. I use regular oil in new vehicles for the first 500-1000 miles for break in, then switch to the Tufoil/Mobil 1 mixture.

Google for Tufoil for additional info, They don't do much mass media marketing but they do have a web site that has some test info and the usual testimonials from users. I am not affiliated with either of the products I mentioned above other than being a happy consumer of their products. best regards, Joe.

I did, and found someone (admittedly an Amsoil wonk) asserting that as of January 2006, the TufOil site contained the direct quote "Tufoil's PTFE suspension works itself deep in to the most limited contact areas unaffected by other lubricants."
