Looks like snake-oil to me....

I'm glad you posted, and this response may help you!

What little actual technical info is provided on that site
is ridiculous. This looks like the German equivalent of
Z-MAX, which is/was hyped all over here in the U.S.
Aftermarket oil additives are usually a complete waste
of time if you're using good oil to begin with, and once
good oil is used long enough, it is contaminated with
dirt, blow-by, and is incontovertably compromised, and
needs to be changed. Anyone that claims their stuff will
allow longer change intervals is lying.
This product claims to link oil molecules in limitless chains.
Right! That would make limitless viscosity.
Keep away fro this garbage, and all aftermarket additives.
Just buy the best commerical synthetic in the recommended
viscosity for your car, and change it regularly, and you're
doing all you can.

While I am no engineer...I recall when I raced Formula Fords talking at length with the premier FF motor builder in the country about oil. He had done extensive testing. Redline was his suggestion...it created measurably more HP with an engine dyno. I run it in everything.

Yes, Redline is one of the best...

I'm an oil junky, and have read a lot about it. I've seen
chemical analyses of about 30 top brands of oil. Redline
is one of the best, as is Mobil-1 and Amsoil. For the cost,
*I* don't see any significant difference in test or additives
to choose redline over mobil-1. I did race with redline for
a long time, and now with mobil-1.
The main things are to use a commercial synthetic oil
in the viscosity recommended for your car, and change it
as often as recommended for the conditions.
I posted some more about oil in the thread:

Joe, you're right on. I am a chemical engineer and my chief engineer for racing used to work at Amoco lubricants and fuels.

"Oils on sale consist of short molecule chains. MATHY UNIVERSAL High Performance Additives will connect the oil molecules to nearly endless chains, thus multiplying their tensile strength. The result is a lubricating film that is close to indestructible and with the greatest reliability adheres to metal engine parts."

This is total BS. Stay away. The top end synthetics are all great.
