Polydyn TX7

[Pete Masterson]

I recall using "Motor Medic" (a very heavy oil) in a very sick engine
many years ago before trading in the old car... I note that TX-7
claims a viscosity of 60 -- so it's a heavy oil. That, alone, will
tend to increase oil pressure, if enough of the product is used.
However, that isn't, necessarily, a useful result if it is simply
done by causing more resistance in the oil delivery system (by higher
viscosity).

Over the years, there have been many products with TFE (Teflon) as a
component. All claim to coat the inside of the engine with Teflon to
reduce friction. Since most of those other products didn't really
work, I note that TX-7 claims to "burnish" the TFE into the metal at
"wear points." They offer no proof that this has a better result than
other TFE products.

Many additives claim all sorts of engine efficiency improvements --
but none ever seem to have scientifically valid data to document the
claims. (Anecdotal reports are not scientifically valid data.) The
fact that it is used in race cars only means (1) that the
manufacturer sponsors a race car or (2) that race car owners are
willing to try experimental means if they think it may improve their
performance. Race car drivers are also known to wear a "lucky" piece
of clothing for the same result.

Snake oil? Could be -- The stuff might work, but no real proof is
provided. Diesel use also appears to be rather poorly documented,
even on the manufacturer's web site. Personally, I wouldn't want to
experiment on an engine that might cost $20,000 to rebuild if it
causes a problem.
