Bi-tron Oil additives
Submitted: Wednesday, Dec 01, 2004 at 19:40

Howdy all
OK, at the risk of doing what most people seem to do on this site. . . . . . . Has anybody had any experience, or can give me some
feedback
on this Bi-tron stuff???? I figured it can't be too bad if there was an ad run for it on here. Rather than fill the
forum
with responses (unless they're good ones) email me at aj_ang@optusnet.com.au
I am waiting for a phone call from the bloke who supplies it and it will be interesting to hear what he has to say and compare it with any response I get from here.
Cheers
Andrew

replied: Are you afraid of opinions?
The way I see it is that the people who manufacture or resell lubrication additves or petrochemical additives are pandering to the emotions of a minority of machinery owners who are purists in their ambition to get the ultimate return from the operation of their machinery. Whether these product are better than the run of the mill everyday used by all and sundry products has to be proven beyond reasonable doubt.
As such these manufacturers and resellers put exhorbitant prices on their products to make the customer think that he/she is getting a better quality product.
I, for one, am a non believer in these products.
My opinion.

replied: If I remember correctly the claims for the oil additive are similar to that made by Castrol for Magnatec. BiTron has been around long before Magnatec of course. Castrol obviously thinks there is something to this molecular attraction stuff..

replied: Do they sell it in the USA under the same advertising blurb??
This seems to be the best test, because as I understand it, over there they can't make those sort of claims unless they can prove them to be scientifically correct.
The same can be said for Hiclones and all the plethorae of other add-ons and gizmos.

Hi Rosco,
Not quite true about the US ... the number of additives, gizmos and gadgets they have over there make
Australia
look paltry.
At least here, there is only HiClone ... in the US there is Hiclones, Cyclones and Tornadoes! All the same thing.
I was following a thread on a yahoo
forum
about some guys car that had failed a Nox test. He was given advice to fit a Tornadoe, put in some magic goo in to the sump, etc. He did all that ... and ended up having to replace his catalytic converter anyway.
So the US is definitely not a test for the validity of this stuff.

replied: None of these additive manufacturers can supply independent irrefutable evidence their products do anything else than make your wallet lighter. In the large majority of cases additives today break down the lubrication qualities of modern oils. You would have no idea if the additive you want to put in the oil is compatible with the additives in the oil companies oil.
Oil additives - NAH NAH NAH NO NO NO
