Never paid any attention to it till I saw it advertised on tv the other day.
What is it? Amsoil competitor?

Nope, a Ukranian based oil company makes this one. It states that it contains all the latest and greatest base stocks, additive packages and such, but also has their rejuvenation ingredient that is supposed to help "heal the wear" so to speak.
Just click around on that link and it'll say it better than I can sum up.

boron nitride solid lubricant I think very high dollar white in color used as a replacement for moly how good is it?? do not know

Well bruce381, I know that from other reading that Boron is a good replacement in conjunction with the lowered ZDDP levels of the SM oils, but in your opinion, would it be beneficial as a main additive component, as opposed to being in the background as a supplemental one?
I'm always leery of these "miracle" products. I appreciate an alternate brand of oil but the "rejuvenation" thing throws me off.
Had a guy selling Bitron try to sign me up years ago. I was polite and even took the video home to watch. It looked like great stuff - running a vehicle for 50(?) miles with no water and no oil. This stuff never really took off either. He was a little upset, when I declined his offer. Yes, I knew how pyramid schemes worked. I really had no interest from the getgo.
I'm not saying Xado is a pyramid scheme or is bad. I think they may have had better success trying to market a high quality product rather than a "miracle" product.

As far as I know, they aren't really marketing it as a miracle product per se, just an innovative product to help "reverse the wear". Not like many others before, and I'm sure that many others after will give the same jargon on their product as well.
From reading, it does seem like a quality product. Just how high of quality is what I was getting at, and if it would be worth trying out.

Saw the tv commercial again today. Not a direct quote but as close as I can remember.
"rebuilds internal engine parts"
I know they did not say rejuvenate. Could have been "build up".
That is quite a claim!
Anyone else see this commercial? I think it was from Thunderbay TV in Ontario.
Someone has a lot of faith in this stuff to pay for television time.

boron nitride is NOT same boron as used now in regular oils is a solid lube like moly disulfide suposed to burnish into metal pores. high dollar do not know how good or bad it works never used have sample but after seeing how it seperates over time do not have much interest in this type of additive.

Meaning that this additive could be along the sames lines as the PTFE additive of old bruce381?
If the particles are small enough, they wouldn't clog up things, would they? I would just have to worry about the settleage problem, but that would also depend on the actual quantity of particulate matter in the actual lubricant itself that doesn't want to stay in suspension, right?
Well, this was just an oil that I came across quite by accident while doing my usual late night surfing binges...

Hi, Dad.
I have been testing this additive, but not the oil. I tested it in the motor oil(before I started to use Synlube) and the diesel tank, but I can not say that it makes any difference. However, their brake fluid seem to do well.

This is one cool product! I love those cans! Where can I get one?
63Avanti, you're gonna love this even better. Do a search on ebay for XADO oil, then click on XADO Shop in the estore section, and finally, enjoy the browsing and the cans.
Check out our web at www.xado.ca or send me an email. My company has been in the oil business for 10 years now selling to H/D equipment operators.
MPG-EXTreme™ is a surface metal conditioner for use wherever any conventional lubricants can be used. Unlike lubricants that simply coat the metal surface, MPG-EXTreme™ forms a molecular bond that chemically reacts with the metal compound to create a remarkably strong surface, that serves to drastically reduce friction, creating a significant reduction in heat and wear.

Ok Moon123, which one? The ebay guy or the guy right above your post?
Martin L., this is about XADO oil, not a fuel saving additive or metal bonding additive. I've already checked out that stuff, and the term snake oil loaded with chlorinated paraffins comes into play.

Agreed Dad2leia, fairy dust in a bottle products that promise the world rarely do. Pick a good high quality oil to start with and you shouldn't have to add anything.
Guys, all you need to do is try it.
Any Land Rover enthusiasts will know that the LT77 gearbox is a real problem with rough gear changes. Tried several other transmission oils. XADO claimed that their 75W-90 would cure all. I don't like bold claim either but don't knock it some how this stuff works, improvement was significant. Can't tell you how, but noise is much less and change is smoother. In my opinion $$ worth spent.
Perhaps this is a bit late, but I post for the benefit of those sill interested.

Sell Xado much? That vid showed jack squat. A couple of computer gen images of molecules filling in gap. How is this stuff any different from Microlon or any of the other "filler" products?

Do you have a website? How much for a case? How many cans in a case? Thanx.
I can tell you honestly that Xado does work. I was skeptical about the product working but to my surprise it does work. I have a 2000 Chevy S10 with apx. 115,000 miles on it. About 2 weeks ago I notice the lifters were ticking and the oil pressure was down. After doing the treatment my oil pressure is back and the ticking noise is gone!

Sound like a Synlube ad? Vegas anyone?

I just love it when an oil claims to meet or exceed....
Keep in mind that unlike standard oil industry approvals, where an oil can get a grade by being within a range of criteria, OEM-approved oils use a set of standards that have been tested on your vehicle and been proven to work. I would be surprised if a company that uses the term "exceeds" spent the money to have an OEM test its oil only to receive a letter that says, "We're sorry but your product is too good, we can't offer you approval." The same thing holds true with the use of the term "meets." Since the other oil companies don't spend the time and money to have the OEM test it, how would they know it meets the requirement? Plus, if it did really meet the requirement then it would be an approved oil.
This is not on any BMW approved list that I've ever run across.

If this nanotechnology works for oil and lubricant to metal treatment, we can see this in SAE paper but none until today.
I've used Liqui Moly's BN additive (milkish/brown colour - BN in mineral oil) and it's reduced the water temp. from approx. 80°C to between 72° and 74°.
Naturally, it still goes above 90°C in city traffic.
Nothing else changed that could account for it.
