I have come across Xado oils & additives at www.xado.co.uk
Has anyone heard of them before? Seems to have approval from some of the majors.

Seems interesting but would appreciated other views or anyone who has used them.

They what you see on the page, engine motor oil treatments and additives. Probably with a higher concentration of some of the same additives that other similar products contain. There is probably a place and time to use them. Do not over look the fact that your car or truck dealer/supplier or OEM may void you warranty if he learns that you've put anything into your oil that he doesn't like.

Rudy,

Thanks for your post, but have been away for a while so unable to post.

I did not get a good report from my mechanic on the condition of my engine. Either it was a new car or bust so I did try their Gel revitalazants .

Seems to work engien not so clanky. How and why not sure?

Reason for original quaetion was that friend put me onto them. The product can't be too bad as a Formula Renalut Racing team http://www.jhmotorsport.co.uk is using them.

If I have any detremental rusults I will certianly SPAM the world.

Was reading your topic.

Just interesting how did xado go in your car?
By the way - I was reading through xado.co.uk and would like to mention here that xado isn't additive - as they state. It doesn't affect oil.

Well, seing that it is added to the oil it is a additive. Anything that is added to a base oil stock is a additive.

IMO it sounds like a snake oil additive. I don't see how you could physically coat anything with ceramic at the low temperatures encountered in a engine. If it was that great and worked so good it would be a additive in all types of oils, not just a dump in treatment. If it sounds to good to be true it probably is.

Felt I had to reply to revive my old post, as have a few hours to spare. May be everyone has moved on, but why is it that an innocent question about a product that is supplied by a manufacturer who clearly has a large range to offer, oils, greases, refrigerants etc, eventually has to be labelled with the term "Snake oil".

Perhaps they are treading on traditional manufacturers patch.

As indicated product worked for me - and I am happy to sing their praises.

Has anyone compared this ceramic based product to the half dozen or so other's that are available?

Hi, Jim.

Yes, I have. I really didn't notice any difference in engine performance. I treated the fuel and the engineoil with the additive. The only thing I can say is working better than expected, is their brakefluid. I am not longer using their products.
You now what I am using.

Jonny-b,

Thanks for your input. The only ceramic based additive I've tried is Cermax. I've used it in enough applications to know the results can range from subtle to significant.

I'm about to try a new product called Cermax MD Plus. While the original Cermax product might be best be thought of as a ceramic engine treatment, MD Plus is a oil treatment.

Been researching Xado extensively. True, the relatively low engine temperatures would not create the cermet coating. But Xado contains nano particles of an element (i.e. phosphorous) that creates a high-heat catalyst to bond the metal shavings in your engine to the ceramic nano particles in Xado to create a cer-met coating (which is stronger than either an individual ceramic or metal).

The science doesn't appear to be snake oil. There are thousands of research papers on cermet. Whether or not cermet works in this application is the big question. Plan to do extensive testing within the next 2 weeks and will re-post results.

Thanks in advance for doing this. Look forward to hearing the results.

Otherwise, this http://www.neptuneproducts.co.nz/shop/Products/NanoEner...+nanotechnology.html
product will come very soon.
I have been in touch with them and they said this was the latest technology. They have heard about Xado.

mdmedc, I look forward to see your findings about the Xado additive.
