Thread: Bitron Oil

Its made from Snakes....

Actually.... I think Bitron may be about the only additive out there that isn't made of snake oil. It's not anything like the usual Nulons and that type of stuff.

Here is a clip of some of the Bitron testing. Admittedly it was done by Bitron, but it seems to be fair.

Naa, Tombies right, and to make matters worse, it's MLM goop.

I have not seen one independent and verifiable test done on the stuff.

DD, use a good fully formulated oil in your engine, gearbox and diffs and you don't need additives.
The blokes in white coats in the labs often have PhD's, and the top end products from all the reputable blenders are designed to meet and often massively exceed the tests that manufacturers can come up with. With goops you really don't know how it may react or affect the carefully balanced additive package in the oil.
In normal conditions you'll get away with it, at extremes ??

I often read of blokes throwing XYZ goop into a gearbox or diff and it solved a problem, but if they'd aproached an oil company 99/100 they would have a more suitable lube that would solve their problem on the shelf, and often cheaper than the old oil+goop.

<edit> This is from a bloke that blends oil in the US for an industrial lubricants Co.
I've talked to Bruce quite a few times, he blends probably the best shock fluid I know of.

specific garvity points to a Chlor parraiffn if so over time will increase acids and lead to bearing and metal surface corroison.

Thanks Guys...........you talked me out of thinking any more about.
