My apologies to the list if this is a repost...I didn't see my msg in the digest
and after getting absolutely no response (on this list? Naaaaaah) I figured it
might not have got through. So here goes again.
I have some friends who put Duralube in their vehicles (Audis..very non-lbc)
and I was a witness to the procedure and am familiar with their cars (driven
them occasionally, so I know what the gauge readings live near) and they claim/
I have noticed that a) the cars run noticeably cooler on the thermo (one to two
indicator points, whatever they mean) b)better gas mileage by around 2-5mpg and
c)one of them, which used to puff smoke, now does so considerably less.
My dilemma is this. Amanda, the TR6, has an engine I've never been inside,
and although she has been qutie good to me in terms of her engine (shhh) one
never knows. I would love to do anything that might help. BUT, after hanging
out here, I have become wary of any fluid that might go into my beloved, and
fluids with infomercials dedicated to them set off alarm bells in my skull.
What *is* this stuff? (Duralube, that is.) Does it work? Can it conceivably?
Perhaps most important, what might it hurt in a '71 TR6? Thanks for any info.
