Several web pages discuss the snake oil phenomenon. Try
http://www1.surfsouth.com/~gdirksen/oiladd.html
for a good discussion of the main types. Another site,
http://www.dragnbreath.com/dragnbreath/tn2aboutoiladditives.html actually
lists brands and classifies them by active ingredient. Prolong is dealt
with, and there is also a discussion of synthetic oils. The consensus:
most of them do more harm than good, and if they were so great, oil
companies would include them, or more of them in thier products. Buy a
good motor oil, and save your money.
