Their claims are extraordinary, but there is no scientific proof for that.
They do provide an angry looking cat and a lot of boll power though.

Wikipedia makes no mention of boron in lubrication appliances, but boron is used in some abrasive materials. Hmmm. Something rhymes.

Guys I'd appreciate it if you took the time to read the preceding arguments for and against Boric Acid in Engine Oil and gave a revised and considered opinion.

Or might it be moved back MetroMPG?
