AFMT..Anti Friction Metal Treatment.
"Bearings to skid"......are you aware of the large amount of research a certain large Japanese firm are putting into decreasing friction in their bearings?
Over 40,000 miles use in my V6 3 Lit. Scimitar and Gearbox, overdrive, engine, back axle and power steering all going well (now on 103,000 miles overall).
This stuff is not to be confused with other rubbish that is around, and is certainly not "snake oil" just a modern chemically well developed product that has been proven by two of the largest most respected independent (from large oil companies) institutes.
There are those who live in the past and do not accept development in oils...........as one of our well respected, now deceased, members who was advanced in engine development, used to say "20/50 is good for clapped out mowers.
But then I have never used my 7s for mowing.
A modern fully synthetic oil of the right spec for the application and with the mechanical parts properly prepared (full engine clean out) is far better than mineral oil. Then take it to the next level by the addition of AFMT
Note the film strength of even the best synthetic......around 7,000 pounds per sq. inch compared with AFMT with its proven 200,000psi.
