Have anybody used XADO products? I heard they are pretty good. ---

I heard that Slick-50 is pretty good…or Dura-Lube…ALL JUNK. It’s a BILLION dollar a year business…so might as well try to get a piece of the pie. Information is the BEST defense against Fraud…Obviously we’re NOT informed enough if companies like this are THRIVING. ---

If they are for cars, thay aren’t worth paying more money for. If you heard it at work or from a friend, you haven’t heard from professionals. If you have heard from the pros, they are selling the stuff and will tell you anything. ---

Your first step should be ignoring people who tell you bogus products like this are any good at all. Assuming you don’t have a vested interest (a.k.a. “distributor”) in this bunk. ---

First question. Why do you feel you need some sort of additive? What kind of additive do you feel is needed? (fuel oil transmission fluid blinker fluid …?) ---

Google and see for yourself. It’s another miracle in a bottle. ---

Just another bogus additive using the same advertising template as countless other worthless products. Cylinder heads running cool to the touch, 1600+ MPG, and running all day long tests with no oil in the engine? At the end of the day add oil and no problem? I think not. ---

It seems unanimous that it is another bogous product. Thanks all for comments/responses. No i do not have vested interest. a good friend of mine has used it and he highly recommended for “older cars”. Thus, it could bring compression like a new car again. he experienced it in his old car ( i think it is 1997 jeep cherokee). i used bought a used 2001 volvo s40. it drives well but i thought i could made it drive like new again. but the xado cost $100. it is a bit too much for me thus, i want to check your commments. thanks again. ---
