Question Anyone ever tried Tufoil (tough oil)?

I saw an ad in Car & Driver (you know, in the back of the magazine where all the tiny ads go) for the self proclaimed Toughest oil on the market. I checked out their website and watched the Tufoil video:
http://www.tufoil.com/
Anyone ever try this stuff yet?
Search results absolutely nothing on "Tufoil"!!!
Even on the guinness book of world records website.

8 oz - $12.50
1 Qt - $38.50
48 oz - $58.30
1 Gallon - $137.50
according to their buy now page. It's an engine treatment/oil additive.

*** that ****... seriously... stay away

there's basically no reason to use an oil additive almost EVER.

if you are willing to spend that much, simply get the best oil money can buy which is motul 300v and call it a day.

You took the words out of my mouth.

I'll take Motul ANY day over an overpriced additive. Then again, who knows. Maybe it's some good stuff (at least it better be for the price they're charging). Buy some and let us know

Edit: Why did you check the Guinness Book of World Records? Did they claim it was the best oil in the world or something?

^ Yes. On their website, they claim to be the only oil that is in the Guinness book of world records for the most slippery lubricant known to man. I tried to look for it, but the Guinness website doesn't give a lot of information (probably because they want you to buy the publication ).

If somebody can prove to me that they are on the Guinness book of world records for the most slippery lubricant known to man, then I will buy some and tell you all how it goes.

I looked it up, and even the vendors that sell this stuff say it's in there. But I don't know if that's because they went and read the Tufoil website or what. I dunno, just thinking of trying something out.

I got an idea! I'll try it on the 1990 Accord LX, and my sister's 2004 Hyundai Accent. Maybe even my dad's truck. When I get results, I'll share.
