What is your opinion on using Motorkote Hyper Lubricant on my 1997 Toyota Celica ST, 1.8 liter engine with 266,000 miles? Does this stuff actually work?
Snake oil.
Modern engine oils are very good as it is that you really don’t need to add more to them. I would save your money and avoid that product. Keep changing your engine oil/filter religiously every 5,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first, and make sure whichever brand oil you use matches the viscosity and OEM specs.
Waste of money.
A non sponsored, independent testing of this product seems to prove y'all wrong. See for yourself.
Have you ever heard of P.T. Barnum???
That's hardly a valid test of what will happen with this product inside an automobile engine. You would have to start with two new cars that have identical engines, one using Motorkote and the other using only a good quality synthetic oil. Tear them down, measure clearances, put them back together. Then run them both through an identical test course and at the end tear the engines down to compare the wear in each.
Project Farm is legit. But the testing in this video wasn't very thorough. His methods have gotten better over the years. The bearing test is impressive though. I does seem to reduce friction compared to straight 10W30. Would I put this stuff in my vehicles? No. I don't know what the long term effects are.
Yes, Project Farm is one of my favorite youtube channels. Auto engines are complex beasts though and while the bearing test as you say looked impressive that test is not done under the same conditions you'll find in an engine. I wouldn't use the stuff either. (Maybe in a lawn mower?)
And if you believe this, you believe the government is telling you the truth too. If you are hell bent on wasting your money on useless junk like this, have at it.
