hi keith
thanks for your comments
you say that bitron may possibly not work without an oil filter installed
on the engine.
i just spoke to the person who gave me this flyer and i know have further
information at hand.

bitron does not replace oil in an engine but gives it a longer life
bitron looks after the metal surfaces in the engine by coating it somehow
it is a molecular engineering(thats what the hype says anyway)

john,
 i agree with you on the point that changing oil regularly definetely helps
in the longevity of an engine.
e.g.
my '67 beetle has done 178000mls on the origional motor and is still going.

i use valvoline in all my engines and have had no problems with it.
still on additives, i use moreys upper cylinder lubricant.this seems to
keep the cylinders and pistons clean and improves fuel economy.i swear by
it.

i think that if an engine is built properly, maintained and driven
accordingly it will last a long time.

but in contemporary times should we shun out products of technology that
may in fact 'help' things along???
 i assume that most of us are conservationists,like me;and the old adage
'if it aint broke dont fix it' holds fairly strong for most vw or classic
car enthusiast ,for that matter.

someone must have used this product so lets hear it.

cheers
vern
