Anyone else remember the Havoline motor oil TV ads from maybe 20-30 years
ago, where they put their oil in some New York City cabs (or some car[s]),
then drained the crankcases and proceeded to drive the cars around for some
amazingly long period of time...with no ill effects?
Great stunt, I suppose (under who knows what sort of controls and
precautions). Valid or not, though, seems to me that if one could have done
such a stunt with a good quality motor oil, one might not have needed Prolong
or any other additive to begin with. ;-)
