That stuff is all over the 461 about to be fired up for the first time.

I also use Prolong. Do I know it works, hard to say.
But I also have it in everything I drive.
a few years ago I heard a little noise coming from my Honda Civic when I came home from work. 14 mile drive one way.
I work nights and I forgot to check the engine out and just jumped in the car and went to work the next day.
I found out what the noise was that evening getting out of the car.
The radiator split. It was dry as a bone. White residue all over the front bumper.
Head gasket was fine.
I know for a fact I drove it 30 miles with very little to no water. Might have even been 2 trips back and fourth to work.

Again, I know that stuff does not hurt and I believe it had something to do with my engine not building up a terrible amount of heat and something catastrophic happening.
So that is my concoction. 30 WT Dello 400 and Lucas-Prolong in my beater. The Volvo and Tundra get Wallmart-Costco synthetic with the same Lucas and Prolong.
Race car gets Schaeffers with Lucas-Prolong.
Not broke so its not getting fixed.
