Have any of you had any experience with this? Or ever heard of it?
A friend of mine said he used to work with this company years ago and it was an excellent product.

Never heard of it. Looks like snake oil.

May be just me, but it looks expensive at $111.80 for a single 32-oz bottle that lasts 2 or 3 oil changes, and their use of fake AI imagery for their own webshop doesn't instill confidence either (see below, but all their product photos are similarly full of AI rendering glitches). The claims feel suspicious, too.

Yea i was noticing the really poor spelling and the overall halfass web design. I'm gonna take the safe path and avoid this one.

Not aware of that, but I would stay away... rather, if you want the best oil, id look to DRIVEN and the recent testing done by the OIL GEEK. That stuff is amazing!

Check out THIS YouTube link...

Easily won the best oil temps...

Zero reason for use of any additive in oil with the amount of specialized oils out there today.

Zero reasons to modify a car with all the specialized cars out there today.

Most oils bare minimum standard will work but I'm looking for something to get better resistance to thermal breakdown than bare minimum standards. But I'm not against different oils instead of additives, i just want thermal breakdown resistance to be one of the main qualities.

If you’re not tracking the car your oil temp is barely higher than winter oil temps. If your oil cooler and auxiliary coolers are working correctly your oil temp in the summer will be a steady 212ish degrees. When you’re getting on it a bit it will go up a bit but not anywhere close to track temps. My car consistently see’s 270 degrees on track. Those are the temps you have to start worrying about breakdown and changing your oil sooner.

The temps in the summer from just daily’ing your car are nothing to worry about and I bet your oil life sensor is factoring in this exact thing that you’re worried about

Dont forget where you shut off the car and it heatsoaks in between sessions. If you're seeing 270 on track, what is it at after 10 minutes of sitting in the pit/garages?

Theres PLENTY of TX, FL, AZ cars that see DD and track use and have no oil issues. If you have to worry about oil breaking down at 120 or even 230 degrees, use a different oil. If its something that seriously bothers you, up your oil change intervals.

I know its legal bs but in my 5th gen manual it says not to add anything to the oil, my wifes 6th gen (2022) manual says the same thing. Hell my turbos on my car are ball bearing oil fed. The heat from that and driving in FL, never worried about it. Oil gets changed every 3k. To answer your question directly, never heard of that stuff and with all the spelling mistakes on the label, I wouldnt even feel comfortable having it my garage let alone in my car.

You being in Pennsylvania vs me in Texas is two different worlds. Like i said with my car not even running in the past 24 hours it will be static heat of 120 degrees in a garage. So normal day temperatures that would kill you is a Tuesday here. Blacktop roads are sitting at 300+ degrees. And like i said pretty much all oils can resist heat breakdown "well enough" but if i can find oil that if more resistant to heat breakdown even if maybe just changing oil weight helps out for summer intervals.
I do changes every 3000 miles like clockwork and even with daily driving im putting about 4000-5000 miles a year on the car.
Post shutdown and in traffic heat soak from the road is the bigger concern for me. Even at 3000 mile intervals I'm seeing thinned out black oil. And a noticeable reduction in engine vibrations after i change the oil.

I follow the Motor Oil Geek too...lots of high quality info in his videos sometimes way over my head...
