I was given as a gift for a favour a bottle of this. Is it anything other than snake oil ? You know, a gimmick like Wynnns or Forte? |

Vladimir, If it was any good you can be certain the reputable oil suppliers will already have the additive or similar in their branded oils. The only application I would be considering this product for would be the cheap no-name/unknown brand oils as the cost of including the additive would bring their price up to the level of the branded oils. Was this an instance of someone "passing on" an unwanted gift? |

No David it was not an unwanted gift. What had happened is I worked with a certain young lady at the bus company for about a year and a half and found her very helpful cheerful person but she left the bus company I think because of certain annoying people so when a job came up at our local Repco branch I put the good word in for her and she got the job and the manager was so pleased with her I got this bottle of Moreys with a cartridge of grease as payback. Like you, I don't think any quality oil is going to be improved by adding this Moreys product. So it really is a case of snake oil salesmenship. |
