Does Prolong Engine Treatment Actually Work ?
​
I was asked to test Prolong Engine Treatment motor oil additive, which claims to increase wear protection and decrease heat and friction, to see if it actually works the way the makers claim.
Their website says, “Unlike other engine treatments on the market, Prolong Engine Treatment does not contain any solid particles such as PTFE resins, ‘molys’, zinc, copper or graphite. There is simply no other product that works as well as Prolong to reduce friction and heat in your vehicle’s engine”.
A few things the packaging says:

• No Equal In The World
​
• Prolong works in an effective partnership with your motor oil, to give your engine the ultimate protection against destructive metal to metal contact.
​ Prolong Engine Treatment works immediately.
.
They call for using their 12 ounce bottle for the initial treatment, and then to use their 8 ounce bottle at the following oil changes. The 12 ounce bottle costs about $20.00 and the 8 ounce bottle costs around $17.00. Those bottles are intended to treat 4 to 5 quarts of oil.
​So, I tested Prolong Engine Treatment, and here are the results:
​
• 5W30 Pennzoil Ultra, API “SN”, full synthetic, by itself produces a wear protection capability of 92,569 psi. But, with the addition of the recommended amount of Prolong, its wear protection capability increased to 136,658 psi, or up 48%. Comparing this increased value to the earlier API “SM” version of 5W30 Pennzoil Ultra, which by itself had a wear protection capability of 115,612 psi, the addition of Prolong increased its capability by 18%. The Prolong added capability of 136,658 psi, is the highest value I’ve ever seen. It is so high that it is completely off my wear protection category chart. This combination will become my latest number one ranked oil. No one could ever ask for any oil to provide a higher level of wear protection than this combination provides.
​
• 5W30 Castrol GTX conventional, by itself produces a wear protection capability of 95,392 psi. But, with the addition of the recommended amount of Prolong, its wear protection capability increased to 130,366 psi, or up 37%. This combination will become my latest number two ranked oil.
​
• 5W30 Pennzoil conventional yellow bottle, by itself produces a wear protection capability of 76,989 psi. But, with the addition of the recommended amount of Prolong, its wear protection capability increased to 117,028 psi, or up 52%. This combination will become my latest number three ranked oil.
​ This Prolong Engine Treatment motor oil additive works amazingly well in all types of oils, at all ranking levels. It is the REAL DEAL in terms of improving wear protection. You just have to decide for yourself if it is worth the extra money for your own particular needs. For most people, it would be more cost effective to simply choose a highly ranked oil in the first place, and avoid using any additives at all. But, for heavily loaded race engines, flat tappet engines, and for flat tappet break-in, where the ultimate in wear protection is desired, it could be worth considering.

• But, keep in mind that I only test an oil’s “Wear Protection Capability”. That provides the information that people usually care about most. However, that data is limited to ONLY wear protection capability, and does NOT provide any information as to how compatible overall this product’s chlorine may be with a given oil’s additive package. Chlorine and additive package incompatibility has a possible risk of creating damaging bearing corrosion problems. Contact Prolong’s maker for more information on compatibility to find out if it is safe to use in your application. The test data on Prolong is included here for informational purposes only. I do not endorse nor recommend its use.
​
And for the record, I have no affiliation what so ever, with any Oil Company or any Oil Additive Company. I simply post the results that come out of my independent and unbiased testing.
