Default Anybody tried Bi-tron oil aditive?

Been doing a bit or research on this product: bi-tron

I haven't found a single negative thing or any comparison failure.

I even like this video:

Any inputs?

theyre not sold on it. this thread is mostly full of BS from some spokesperson for bitron. why are you considering an additive? if you really want to run the best oil for your 4.0, get amsoil Z-ROD. i havent used it, i'm pretty damn satisfied with shell rotella T6 5-40, and have the blackstone oil reports to prove it's worth.

Yeah, been selling Amsoil for over 20 years now and Im just curious about it. I sent the video to Amsoil today with a few questions about it. I don't know if they've tested it. wouldn't mind hearing from them in person.

Like I said, not about to ruin $100 of oil without Data. And yes, the Z-rod from Amsoil the some of the best stuff you can do for your engine.
I have a stroked engine, aggressive cam (set up for max torque at 3000 rpm) and double valve springs so good oil with zinc is my friend.

I will post the reply from Amsoil on here as soon as I get it.

The rotella t6 already has high zinc levels. Here's my first report from blackstone, ill be sending them another sample once I reach 5500 miles on this oil.

The t6 is a good oil, so is Amsoil. What I am looking to find out is not what oil is best. I already know that. What I want to know is: can Bi-Tron make a great product better. Or can it improve anything in the efficiently of my engine ?
