    Hey guys, My CJ-5 is low miles relative to its age but was wondering if anyone has used XADO Atomic Metal Conditioner in their rig? :? Interesting concept, any thoughts? Thanks

    Probably not.
    That stuff - any of it - is awfully expensive.

    I've never heard of it, and I've been selling auto parts since 1987.
    The use of the word "atomic" sets off my snake oil alarm...

    My advice would be to use quality oil & change it regularly.

    It appeared as an advertisement in Motor Trend Magazine. The Company is out of The Netherlands and actually guarantees wear protection up to 100,000 miles.

    What does the "guarantee" provide - a replacement engine, or a replacement bottle of snake oil?

    Hey Pete, I don't know, that is why I proposed the question, in hopes someone would know!

    Yeah I'm skeptical, to this day I have not seen an additive that provides any benefit beyond using a good quality synthetic oil and changing it regularly. I could not find any relevant tech info on this stuff other than some blurb about it's ability to prvent any metal atoms from being removed due to friction which with modern oils, friction is not really your main enemy anyhow so I'd just forget the additives, run a good synthetic and filter and change the oil regularly..

    Yeah, and since it's Atomic, that means it is nuclear grade! Worth a couple hundred per cent increase in value right there. The price tag says so.

    What put me off was the prices of the stuff.
    You could by a new JEEP if you don't buy any of the items and put the money towards the new Jeep. And Pay it off in a year!

    Haha it's Atomic alright.. Still trying to figure out how a Nuclear reaction is happening in an engine that magically makes the metal better.. Is that like neutron embrittlement or something? haha

    I guess I went to the wrong group of guys to ask advice. I understand skepticism, but you guys are beating a dead horse. I have not bought this product just thought i could get some unbiased advice.
