Hi Guys,
I just posted this information on the Classic Car forum but thought I should post here also. Lee Odell recently posted information about Oil Extreme, the testing results by David Vizard etc.
I looked up the company and sent them a message with several questions. I received some answers from George French the owner of the Oil Extreme company. There are two email messages below.

Marvin
Dear Marvin,
Yes, our Calcium Petroleum Sulfonate technology which is found in our Oil Extreme "Better than Synthetic" Motor Oil, and our Oil Extreme Concentrate Additive, works especially well in older cars. In fact the Rolls Royce Club of England recommends to its members that they use it in their Vintage Rolls Royce Engines.
One of the things why they recommend it is because in vintage engines the cars are not driven every day, so they usually don't get hot enough to burn off condensation in an engine, so the water and acid from normal combustion don't have a chance to burn off, and the acid and water sit in the crankcase and cause corrosion.
However, with our extremely high TBN of 20, this helps to neutralize the acid, as well as cutting friction and wear while running.
As far as which product you should buy, I suggest you start with our Concentrate. After you see the difference in engine performance, you might like to buy our complete oil with our technology already in it.
I would suggest you buy the 16 ounce bottle as you will want to put some in the transmission as well as the rear end, and the radiator, which will keep your water pump bearing from going out.
Warmest Regards,
George
Dear Marvin
The first time you use it, put 2 ounces of Concentrate per quart of engine oil.
Change oil at your regular oil change interval, then use just one ounce per quart, and at least double the drain interval.
Put 2 ounces per quart of transmission fluid in a std shift, and just 1 ounces per quart in an automatic trans.
Put two ounces per quart in the rear end, and just 2 ounces period in the radiator.
Thanks for the order.
It just so happens my dad bought a terra plane when I was a little boy. As I remember all those years ago, it had a
red hood ornament.
Warmest Regards
George
Sounds like a 36 Terraplane with the red cigar ornament!
