"Another product exists that is based not on harsh solvents but on esters used in industry for metal cleaning. It is slow-acting and gentle with the added benefit of reconditioning seals. "

= Auto-Rx

then just say it.

People here buy a lot of ARX, Frank should sponsor an ad, but in absence of that relationship, I don't see how pimping his product by name is appropriate. Castrol sponsors Bobistheoilguy and would probally do so here if approached. Their relationship with Audi and products specific to Audi is enough to merit mention here. It's a call that I made personally and I stick by it. I might actually suggest an AW sponsorship to my Castrol rep next time we speak.

Also, if people want to see brands, they can consult Audi's published oil lists.

a recommended product is technical information that a enthusiast should have access to, regardless of the politically-correct-ethical-moral-advertizing-crap.

sending a reader on a wild goose chase to hunt down what product you are vaguely referring to does no one any good, especially in a tech article. be clear and specific.
nothing is worse than a tech article with incomplete/censored information, like missing bolt torques, part numbers, or product specifics.

Some how a little bit of it got into the combustion chamber and the motor accelerated wildly out of control until it threw a rod.

I might be a bit more sensitive to the costs of keeping a site up because Bob's has issues with it, accepting donations, ARX/Frank paying for banners ads and now, a welcome Castrol sponsorship. AW is big and maybe indifferent to small ads from ARX, but the issue should be handled with appropriate action. How could AW recruit bigger sponsors if they are just giving away advertising to smaller companies? You reallyu should rethink your comparison to "missing info" or part numbers ARX has been purposely omitted. If Kris agreed with you and specificly thought the name belonged there, he is welcome to insert it, perhaps you should direct your opinion toward him. BTW- when is the last time you donated money to an non-**** website? If you are tight on cash, I'll make a small donation on your behalf.

I seriously don't see how an oil additive can make the engine rev...in a 4-stroke. Using it in the intake like Seafoam can make it accelerate somewhat. Putting on a thinking cap, there must be another reason the engine acceleratd (like throttle cable/stuck...something. Maybe there was too much in the engine and it burned at once??? Still, I'm assuming it was not in the oil as I was talking about.
