I went to BARs webite . Looked for any technical white papers substantiating their performance claims. Found none. Read their product data, Std questions & answers listed.etc... Found no automotive or national tests listed or referenced there corroborating their product performance from independent test labs. If you have any white paper re:BARs (and I am not being sarcastic) backed by ASME, ASTM, ANSI, etc. testing-technical data from reputable engineering sources that has confirmed BARs claims, I would be very interested in reading. If this data is the basis for your using BARs, then your argument is sound and I guess I am ignorant;however,without aformentioned test data, I would NOT put a chemical into my properly maintained Saab without either acceptance from Saab or an independent test lab tested (per industry accepted test standards).period. Without knowing the details as to these manufacturers financial and/or technical incentive and their repective engine/material/coolant condtions, and all variables present (i.e., fuel type, head material, block material, I have no comment. Is BARs added at dealer maintenance during warrantee periods for these suppliers listed?
