They use wetting agents in Photography... like photoflow - but no one puts
Slick 50 on their negatives... So the point is: a wetting agent is used in
water, and teflon is used between eggs and metal - if an agent is being used
according to the way its typically being used then maybe all is not ill.

Comments? Critism?

Besides isn't Redline a good company? Aren't they the ones who make a
synthetic transmission fluid people here seem to like? And by the way: does
synthetic transmission fluid improve gas mileage, and if yes then by how
much?
