Torque is the work produced by the engine resulting from the pressure on the top of all of the pistons, which push on the crankshaft through their connecting rods. The actual torque of the crankshaft varies as the cylinders move to different cycle positions. Engine torque is the average torque produced by all of the cylinders throughout the cycle, and it is measured in pound-feet. It is the number of pounds at the end of a one-foot lever arm that would be required to balance the engine s twisting effort. Torque is twisting force.
Power is work done in a given period of time.
The quicker a given amount of work is accomplished, the more power required. One horsepower is the amount of energy required to do 33000 foot-pounds of work in one minute. If this same work were done in fifteen seconds, it would require four horsepower. I neither endorse nor approve of any type of additive whether it is for use in engine oil or fuel. In my opinion and the opinion of several of my colleagues I feel that the quality of today s name brand oils are so fantastic that little if any benefit can be derived from additives, further more the use of additives may react adversely with the many additives and chemicals that are already present in today s motor oils.
