Well, I don't have photos from the assembly line, if that's what you mean.
BL mentions on their website that it is installed in GM, Ford, and Daimler-Chrysler cars at their respective factories, and somewhere I've got a long list of OEM's who purportedly do likewise. They've made these claims for years in their literature and website, so if they're bogus I would think someone would have challenged them by now. This product has been around for more than 50 years, I am told.

Jaguar is on the list, and I double-checked that by reading some websites and forums for Jag owners which backs up that claim. Jaguar reportedly recommends using BL in the owner's manual. I didn't read it myself, but I've seen mention of it more than once by owners.

I do know that in the owner's manual of a water-cooled Suzuki motorcycle I once owned, there was a statement that when the coolant is changed the owner *must* also install BL. I'll never forget that. Now, imagine for a minute a Japanese motorcycle manufacturer specifying a US-made product, and in no uncertain terms stating that it must be used.

I use it because it has worked very well for me over a number of years. I have never heard a credible (i.e. evidentiary) claim that BL either doesn't work or causes problems of any kind. There aren't many products that I push with enthusiasm, but this is one that I do.
