Apologies if this has been done to death somewhere before my time.
When engineers/tribologists refer to a given percentage of additive package does it have any real meaning to we great unwashed? I have heard reference here to a 30% pack and have been directly told 12% pack by a major supplier engineer. The questions seem to be:
1. Does higher mean anything other than "more"?
2. If it does, does it give us an indication of what those adds may be?
3. Are there steps in between or are there more and indeed less than a given number?
4. Why, outside of cost?
5. Further, could one assume that the addpacks vary all the time in actual production?
