This additive additive is a Protective Additive.
This additive forms surface films so that metal surfaces do not catalyze oil oxidation.
I.E, this chemical keeps metals in the engine from reacting with oxygen in the oil to inhibit oxidation of the oil. Copper, iron, and other metals can react with oxygen to "speed-up" chemical reactions that lead to oil oxidation, which we know degrades the oil and leads eventually to sludge.
This additive may also be part of a multifunctional anti-oxidant/AW package as well.
What is the functional name, not the chemical name , name of this additive?
I will supply the chemical names later.
