Hi, all. New member, first post.
Has anyone seen / heard of / used this product before?
ArchOil AR9300 Nanoceramic
It's supposedly got a Coefficient of Friction of 0.003, which is better than any other additive I've ever seen.
Its component ingredients, according to ArchOil, are:
SiO2 42%
MgO 38%
Other 14.65%
Al2O3 1.95%
Fe2O3 3.50%
CaO 0.30%
Na2O 0.30%
TiO2 0.11%
MnO 0.09%
A 4-ounce bottle treats 5 quarts of oil, and costs $49.95.
Some questions:
1) If I've already used ZDDP and LiquiMoly Ceratec in the engine, would this help, hurt, have no effect?
2) For an aluminum-block engine, would the ingredients in this cause any problems?
3) Is this compatible with tungsten disulfide? I'm putting in new hybrid ceramic bearings from MicroBlue that are micro-polished and treated with tungsten disulfide, would this oil additive cause the WS2 to be removed from the metal surface?
4) As regards the WPC metal treatment, I'll be having it done to the cylinder, rings and piston skirts... would this treatment negate the WPC treatment, given that one of its claims is to "restore areas worn by friction", which I would take to mean it fills in any asperities in the metal surface. The WPC treatment intentionally creates a microscopically dimpled surface to hold more oil and reduce sliding friction surface area.
Thanks for any info you can provide.
