Does that mean the Archoil is interferring with the detergents and dispersants in the HD oil?
HD oils are formulated with high levels of detergents and dispersants so as to scoop up and suspend soot and other hydrocarbon particulates, hence HD oils should darken from soot and other hydrocarbon particulates during operation.
