Ok...so after reading the report what am I missing? I have always used it as a passive type cleaner that would prevent engine deposits from forming, or gently clean what may already be there (by gentle I mean not as harsh as say a 5 minute motor flush, WD40 flush, etc.) Your analysis shows that it does, in fact have that capability. I also use it in the gas tank as a fuel system cleaner/lubricant, it looks like it works for that too. Im not understanding why some here still demonize this stuff? I dont claim that it will increase your libido, make you taller or grow more hair, but it looks like it lives up to it's intended use!
Here's another that's been posted many times before, which I've borrowed from time to time in threads.
Composition:
70% Light Aromatic Oil (Pale Oil)
- It is a Naphthenic Oil, so while it oxidizes faster than a Paraffinic oil, it does clean and dissolve sludge and carbon well and cleans up after itself from any oxidation. serves as base oil as well. [Naphthenic oils have more solvency and are more polar (they are attracted to metal more), but oxidize faster.
29% Mineral Spirits
- Cleans Varnish very well. General cleaner. Also acts as an antioxidant.
38 parts per million (ppm) Boron
- AW/EP agent, friction reducer, antioxidant
900 ppm Phosporous
- AW/EP agent
1/2% 1, 2 ortho-Dichlorobenzene
- EP agent as it interacts with Iron to form an Iron chloride barrier under any ZDDP or other AW additives. Also very good cleaner/solvent, and friction reducer
1/4% 1, 4 para-Dichlorobenzene
- EP agent as it interacts with Iron to form an Iron chloride barrier under any ZDDP or other AW additives. Also very good cleaner/solvent, and friction reducer
Oil of wintergreen - for the scent
- Not just for the cent, is also a cleaner. may aid lubricity.
Red Dye - for the color
- well this one just colors the stuff.
jk_636, if that comment was directed my way I don't see any demonizing involved but merely reporting what we found in the lab as of April 2014, except for the sulfur of course.
demarpaint, for the analysis you posted, who did the analysis, when was it done, and who made the comments?
That particular analysis is all over the web. Origin unknown as far as I've found.
