The Professor seems to make rather a lot of statements without supporting evidences. Not saying that the Professor is wrong in this case, but some supporting argument or documentation would be far more effective than "The Professors states blah blah blah ...". After all, one of the purposes of this forum is for people to learn and exchange ideas, which is rather hard to do when someone is making pronouncements as if from on top of Mount Olympus.
After all, for all we know The Professor is consulting a Magic 8 Ball for his answers. We'll know for sure if we see "The Professor states, reply hazy, try again".
I've noticed that also.
Titanium dioxide is an AW additive but the "Liquid Titanium" advertising is certainly a marketing gimmick particularly in light of the fact that it is a cheaper alternative to moly which most premium oils already contain.
It doesn't matter if the alternative is cheaper, it matters how well it works. In fact, I'm all in favor of cheaper alternatives that work as well or better than existing alternatives. In fact, if it's "cheaper" enough, I might not care if it works as well, as long as it works well enough. It all boils down to a cost/benefit analysis.
