Darrenc,
"Molakule,
Explain to me your experience running Lube Control in conjunction with Schaeffers #132. I’m considering running Schaeffers 700 15W-40 with some LC and 132 in my Jeep. If I don’t run the 700, I’ll probably run some Amsoil AME with the same additives/supplements. What application rate would you run? Your opinion is appreciated."
My original reasons for using LC and 132 were:
1.) To slightly increase viscosity for oils on the "low" side of viscosities, such as M1 SS 10W30,
2.) decrease oxidation and stabilize TBN,
3.) increase moly content and add another AW and anti-corrision additve such as Antimony DTC to lubricants that lack same.
4. Increase detergency chemistry using 132's surfactant "penetro".
IF you are going to be using Schaeffer's products, such as #700 that already has moly and penetro additives, I would not add any 132. I would use Lube Control at 3 oz. per 5 quarts for this viscosity of oil, and 1 oz. every 1,000 miles.
If you are using Amsoil AME, you could use Lube Control at 1 oz. per 5 quarts, with about 3 oz. of 132 supplement, and 1 oz. of Lube Control every 1,000 miles.
When using the #132 supplement, remove the cap, break the foil seal, replace the cap, and warm it to about 95 F in a pot of hot tap water, preferably "outside the kitchen." This makes it easier to add to oils.
Monitor oil and engine condition with Used Oil Analysis with particular emphasis on wear metals, tbn, and oxidation.
