Titanium oil additive

[chiks]

Is there a Titanium additive in the market like liqui-moly? Maybe liqui-[censored]? Lol. But seriously the question still remains.

 

[Donald]

why??

Let the petroleum engineers determine the best additive package for a given oil. Don't play oil God.

 

[dparm]

I've never seen an add-in titanium product.

 

[yonyon]

Dude, if it exists and isn't too expensive, I want some! I could definitely see buying a half dozen liqui-tity bottles just to hang them on the christmas tree this year.

Nothing like some titanium grit to remove things like pesky cylinder hone patterns.

 

[Hallmark]

No need to search for a T additive...just go with ConocoPhillips Kendall GT-1 in syn or syn blend flavors.

Petro engineers just do it better.

The additive that is used in oils today is
titanium dioxide, nothing to do with the element you are thinking of.

 

[tommygunn]

Honestly the titanium "hype" has just begun...I.e. too new :S LOL so nobody likely has an additive on the market to add titanium to the oil yet Hehe

 

[chiks]

found this one...

LOL

looks like the cosmetic industry was on it before the auto oil industry. Laggards.

It isn't even titanium dioxide; it is titanium dithiocarbamate according to molekule. Solid vs. Soluble.

looks like the coke from hollywood.

I have a spool of titanium wire... I'll grind it up fine for you. I'm sure your engine will love ground metal particles.

 

[chiks]

tell that to Kendall

 

[Philippe_Boileau]

exactly. Do not use TiO2 Titanium Dioxyde in your oil it will be abrasive.

 

[MolaKule]

It now appears the Titanium is an oil soluble form of Titanium isopropoxide, another anti-oxidant and AW.

 

[GMorg]

I don't have any first hand experience with this compound, but it seems it would be very unstable in the presence of water.

Molecule (or anyone else), do you know why this compound doesn't react with water to form TiO2?

 

[MolaKule]

It is usually embedded in a succinimide dispersant or a hydroxyalkyl carboxylic ester.

 

[GMorg]

Clearly I am off base, but I would have never guessed an isopropoxide would be stable in an engine. Are other metal isopropoxides (Zr or Al) useful in oils or is Titanium unique?
