I would think the Aeroshell would give more deposits from the phosphorus content. You can try switchimg to Phillips 20W-50 and see what happens. And you will save yourself some money. Do you add additional Camguard when you add makeup oil? Ed

In over 11 years and millions of hours of Camguard use I have never heard of anything like what you describe. I am sure you are using Camguard Aviation at 5% by volume but what oil are you using? There is nothing in Camguard that will form the ash deposits you describe. Can you send me a half...

The Moly trimer provides better fuel economy retention and better wear protection than Moly DTC. It is three times the price of Moly DTC and is typically used at 50-100 ppm. I don't know yet which oils use it. I use it in specific racing applications and as a reactant to produce another...

We tried size distributions of less than 100nm to 1 micron. The larger particles settled out in low flow areas of the engines and the very small particles seemed to agglomerate into larger particles which settled out in low flow areas of the engines. We worked quite a bit on the dispersing of...

Nice job. A little information for you. MoS2 forms it's slick surface from the non-interactive exposed sulfur groups. It is NOT reactive towards dispersants/detergents, as it is not acidic. It is difficult to disperse in an oil as the sulfur/sulfur Van der Waal forces cause agglomeration (as...

Originally Posted By: bullwinkle Sorry-it is the SM, and it was in service for roughly 8 months. My wife is the primary driver, she does some short trips, but it gets fully warmed up several times a week at least, and if I drive it, it gets worked fairly hard (although I don't flog it too hard...

Originally Posted By: car54 Camguard sounds like a miracle in a bottle. Does it cure the common cold, or come with a kitchen sink? =) I'll have to give it a try sometime. Camguard is conceptually the additive package that I formulated for Exxon for the Elite. It proved to be too expensive. No...

Originally Posted By: TTK I don't understand the Lubrizol advertisements. Its not like you can go buy Hyper Zdp; furthermore, I don't think you can tell if any oil has the Hyper Zdp in it. Look for sodium in the oil analysis. It's Lubrizols GF5/dexos signature. Ed

Originally Posted By: CougarRed If there was an oil additive that could help prevent/lessen fuel dilution, that would add value IMO. BITOG member Ed Kollin has developed a product called Camguard Auto. (He also has a version of Camguard for airplanes). According to Ed, it helps prevent fuel...

Originally Posted By: harry j Ed, Would it be good to remove the RejeX while it is still a little wet? As RejeX points out it is not a good idea. You will reduce the film thickness and maybe the film integrity if you remove the haze while still wet. As far as building up thickness, you can...

Originally Posted By: Tempest What he said. I've got swirls because I left it on WAY to long and they don't come off once hardened. Great stuff otherwise. You can remove swirls and Rejex with polishing compound then reapply.

Originally Posted By: Tempest I bought a bottle about 4-5 years ago and the "consistency" seemed a little different than the bottle I bought 2 years ago. Both seemed to work just fine, though. One reason we switched manufacturers. Ed
