I had EVERY SINGLE internal component of my motor (along with the transmission guts, and parts of the LSD) treated with WPC, with the provided 3rd party testing showing between 22.8 and 34.11 percent reduction in friction, but despite this GENUINE, PROVEN method, I run at the same temperature as ever?
Did I pick up a decent bit of power from the reduction in parasitic losses? You bet!
Does my thermostat read ANYTHING but the exactproper tempera ture once warmed up? (have a pair of 4-point temp sensors, one for water and one for oil, readout on a pair of LCD gauges independent of the car's own sensors, and accurate to 0.05F)...
NO!
This thread is getting to be nothing but pseudo pseudo-science...
I agree. Temps won't go down because the engine is thermostatically controlled to operate at that temp however it may take longer to achieve that operating temp.
Less drag equals less parasitic loss equal less energy to spin the engine with no load means less fuel consumption.
Your right. Without some before and after mpg figures tracked over multiple thousands of miles(like I did with mos2) then this whole thread is basically drivel.
If someone is actually gonna try this stuff PLUUUUHEEEEEEEEESE track a few thousand miles of fuel consumption then add this stuff at oil change time,using the same oil and filter as the previous sump fill to reduce and potential inconsistencies and then track mileages after treatment.
We can all agree that if friction is reduced fuel economy will increase so we can use that data to infer if the stuff does reduce friction.
I'm sticking with ceratec until someone does like I did last year and put 10000 miles into actual honest testing.
