![]() We also don't know how much of the wickedly heavy viscosity is achieved from the base oil itself or the VII they are dosing the product with.Īs I already noted, increased line pressure and reduction in friction modification can stop slip. The product masks underlying mechanical issues by primarily increasing the viscosity considerably ( otherwise it wouldn't be so heavy) and potentially altering the friction modifying characteristics, depending on what else they are putting in it.Īnd no, while the SDS isn't a recipe, it shows that the majority of the product consists of the cheapest base oil imaginable with a VI that's so low it's laughable. ![]() No wizard in a bottle has the ability to actually repair a mechanical issue and I assume you are aware of that despite the language you've used. It does increase viscosity, considerably, and everything you ascribe to other ingredients may in fact just be a function of the viscosity increase as I already mentioned. It is a separate discussion whether or not anyone needs a fuel treatment or an upper cylinder lubricant, whether they are at effective concentrations compared to what you pay for it, and the like. Chevron also claims they are effective at deposit control in engines. Those compounds are dispersants used in gasoline. ![]() I cannot seem to find the original post since Bob changed over to the new message board software. People here were also speculating that Lucas Fuel Treatment UCL was nothing more than a high viscosity oil too, and then MolaKule posted an analysis of it here many years ago, and the Lucas UCL contained both polyisobutylene (PIB) and polyisobutylene succinic anhydride (PIBSA). I can say Lucas Transmission Fix worked for me. A lot of competing products have seal-swellers and the like too so that would be a good thing in this case. I do see you are saying may and maybe though. Lucas Transmission Fix is not the same as their oil stabilizer though, and until someone posts a chemical analysis of Transmission Fix to the contrary, it seems you are speculating here.
