Did Lubegard Biotech kill your hemi tick??

[Burla]

Sorry if I missed it but would this be suitable for a vehicle that isnt driven often? I know some products have additives that will settle in the oil pan and can cause some issues. Is there anything that will not stay suspended in the oil during long sitting periods?

biotech is oil soluble moly, so it wouldnt settle out. mos2 is powdered moly, that is a different type of moly that falls out of suspension.

thank you very much!

I dont have the tick. But I run Lubegard in hopes of preventing it along with PUP 5w-30. My engine is purrrrfect. Its only slightly noisy if I get some questionable 93 octane due to the tune, but its not a tick.

 

[Burla]

thank you very much!

Lubegard (blue/green) versus mos2, one just poured out and the other used near boiling water with dawn soap, the lubegard still stuck to sides of glass. Mind you this is not mixed with oil, but you can see some of the properties. The two oils that still gas some sticking on the sides was lubegard and redline, the others glasses were clean. It is the additives and base oils on these products that kill hemi tick and why other oils don't.

I use Lubegard after seeing it mentioned here. I've never had the tick.

As to the glass thing. When did the Hemi come in glass? My 6.4l is metal.

The intake and valve covers etc., are basically composite plastic

Remember…Exhaust manifold bolts are made of glass.

OK

But what about the glass motor? Is it better then the metal one?

Good luck trying to get a visual of lubegard at 200f after a dawn soak inside a metal container. However, it is much easier from the arm chair then the actual spot, just say'n.

Some guys need a picture Mike,and even then they still don't get it,this is one example of somebody not getting it

It's not that I don't appreciate your comments. BUT, good testing is about limiting the variable to get good results. Using glass is not good testing. Something might stick to glass well but not to metal.

Good testing is about limiting variable and testing for purpose.

The only variable should be the Lubegard (same motor oil & proper proportions).

The purpose is the anti wear properties of lubegard.

This guy is not perfet BUT watch how he test antiwear.

If it'll stick to glass,it'll stick to any machined surface inside the engine.Mikes test is as good as the test you're referring to in regard to testing the cling factor of a liquid,which is what he was demostrating

 

[Burla]

Not only glass, but glass that had 200f liquid in it, meaning it was close to operating temp of truck.

Polar molecules attract to metal surfaces.
Nonpolar molecules do not.

Polyol Ester base oil is polar (Red Line)
Poly Alpha Olefin is not (Amsoil, HPL)

All this stuff is easily searchable. Don't have to be a chemist.

Where did you get your degree in metallurgy and testing?

It's not about 'cling factor' it is about metal wear.

I know for sure you could do it better, so I hope you do. When done post up those results in this thread.

So it is the operating temperature of glass?

It isn't about 'attract' it is about wear.
