Oh ****, here comes the boom :)



Good thing our engine swill mix it up to prevent fallout.

To be fair MOS2 never goes “into suspension” I think the molecules are too large for the oil to hold them.

I’m still a believer in MOS2 but I completely understand its downfalls

yeah, change the oil warm I doubt there would be an issue, but as you can see it does exactly what we thought it does. I have no idea how that would be safe for a di turbo.

Very good point.

DI turbo and MOS2 do not mix.

I also think adding it to EVERY oil change may be a bad idea too.

For those of you using Lubegard are you doing the 3oz per qt of oil ratio they recommend?

I think it depends on what oil you are using. I wouldn't recommend this with redline, and some oils have more moly then others. A low or no moly oil I would do 15 ounces, a good moly oil like qsud-amsoil-t&g I would just dump a 10 ounce size in there. The only time I would recommend biotech with redline would be if redline didn't kill a tick. If you are fighting start up chatter or tick, 15 ounces for sure any non redline oil.

I don't like the strategy of mixing esters. Redline is about as stout as you can get, unless you had a nagging tick I wouldn't even think about adding lubegard to redline. I'd probably opt for a different oil and use the lubegard, which is a legit strategy.
