What oil is best? and what ratio?

[thomas1]

Big words with no real world differences

I stripped the paint from the inside of my oil tank, 40% increase with no other mods.

Bull! Alot of difference in thoso 2 oils. If u want a cleaner auto engine do u run regular or super? More additives to clean the engine. More cleaners and anti friction additives in RA vs Powerblend. Find another OPE oil that has all thoso

Another component that RA has that Powerblend doesnt -----Ester Chemistry

In many ways esters are very similar to the more commonly known and used synthetic hydrocarbons or PAOs. Like PAOs, esters are synthesized from relatively pure and simple starting materials to produce predetermined molecular structures designed specifically for high performance lubrication. Both types of synthetic basestocks are primarily branched hydrocarbons which are thermally stable, have high viscosity indices, and lack the undesirable and unstable impurities found in conventional petroleum based oils. The primary structural difference between esters and PAOs is the presence of oxygen in the hydrocarbon molecules in the form of multiple ester linkages (COOR) which impart polarity to the molecules. This polarity affects the way esters behave as lubricants in the following ways:

Volatility: The polarity of the ester molecules causes them to be attracted to one another and this intermolecular attraction requires more energy (heat) for the esters to transfer from a liquid to a gaseous state. Therefore, at a given molecular weight or viscosity, the esters will exhibit a lower vapor pressure which translates into a higher flash point and a lower rate of evaporation for the lubricant. Generally speaking, the more ester linkages in a specific ester, the higher its flash point and the lower its volatility.

Lubricity: Polarity also causes the ester molecules to be attracted to positively charged metal surfaces. As a result, the molecules tend to line up on the metal surface creating a film which requires additional energy (load) to wipe them off. The result is a stronger film which translates into higher lubricity and lower energy consumption in lubricant applications.

Detergency/Dispersency: The polar nature of esters also makes them good solvents and dispersants. This allows the esters to solubilize or disperse oil degradation by-products which might otherwise be deposited as varnish or sludge, and translates into cleaner operation and improved additive solubility in the final lubricant.

I got the same increase when I licked a 9 volt battery

 

[Keith Gandy]

Red armor has ester and power blend doesnt. 10-30%.

Yep. Theres big difference in makeup of oils if one takes the time to look. All 2t oils arent equal. RA also has more highly refined bases vs Powerblend

 

[Keith Gandy]

Anyway I was just wanting to lookup Powerblends makeup and maybe get some and try it and decided to compare to RA but think Ill stick with RA. RA also has a fuel stabalizer in it

Thanks for all the testing you do, your results really inspire me to maintain my sobriety.

Wait till I get my FLIR gun and start testing underpants [emoji106]

 

[Joe Kidd]

Another RA has that Powerblend doesnt-----

FRICTION MODIFIERS AND/OR WEAR INHIBITORS DERIVED FROM
HYDROCARBYL AMINES AND CYCLIC CARBONATES

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that you might like Red Armor oil?

I'm very interested in these results, I have a friend who often tells me about his "hot sharts", butt it would be nice to log the results on the backside.

CYCLIC CARBS

I get those every morning eatin my Cheerios.

Now where where you get that idea ?

Here's a better highly refined base.

Just stick a thermocouple in.......ehhh.. nevermid

 

[Ron660]

Those are a good combo ,lightweight with pretty good power
And i hear banana oil works pretty good in them .

What oil ratio did you settle on?

 

[junkman]

What oil ratio did you settle on?

40 to 1 seems to work ok

 

[Keith Gandy]

Here's a better highly refined base.

I highly refined a base that looked just like that last night with 40to1 astroglide added

Was she slapping it like that too? You know...curious minds want to know
