For which agent or function? The short list was an example of commercially available compounds (or their derivatives) that could be used in an EV fluid and currently being tested for component compatibilities. I know that synthesized Phosphonium-based ionic fluids have better thermal stability...

The 2,5 dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole has strong linkages which has a low probability of free sulfur disassociation at elevated temps. The oxidative and temperature stability of any molecule is an important consideration here. Recall I said 'derivatives,' in which I meant 'types' of similar...

Just relating some experience with my 2012 Frontier with the same engine. I use mostly 5W30 in the winter and 10W30 in the summer, all fully synthetic formulated oils. I have over 100,000 miles on it now and no oil consumption and no leaks. OCI is 3500 to 5000 miles, depending on garage temp...

True, the ester(s) needed would have to be low viscosity esters in the range of potentially say 2.5 to 4.5 cSt to reduce energy (pumping) losses and to promote efficient cooling. We are assuming a closed loop cooling system similar to an AT system that touches electric motors, control...

Any refined oils, even Group I is clear with just a very slight amber tint to it. A mixture of organic dyes can get you whatever tint you want. I once formulated a Pink oil with Lavender scents for a blender who wanted to cater to women. It didn't go well. Women who sent in comments said they...

Schaeffer Oil has never been out of love. Unless you have been living in a cave for the past 22 years many members have used it and reported various results with it. Do a search on Schaeffer's or go to their web site at...

I like these guys too! ZZ Squatch.

Her research interests are Quantum Gravitation so she is no dummy.

Yes, even after all of the discussions we have had on BITOG. Do a search on "Question of the Day" where in the past we discussed most if not all of these additive components. "Oxidation inhibitors, detergents, and dispersants make up the general class of additives called stabilizers and deposit...

What better base oils would you be referring to? There are all kinds of new synthesized base oils that are being tested for formulations. Different combinations of different types of base oils and different viscosities can result in better performance.

"Astrophysicists keep finding things that “shouldn’t exist”. I think I know why. Another look at Astrophysics and why their predictions fail.

My experience is that with a good Physics foundation, you can work for just about any scientific or technically-oriented company, be it in research or engineering. "Branching-out" I think is the keyword. Keep your options open.

I find her comments portray the reality of current academia.

In case you missed this topic, here is a write-up on two-cycle oils: While this may be your first set of analyses for 2-C oil, there is really nothing controversial or strange about the analysis. There are different strokes for different folks - pun intended. There are various approaches to...
