There many different types of ester for differing applications.
Auto-RX is a superb crankcase and machine cleaner.
Look in this section for esters; there is even a picture of dibasic acid esters here

Thank you! It is tough to ask a question about ARX, as it has a passionate following here. Many of the posts tell you it works and works slowly and gently. I have been unsure how, and some have been critical when I asked. I don't doubt anyone's observations. On the other hand my son swears he observes improvement with STP, and a solvent flush.
My father and one son are Chemical engineers, I guess intelligence skips a generation. However, You laid that out so
that even a challanged individual as myself could understand.
Thanks again. That should be a sticky.
p.s. Are you aware of any lab studies done comparing detergents (calcium/phosophorus) or esthers, and their ability to dissolve/remove carbon deposits?
