Terry,
Please don't take this the wrong way as I'm just going to state what's on my mind here.
I'm a little concerned about this for a couple of reasons.
1- the obvious, no api certification
2- cost of testing for long term effects on
corrosion, wear,and general all around
astm tests to establish it's over all ability
although the analysis would be an excellent
start.
3- You will be mixing your oils and not blending.
Blending is what is done under certain
controled heated conditions, giving you a
more blended result where as, take something
like stp, it will seperate or coragulate more
in some areas than in other area. This is due
to mixing more so than blending. Blending is
what oil companies do to manufacture a
consistant suspended lubricant. This is one
reason why you'll find some oils and
additives that tend to have a seperation
problem where the blending process was not
properly done.
4. These are just some of the basic reasons I
have and there is a couple more which I
have.
There is no question that a super lubricant can be made, but then the question of price comes to play as you'd obviously want to incorporate say a top knotch actual full synth like synlube for example, some type of barrier additives (combination of zddp's, moly,soluble type of other additive) then touch it up with say some of the auto rx. Ad all that to this type of combination and what I see is a high price experiment. Sorry Terry, just think there would have to be more to this than just a witches mix(oh, btw, they too use a heated source to blend their brew).
I myself don't want to see a bunch of people going out and trying to substitute something you suggest and since not available where ever, then put something else in its place as well, then really causing problems for them, and then again, maybe liability would become an issue in light of the fact that it doesn't matter, right or wrong, some still will push the panic button and yell fowl!.
