Good diesel lubricity test

I am not sure what the copyright of the document allows, so Ill only put the link to the MB forum where I found it.

Interesting read, that is for sure.

Note that MMO decreases the lubricity compared to plain diesel fuel.

Who is the independent research company that they used?

ah, the well known Diesel Place/Spicer collaboration. SWRI was the test company used, can't get any more respected than them.

This is a more direct link to the actual findings.

They seem legit . These findings rely totally on one test - a ball bearing oscillating back and forth to create a wear scar.
Sure, it's of value, but is that the whole story?

I noticed TCW3 2 stroke oil did well - how could it not?
MMO? A slight downturn in wear.

I would have liked to see the results with gasoline, as well as diesel fuel!

Shall BITOG charter a test? A paper, copyrighted copy to each contributor (so it is tougher to pirate)...
