Feel better! The product I was referring to was their cleaner. IIRC it is a straight 30 grade. I was wondering if it could be used for a full OCI in a small dose, as a maintenance dose. EG 2-3 ounces/quart, added to your favorite oil, so 10-15 ounces in a 5 quart sump, or something along those lines.
That may be what I am doing. I just had my oil and filter changed on the 9th, but it has already endured at least 1500 miles of high speed, in the rain, driving. Both long highway and short trips.. my oil filter had a strange color thanks to an additive called MoS2 .. I also added LiquiMoly Ceratec, which has a strange almost like cinnamon cream color to it.. I've also previously added in Restore!, which I was not happy about.
Part of my motivation to go to Illinois tomorrow (I probably can. Then promptly hit the road) is to clean up this crazy cocktail of additives, all which had the goal of reducing friction, above and beyond whatever mystery oil my shop installed would do. It was likely not needed, and I suspect that the Ceratec in particular may have built up in places or shouldn't. My aggressive driving also at one point yielded what I can only believe was the Restore! product being blasted loose, which looks like the dreaded glitter oil. You have glitter oil, you either have bearings dying, or the Restore! (horrible product, do not recommend) is coming out in the same way cooling system stop leak (again, gold flakes) would look in coolant. That particularly unnerving sight has since been rectified, my oil filter also showed no evidence of bearing material.
Apologies on the rant, but. As I sit here waiting on my pay, I would have been headed north by now and well on my way.. it is my intention to use the product in the way you pondered in your post, demarpaint. A maintenance dose, if you will. My fuel is healthily dosed with a high PEA content additive, you waste it if you used too much, gas tank on E so great time to put it in... Gumout Regane, 2 bottles since on below 1/4 tank. PEA does the deep scrubbing of the fuel system. Full tank when direct deposit comes in.
It is in the same way, this excellent product - which appears to have the benefit of a Seafoam like application as well, if I read that post correctly - should really make my oil filter actually do some work, it was commented that my oil looked clean a couple of months ago but things have been moving so fast and yes, I've had to drive 100mph or so
more than once to make time, see the thread
driving like maniacs (I did so at night on wide open highways where the only threat was to me, via police, alas, none. Still should not have but. There it is) that with the addition of a sub-par additive cocktail, I got the Ceratec for free and additive does no good on a shelf when your car drives coast to coast every month, sometimes twice, thousands of miles...... I am looking forward to cleaning.
Perhaps a problem was created where none exists. This is possible.
Quick update, Dave from High Performance Lubricants reached out to me, and offered to give me a
tour of the plant! I am humbled and thankful. Merry Christmas to me! I just may take him up on that, too. I love things of a technical nature. I am proud of every little detail, performance enhancements, quality tires, etc etc on my limited selection of vehicles and, safety first, if I did not head out tonight one last time before resting, I would not have discovered that I have a passenger side low beam out on my car. This makes me leary of driving at night, you would expect a heavy police presence at least when the sun goes down on major interstate roads, as that is when people start to drink and then may drive home, for those who celebrate tomorrow's wonderful and glorious events, especially those here but by the grace. This is a big deal. I read of all the tales of how folks drive, where, how crazy etc.. one headlight should make you a sitting duck, as far as a target. I've made a resolution, to drive and never get stopped again, for personal reasons. Therefore, driving tonight is out (unless I drive with high beams. Thinking about it. But safety first, as my profession instills safety in everything we do, that 100-110mph business to get to work from hundreds of miles away can stay between us. Not to be repeated.)
I just may save an oil filter or 2 or 3 or 4 for some more cut-opens, that is a different venture of a media nature and beyond the scope of this discussion.. although, all I am saying is, I do not have the means to start with a fresh oil fill. ~2000 miles into oil changed on the 9th, holding moly additives in suspension, mixed with Seafoam cleanings (intake, also water) and added to because I suspect an oil leak.. means I will monitor my oil level, see of it darkens quickly as color has been thrown off the last two oil changes thanks to the Liqui and Lubro Moly products, and if I can tell a difference, placebo effect is a real thing but I am excited for this product.
This company's offer is outstanding.. can only offer nothing but praise so far. Good people here. And I am sure a fine product.
I can go out of my way 100 miles to get it, that is nothing. I just need my headlight, so.. hurry up, morning!
