There are a few people here who maybe could answer your questions. Molakule here has been involved in formulation of lubricates. But even if all of us here were lubrication chemists you have to realize that the people who develop a product might not be willing to discuss that product in detail. I think that should be obvious. There are some highly skilled people who come to this website including some people with degrees in chemistry, computer technology, etc. But I am sure nobody here was involved in the development of MMO and even if they had been they probably would not be allowed to discuss in detail exactly how it works. If you go to the Lubegard website they discuss in general terms how Lubegard technology works. Few companies will disclose trade secrets.
And I doubt very seriously if you will be able to obtain detailed scientific documentation on any of these products, regardless if you are talking about MMO, Kreen, Auto-RX Plus, or whatever. Why should a company be willing to disclose detailed information about their products that might make it possible for somebody to copy their technology?
If you have doubts about the technology used in these products I would guess that Kano Labs, the developer of Kreen, has some ability to develop chemical products. And in the case of Lubegard products a chemist who had worked for Exxon was involved in the development of their products.
If you are worried about the solvents in MMO having some undesirable effect on motor oil, engine seals, or engine parts my advice is-don't use MMO! MMO has been in use since 1923. If the solvents in MMO wrecked automobile engines I think we would have some evidence of that by now. It is not as if MMO is some rare product. I can buy MMO at my local Wal-Mart Store.
This is a website that deals with automotive subjects and maintenance, discussion about motor oils, oil additives, oil filters, etc. We are not back engineering products developed by some company. Mostly you will find anecdotal evidence here about how products work. I doubt anybody here has the funding necessary to have a product studied in detail by a team of chemists.
You seem to place no value on anecdotal evidence. Well, I personally think 40 years of experience with MMO, such as demarpaint possesses, counts for something.
You came to this website saying that your mechanic had suggested you use MMO. But you never said anything about what kind of car you had, what if any mechanical problems you were experiencing, and why your mechanic suggested you use MMO. Now you are demanding that we supply some detailed chemical discussion about exactly how the solvents in MMO interact with motor oil, engine parts, etc. I don't know what you really want. If you are anti-MMO, than I suggest you simply not use it. Stick to OEM approved motor oils, etc. Frankly, I have tried various engine cleaners and oil supplements but I am not extremely pro-engine cleaner and pro-oil supplement myself. And right now I am only using a little MMO in my lawnmower. It still seems to run.
