Looking to reduce my NOx.
I know I can replace the O2's and cats but that will cost more than the Land Cruiser is worth.
I use to use G-Oil to reduce my emissions for emission testing 2 years ago.
G-Oil must be going under as no one sells it and what is left is very pricey with shipping.
G-Oil claims "Provide significant reductions in HC (hydrocarbons -32%), CO (carbon monoxide -48%) and NOx (nitrous oxides -80% emissions"
My NOx needs to go down from 5.3 PPM to 4 PPM.
Motor does use oil, 94 Land Cruiser has 457,000 mi on it.
I am running Delo400 LE Syn 5w40 with one bottle Motor Oil Saver Liqui-Moly.
What is the base oil for Delo400 LE Syn 5w40?
From my research.
"Certain base oil types are more susceptible to nitration than others. Base oils with saturated hydrocarbon structures, such as polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetics and hydrotreated paraffinic oils, seem to be less prone to nitration. Lower viscosity base oils and viscosity index improver additives used in some multigrade oils may be more likely to experience nitration."
Would I be better with a straight weight heaver weight oil like a 50w or 60w oil?
In summer I run 15w40 HDMO with 2 bottles of Motor Oil Saver. Its an 8qt sump. So my oil is much heaver with added Motor Oil Saver.
I use to run Liqui Moly 10w40 mos2 with 1 or 2 bottle of Motor Oil Saver but Napa increased the price and was too thick for winter use. This combo reduced my start up smoke better than other combo. The start up smoke with Rotella T6 5w40 and Delo 400 LE 5w40 is not bad but not as good as the MOS2 oil. Not sure if its the MOS2 in the oil that helped or its the type of base oil that Liqui Moly uses?
I am going to do a catalytic converter cleaning with citric and oxalic acid maybe this weekend. Had good luck with it 2 years ago but still had to use the G-Oil to get the NOx down enough to pass.
