IMO,the benifit of #132 is not the additive content but the carrier used,
The sliperiness of all additives I'm not sure how polar it is but it could be fractionizing at the surface of the metel producing a thicker lubricant film just at the surface,this is what I found that brought me to this conclusion. The Control of Friction by Molecular Fractionation of Base Fluid Mixtures at Metal Surfaces.
While not an ester I'm wondering if #132's surfactant is polar enough to act in this manner.

---

I am convinced it is, because part of the base fluid is an ester. I am not at liberty to disclose what type, but suffice to say this ester is a special fatty acid ester.

---

Hmmm, maybe I should jump on this stuff. I have been on a quest for an ester to give me the "start up" effect of hanging on the metal for reduced start up wear. This may just be the stuff I have been looking for.

I bet I have a bigger stock (and higher quality stuff) than a lot of gas stations.

The thead linked above had comment about a brew of 3 parts Schaeffers 132 and 1 part LC20 that produced low wear numbers and thickened an 10w30 to a high 30 or low 40.

How would a 0W-20 or 5W-20 with the 'brew' be in an engine spec'ed for 5w30?

In my case I have been using 8 ounces at the change and my used oil analysis comes back a low 40W 90% of the time. Is it the Amsoil or Schaeffers, don't know but since using the brew of 132 and LC my wear numbers do seem to be lower all around. All my cars are spec at a *W30.

I see the Schaeffer web site also says it reduces oil consumption. This might be good in my wife's Aerostar 3.0 which has used nearly 3 quarts in 4000 miles.

I have 4 gals. of Mola Brew so I use it as needed.

I remembered the 3:1 ratio but don't remember how much of the Brew to use per quart of motor oil. Anyone care to add that to this thread.
Thanks in advance
