"Stop smoke" additives...??

[Pablo]

What is the thickener type product with the most AW additives?

I don't usually follow this stuff closely, but a fellow has a non-engine related application for an oil thickener.....but he does need the most AW stuff.

Which one has the goods?

 

[JAG]

VSOT is quite thick and decently fortified with AW additives. What's the application?

 

[Pablo]

Don't laugh....it's a motorized bike gear box. He's mixing 80W-140 gear oil 50/50 with some type of motor honey. I have better suggestions for what he should use, but I want to at least get him away from AW additive free thickener.

How come? what about Amsoil 250wt gear oil?

That is indeed my recommendation.

As I recall, Bruce put the

on using NGLI 2 grease mixed with gear oil in a similar thread/question. Use one with EP and he should be good.

Have the Amsoil lab send you 4 oz. of OCP Tackifier. The STP goo or the Supertech equivalent have OCP's with some ZDDP.

WHy not fill the gearbox with MTG? What kind of gears? If spur gears, then MTG should suffice.

 

[Pablo]

I have some tackifier already.

I was a bit thinking that MTG might be a little low in viscosity - the box only holds 4-5 oz of fluid. Simple box:

 

[MolaKule]

Well, try 0.5 oz of tackifier in a bottle of MTG.

I thought of one more thing Pablo; try CRC's StaLube CV joint lube. It has moly and is pretty sticky.
