Titanium is gone

If you want tungsten, go with Rislone Nano Prime. Works great in my Benz E350.

Do you have a gasser or Bluetec?

Good old “nano” to wow the county fair crowd.

Yes. Try it and you'll see your oil consumption go down.

 

[techsurfer]

Do you have a gasser or Bluetec?

Gas. It will work with diesel, too.

Yes. Try it and you'll see your oil consumption go down.

Nah I see through such nonsense. New user relentlessly advocating some additive? Yeah.

So how much torque and hp I am getting with this Nano thing?

If you want tungsten just buy oil formulated with tungsten. Some Ravenol come with
it, even including MB approvals.
Some decades ago Castrol sold oils with tungsten. Late 1970s Castrol GTX2 15W-50
also had tungsten. That's what my dad was running in his oil burning Mk1 Rabbit at
that time.

 

[OVERKILL]

Forget the 0w-xx, they're just blanket oils that cover every possible temp. scenario. Go for a targeted 5w-30, like Red Line High Performance.

The 0w-xx oils have some of the most difficult to obtain approvals. Highly amusing that you then jump from that statement to pitching a product that has zero formal approvals at all.

And pitching redline constantly as well.

It's commonly in the form of titanium isopropoxide.

Most people I'd bet associate titanium with metal. And why on earth would you put metal in oil... so people either thought they were crazy, or they just had very bad marketing folks.

TiO2 was also recently classified as a carcinogen in EU.

I nabbed six quarts of Castrol 0W-30 formulated with unobtanium at a local Dollar General right next to a clearance shelf of;

I emailed BP. Yeah, I know. Crazy of me.

Doesn't matter to me anymore because you guys all drove the Wallyworld price of C3 up so I'd have to buy Pennzoil. I know it was a plot.

Isn’t the LL c3 approved? It’s only $24

Yes, but this is BITOG so I had to complain!

Nobody is putting elemental titanium in the oil, it is a compound. Just as nobody eats elemental sodium in sodium chloride.

I'm sure you've seen elemental sodium in water - that one valence electron makes all the difference!

I wonder what those same people would associate molybdenum with?

Imagine zinc, magnesium
Calcium too, but less
