Valvoline Restore and Protect skepticism

[tired]

Aniline point with esters kinda late to the Redline game, anyway solvents in there also <.5% read sds

It's doubtful that magic ingredient is a solvent.

Guess I missed that, so what official technical information shows that to be the case with VRP? What would say they aren't using a controlled aniline point in the formulation to do the deposit cleaning at a slow pace, and formulated in order to be used infinite OCIs?

From everything I read the only thing I picked up on specifically (via LSJ's visit to Valvoline Lab) was what Dr. England said in that they synthesized some new molecule. They mentioned a lab in Mumbai, India.

VRP should be thought of as novel. It's not an existing technology or additive. It's proprietary to Valvoline.

An oil with the solvency greater than Valvoline Premium Blue Restore without the negative aspects that come with esters that can be ran continuously.

Whatever it is, it has a unique ability to breakdown ring carbon which is very tenacious.

Dave G. from Redline told me a few times that the esters used in Red Line ran clean but wouldn't clean. I thought that was interesting. With so many esters though it makes sense. But initially I was surprised by that.

Yes, and they haven't patented the new molecule because that would put all the information out into view and start the 20 year countdown for other companies to have full use of it.

By keeping it unpatented, they are betting that other companies cannot replicate the molecule on their own - probably a decent assumption because all of their videos on VRP seem to indicate they stumbled on it partially by chance. It's like the Coke formula: if you can keep it secret instead of patenting it, you can use it indefinitely. Same reason why they won't submit for a Dexos license.
