What is residue left in bottle of LubeGuard?

[Islandvic]

I just used the AAMCO LubeGuard ATF protectant (1 and 1/2 bottles) in my '95 K1500 w/ 4l60e.

I poured one bottle in and looked inside at the bottom and there was this dark looking residue.

I poured half of the new bottle in the empty one, shook it around, then poured it back and forth shaking both, then poured half into the trans.

What is this stuff?

Is it the "Liquid Wax Esters" or "LXE" as the label says.

I have seen posts about residue in the bottles of AUTO-RX. Does AUTO-RX have liquid wax esters also?

Thanks!

I used a few Lubegard products. I still believe in Lubegard to some extent. I never noticed any sort of residue in the containers after using the product.

Lubgard products are developed from plant material and are intended to be a subsitute for sperm whale oil that used to be used but was banned when it became illegal to hunt sperm whales.

It used to be commonplace to see Lubegard automatic transmission supplements at automatic transmission shops. You can also find Lubegard power steering supplements and engine oil supplements.
