However, it dates from 1999. The last paragraph is significant, in that the authors note their findings have not yet been fleshed-out or verified by additional testing, and are based on limited data. Quite a lot may have happened in the succeeding ten years since that doc was written, but there's nothing new on the SwRI site. > > we read: "Testing with partially stressed oil, which contained some > wear debris, produced less wear than testing with clean oil." And this: "...many oil chemistries require time and temperature to enhance their effectiveness". I'm really curious what real-world lessons those statements and test results have for us car owners. They have a contact page, I see. Next week I'll submit a few questions to them in the hopes of getting an answer. Stay tuned... -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
