Rob, I sit and read the reports of amazing power gains that the latest and greatest devices will give.
The way to handle these claimants is to let them talk. Don't cut them off in their prime. They will tell you all they know in about two paragraphs. Then you can cut them up.
I mean QUOTE :
Description of Test: CLR Research Engine Test (5W30 "energy conserving" motor oils)
Engine Type Fuel Savings Emissions Reductions4
Royal PurpleŽ vs.
Brand Name mineral oil Gasoline 4.5%
@1200 RPM
5.0%
@1600 RPM
NOx was over 50% lower @1200 RPM where complete combustion occurred. CO levels with RP were low at all loads - RP tended to prevent incomplete combustion.
Royal PurpleŽ vs.
Premium synthetic oil Gasoline 2.5%
@1200 RPM
3.0%
@1600 RPM "
What do these numbers prove.? "NOx was over 50% lower @1200 RPM."
Oxides of Nitrogen are caused by high combustion chamber temps. How hot do you think the chamber would be at 1200 RPM? thats a fast idle
Why did they not test it at full power?
"RP tended to prevent incomplete combustion."
That would have to be the most outrageous statement that I have seen in print.
Stay cool Rob, let them undo themself. Just be paitent.
Harvey.
