@Superhawk996
I think you could also talk more about what the significance of oxidation is in the motor i.e. a transition from at neutral pH to a more acidic compound that acts as an electrolytic compound. One of my personal techniques is to never let an engine sit with old oil for prolonged periods. |

One of my personal techniques is to never let an engine sit with old oil for prolonged periods. Valid point. I think the recommendation even with synthetics is to change at least once a year for that reason. I've also seen it lobbied to change once every six months to coincide with tire rotation . . . ya all are doing that too right? I'm not a Tribologist . . . I only play one on this forum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |
