It apparently has no anti-foaming additives, so when you add it to your oil, you are diluting the additives in the regular oil. There was an article on the <a href="http://bobistheoilguy.com">bobistheoilguy.com</a> website some years back that showed in graphic detail what happens with this additive whether it’s used in a gearbox or an engine. Unfortunately I can only find an archived version of this article and the photos are no longer visible. The photos I remember showed the oil turning a much lighter color after it had been thoroughly agitated, which meant it was filled with air bubbles. Air compresses, so I can see a connection between aerated oil and a drop in oil pressure.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'><a href="http://tinyurl.com/o6atjh8">http://tinyurl.com/o6atjh8</a></span></b><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Duncan<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>(Texas)<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Sep 12, 2015, at 3:02 AM, MadMarx <<a href="mailto:tr4racing@googlemail.com">tr4racing@googlemail.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Hello Alex,</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I was told to use mineral Lucas with synthetic oil.
