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" class="">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 Unfortunately I can only find an archived version of this article and the photos are no longer visible.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.<div class=""><br class=""><div class=""><div class=""><b style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" class=""><a href="http://tinyurl.com/o6atjh8" class="">http://tinyurl.com/o6atjh8</a></b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Duncan</div><div class="">(Texas)</div><div class=""><b class=""><br class=""></b><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Sep 12, 2015, at 3:02 AM, MadMarx <<a href="mailto:tr4racing@googlemail.com" class="">tr4racing@googlemail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">Hello Alex,<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class=""> </span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">I was told to use mineral Lucas with synthetic oil.
