In the controlled test, we used his current lubricant set up. Using 13 quarts of their base oil, 1 quart of a stabilizer and 1 quart of a Zinc-heavy Additive, this created the traditional blend this team has used for a few years. All parts, (Pistons, Bearings and Rods) were brand new for this pass. The end results of this first pass are noted in the first piston shown titled (WITHOUT METTLE ARMOR). This piston came from cylinder number 1. There was very little damage done to the engine, however the piston showed significant skirt wear as you can see in this picture. Bearing wear was also significant as we have noted in previous tests, (I have attached this photo for reference).
We pulled the entire rack of pistons, rods and bearings and put in a fresh pack into the engine for our 2nd test, which took place in hotter conditions on Saturday early afternoon. For this test, we used the base oil, but increased the volume to 14 quarts of 70 wt Oil and we added 16 oz of our Z-Alt 10X Infuzed Moly Oil Booster, giving us similar volume of 'lubricants' to this same engine, same oil pump and same tune-up.
The results of this test are clearly shown in the second picture indicated as WITH METTLE ARMOR. This piston also came from cylinder number 1. You can see the difference in the two, as reduced piston skirt is obvious, cylinder wear was also reduced as was bearing and crank shaft wear. The car also improved by nearly a tenth of a second in elapsed time from their previous run. You can also see the 'shine' on the piston left from the Infuzed Moly still sticking to the piston.
This significant difference was due to only 16 oz of our 10X Oil Booster. The results of having the same Infuzed Moly based technology in our METTLE ARMOR 70 wt Nitro/Alcohol Racing Oil are more impressive. http://www.mettle-armor.com/
