If your a professional chemist and know before hand if boric acid in motor oil is compatible with every chemical and metal I listed, only 'then' have we satisfied Dr. Erdemir's self-imposed constraint.
I'm just the messenger.
I read every word he published, and I read it for comprehension.

Hmm ye... I'm no chemist and couldn't tell you if boric acid reacts with any of the additives already in engine oil.
But I can tell you I TRIED IT ANYWAY and IT WORKED extremely well in all cases.
(The VW complications that required dropping the sump excepted. But there it worked too once the the sludge was discarded and the sieve replaced with a coarser one)
The reason I didnt worry too much about chemical reactions was that the boric acid was dissolved in water.
And water hardly dissolves in oil, forming an emulsion instead.
An emulsion that IMHO would boil and/or evaporate away in short order, leaving a modified bearing surface/s.
Having actually tested it in over a 2 dozen engines; I found I was correct.
Have you tested it?
