Not a one.
Yet it works.
As they attested.
As I attested. Are you calling me a liar?
When there is scientific research, as demanded above, that also doesn't count.
What does?
So what does count?
and again:
If scientific research and field tests and anecdotal evidence is not allowed:
How did ZDDP make its way into engine oil????
How did ANY of the additives found in engine oils get there if one is not allowed to use:- Tribological research equipment.
- Field tests where there was a 6 to 10% improvement in fuel economy.
- Try it for yourself.
API Annual Meeting Marketing Division in 1948 [6];
‘‘Ten years ago additives were looked upon by lubricating-oil manufacturers as costly gadgets, and it was not unusual to hear them disparagingly referred to as ‘‘mouse milk.’’ However much has happened in the past 10 years..."

Sounds familiar somehow, yet there ZDDP etc is in oil.
You do realize that:
If the engine and/or oil manufacturers were paying moles to squash any talk of Boric Acid as a lubricant; They would act just as you are, although probably not contradict themselves quite as much..!
To anyone actually reading this; it's you that looks suspect by:
- Skipping such questions.
- Quoting the DOE's Argonne National Labs research after trying to convince people said research is from suspect sources.
- etc.
