' mixing oil brands '

This is the best point of argument you've ever brought to the table however, as of 2013, we still had no official test results from anyone to say, one way or another.
DOE-funded research ended in December, 2011, and as they WERE 'interested ' in 'automotive' additives, they never got into it ( 20-years after Argonne's US Patent ).
*Erdemir had dropped boric oxide on account of hardness and abrasiveness.
*There were 'agglomeration', 'clumping' and 'chunk' issues with some nBA blends.
* Oil starvation exactly where 'boundary-lubrication' was needed most!, with attendant machine failure.
* Surfactants ( canola oil, coconut oil, rapeseed oil and soybean oil had shown promise ) to create dispersion-stabilizing ' concentrates '.
