How to Determine the Quality of a Lubricant Additive?How do you check the quality of a lubricant additive? Which parameters are most important?
reply
There are many tests that can help determine the quality of a lubricant additive. The importance of the parameters is prioritized by the specific role that the lubricant will fill. One thing to remember is that lubricant performance is not solely governed by additives. The base oil also plays a major part.

What is detergent in lubricant?
reply
Detergents are additives designed to clean the metal surfaces within a fired engine and prevent the build-up of deposits. The insoluble reaction by-products of the combustion process are removed by the detergents in the lubricant. Detergents are commonly added to Engine oils.
Detergents neutralize strong acids present in the lubricant (for example sulfuric and nitric acid produced in internal combustion engines as a result of combustion process) and remove the neutralization products from the metal surface. Detergents also form a film on the part surface preventing high temperature deposition of sludge and varnish.
