Below are the independent
test results of Auto-Rx® in
a Suzuki sport bike that encompasses five different oil analysis
samples, graphed and analyzed by Dyson Analysis. The test
is instructive in that the bike was well maintained by a licensed
aircraft mechanic and pilot who has been riding and maintaining
motorcycles for over 30 years. He, like Dyson Analysis, is independent
of Auto-Rx®.
High-quality, synthetic lubricants from Amsoil had been used right
up until the test was begun. The test closely monitors
the bike engine/trans sump during a pre-Auto-Rx® Suzuki
OEM oil phase, Auto-Rx® cleaning phase at 1,000
and 1,500 miles, a post-Auto-Rx® rinse
phase, and finally back to a synthetic oil test
interval.
In a nutshell, we learned that, after 60,000 miles, a nearly perfectly
maintained motorcycle engine/trans sump did build up deposits
and that a good lubricant on its own cannot clean and maintain
cleanliness the way a bike can that periodically uses Auto-Rx® as
directed. Suprisingly, Auto-Rx® SAFELY cleaned
and carried miles of wear and corrosion deposits from the
transmisson area that we did not expect to see at these levels. See
the large particle testing for more info.
One of the difficulties in a shared sump is that clutch,
gear, and other transmission-wear particles can impact transmission
and engine wear if allowed to deposit. Add in the factor
of mechanical shear (note that viscosity was impacted negatively
in all tests), and you see that a motorcycle oil in this application
is being asked to perform as a super lubricant and maintain cleanliness.
During the testing, much debris was cleaned by Auto-Rx®.
As a matter of fact, the oil filter was overloaded with fine wear-causing debris,
mostly from the transmission and gearbox. The fact that
wear rates were stable or declined during cleaning is proof of
Auto-Rx® safety and effectiveness even with an
oil filter being at or near max capacity.
This test clearly points out that even a sport bike, having used only high-quality, synthetic lubrication, can benefit with lower wear rates and, by extension, less stress. The lower wear rates and better lubricant stability will translate into better performance and longer life!
