Lab Interpretation

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!
