Oil Additive Question - BG MOA® -Does It Eat Seals?
Jim...@msn.com
Have any of you ever used this Motor Oil Additive?
BG MOA®
http://www.bgprod.com/blendr/BGMOA.html
http://www.bgprod.com/products/engineoil.html
It is supposed to help keep the oil from thickening up in between oil
changes.
I used it back in 1993.
One-half of 11oz. can per 2.5 quarts oil.
After about 1000 miles I changed the oil.
There was a lot more than usual carbon like grit on the sump plate.
My concern mainly is that,
Is this stuff going to deteriorate the oil seals in my Type I Engine?
TIA any help will be appreciated!

BG MOA® BG MOA® prevents oxidation and thickening of engine oil under
even the most severe stop-and-go, high temperature driving conditions.
It fortifies all qualities of engine oil to provide superior long-
lasting engine protection and helps maintain optimum engine
performance. BG MOA® keeps piston ring belts, hydraulic lifters and
other engine components clean to help extend engine life and reduce
costs of operation. It is compatible with both synthetic and petroleum-
base oils.
The Thin Film Oxidation Uptake Test (TFOUT), ASTM Test Method D4742,
proves BG MOA’s remarkable resistance to oxidation by more than 200%
longer than six major brands of SL quality oil. At the conclusion of
the API Sequence IIIF Engine Test‚ a major brand, high-quality
reference oil barely passed the 80-hour test with a viscosity increase
of 255 percent. At 80 hours, another brand of oil fortified with BG
MOA® had a viscosity increase of only 57 percent. At the conclusion of
the triple-length, 240-hour test, it was still well within the
viscosity limits with an increase of only 198 percent. Part No. 110 11
oz. (325 mL) can.

According to my experiences, oil doesn't thicken up between oil changes.
It thins out.

$16.00 per 11oz. can. Ouch!
To play it safe, I will not use it with my new oil seals.
