This theory comes from the previously mentioned Spicer 2008 lubricity test. I guess just because one sample. at that period in time, provided good lubricity, all of today's current biodiesel recipes must also provide the same protection...whistling past the graveyard at it's best
The same bunch that promote:
- EGR delete
- "hot" FICM
- Tuners
- CCV vent to atmosphere
And many utterly useless at best, or damaging mods.
There is no connection in their mind between deleting the EGR and raising combustion temperature, which in turn, raises the cooling system load (not even talking of NOx), which in turn had to be corrected by the ECM by derating the engine (mild limp) which then cripples mileage and performance, that in turn, have to be "corrected" by a tuner which then spoofs the motor into power output way beyond the reliability zone (and legal emission zone), and in turn, more stresses on the cooling system, head gaskets, etc. which in turn need to be fixed by ARPs, which in turn has to be fixed by...
