Brent, if you're into selling this synthetic, you would know about "dry" engines... ? I've read where there are traceable deposits after one year, as it "fuses" so to speak into the metal itself, kind of like a teflon pan.
It's when people brought their cars into a shop that I managed for Precision Tune awhile back that I encountered minute metal particles in the oil and further questioning of customers indicated occasional flooding, thus no protection to metal moving parts for a few seconds.
Change an oil pump and don't pack it with petroelum jelly and about the time you get the engine fired up, you have spun a bearing. Dry pumps can get like that, those tempermental little suckers/pumpers! Or, it's about the time a bearing takes to break down a little and onlly a few repeats causes sloppy seating, thus more wear and tear, causing a never ending cycle.
Brent, please check into this with your "manufacturers" as you should have as a rep their technical bulletins... and please let me know how true this is.
Again, customers don't always tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth for fear of looking like idiots...
ops:
Some customers didn't realize they had been flooding their engines, they just thought it was using too much gas for only god knows how long>>>
