Synlube viscosity?

maybe they blending only when customer order or by request

Should it matter when it's blended? If it's labeled 5w-50, that's what it should be.

Otherwise it should be labeled 5w-Your guess is as good as ours.

Well when you go to your local wally world, and purchase whatever oil, and then throw in your witches brew of additives ...who knows what's going to come up. I would imagine quality control is non-existent, and the product varies batch to batch, depending on what oil is currently on sale.

How do you know that?

How do YOU NOT KNOW IT???

Perhaps it was just a lack of quality control at the Mercury, NV facility????...What a joke Synlube turned out to be. And now it's all over the web.

There is no Mercury NV facility.

Yeh Trajan I know, it was a joke...Just commenting on the general lies, these guys have made, over and over, and that was a whopper...Just waiting for one of them to chime in, with an excuse...You know the dance they do...The Synlube shuffle.

This is what I meant. A reply from the DoE.

Your email to the Secretary of Energy requesting information on public access to Mercury, Nevada has been forwarded to me.

Mercury serves as the "base camp" for operations of the National Nuclear Security Administration's Nevada Test Site. As such Mercury is not open to the general public. Further, there are no private businesses operating within Mercury or the Nevada Test Site. There is not a "Mirox Corporation" operating a business in Mercury or the Nevada Test Site.

I hope this answers your question. If you have further questions please feel free to contact me either by email or the phone numbers listed below my signature block.

Yeh I read that as well. Good to post though Trajan, as people need to know the depths of Synlubes lies.

The thing is, these guys are awfully ignorant, as they don't think anybody will catch on, and when they do, the Synlube shuffle starts, and the insults are hurled.

You didn't answer the question. How could you? You know that it's not true. Another example of your lack of knowledge on the subject.

Synlube recipe: Wally world oil 'on sale' + witches brew of additives, shake well...Voila, Synlube.

The question I believe Inhaliburton is why are 2 different Synlube samples not there stated viscosity????????????

If the consumer cannot rely on this companies product, to meet its stated viscosity, why should they trust anything about Synlube. ANSWER: You can't believe anything the 'Synners' say about the product, as it is all lies. You can't truthfully answer the question, so the 'synlube shuffle' starts as always. what a joke

Before this thread gets locked down like the other maybe this might explain the viscosity question.

By the way nuke.....talk about insults.........have you read some of your very insulting post lately?? You're the best!!!

What equipment do you have ?

Make, Model, method you use, when calibrated and what standard (calibration) is used.

None of your posts reveal that.

If you are using rotary equipment the results will not match CANNON Fenske for opaque liquids.

Also what is your bath stabilization method and how you determine the sample is at that temperature ?

What cc of the fluid is used ?

Not to atack any of your measurements, just curious to know.

If you need to know we use

Cannon-Fenske Opaque

When one of the tests was reported as 23.5 we did test the same batch and when corrected for density it for sure is not 9.9. or 10.5 = all those reports reported at different times ON the SAME batch of fluid.

Can you explain why 10.5 and 23.5 and now 9.9 and 9.9 ? Clearly it is not consistent thus

Understanding Significance of Expanded Uncertainty is in order !

Once you have made error, is the first meacurement error, the second, the third, or all of them ? How about the average of the first two ? = 17 ???



All I can say different means of testing result in different values for someting that is NOT absolute like "viscosity".

But then people that claimed SAE 5W-50 is to thick (we always refer to is as "apparent" viscosity) should now have no fears to pour it onto ordinary SAE 30 applications.

So the synlube shuffle starts...Deny, Deny, Deny. Captain Kirk who is this 'WE' who refers to it as 'apparent' viscosity? Miro, is that you?

Synlube '5W-WHATEVER'? ok, if thats what you want, thats what we shall call it...

Why don't you be truthful, to the people who buy it, expecting what is advertised. Some un-suspecting person may view it as FALSE ADVERTISING.

Synlube '5W-WHATEVER' was on sale at Wally World

LOL remember Synlube is magic oil, there is no testing equipment except equipment in Mercury NV that is capable of testing this stuff. But remember only Miro and Kirk occupy that neck of the woods. The viscosity is whatever Kirk/Miro state it is. Take that as Gospel!

AD

Guys, let's not get carried away and get another locked thread. (And I include myself.)

The question is, why are two different samples from a VOA come up out of weight?

They are sold and labeled as 5w-50, and yet neither sample has that weight.

I'm not a tribologists, but it seems to me that an oil labeled as Xw-XX should indeed be Xw-XX. Not Xw-YY or Xw-WW.

I take it that what ever is being blended is not consistent?

If so, that's fine. But if you're selling a 30w oil as a 50w, that's rather dishonest.

Per the synlube PDS bruce tested both samples using the same standard used by synlube.

ASTM D445
Significance and Use

Many petroleum products, and some non-petroleum materials, are used as lubricants, and the correct operation of the equipment depends upon the appropriate viscosity of the liquid being used. In addition, the viscosity of many petroleum fuels is important for the estimation of optimum storage, handling, and operational conditions. Thus, the accurate determination of viscosity is essential to many product specifications.

1. Scope



1.1 This test method specifies a procedure for the determination of the kinematic viscosity, ν, of liquid petroleum products, both transparent and opaque, by measuring the time for a volume of liquid to flow under gravity through a calibrated glass capillary viscometer. The dynamic viscosity, η, can be obtained by multiplying the kinematic viscosity, ν, by the density, ρ, of the liquid.

Note 1—For the measurement of the kinematic viscosity and viscosity of bitumens, see also Test Methods D 2170 and D 2171.

Note 2—ISO 3104 corresponds to Test Method D 445.


1.2 The result obtained from this test method is dependent upon the behavior of the sample and is intended for application to liquids for which primarily the shear stress and shear rates are proportional (Newtonian flow behavior). If, however, the viscosity varies significantly with the rate of shear, different results may be obtained from viscometers of different capillary diameters. The procedure and precision values for residual fuel oils, which under some conditions exhibit non-Newtonian behavior, have been included.

1.3 The range of kinematic viscosities covered by this test method is from 0.2 to 300 000 mm2/s (see Table A1.1) at all temperatures (see 6.3 and 6.4). The precision has only been determined for those materials, kinematic viscosity ranges and temperatures as shown in the footnotes to the precision section.

1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Viscosity as measured by Bruce and Polaris after personal reruns for viscosity verification using the same ASTM test method listed on the PDS the viscocity measured vice the quoted spec is different by a wide margin.

Bruce----Polaris

Vis@100C-9.9---9.9
Vis@40-58.7----55.0

I received this information from the 'Top Secret' files of, The Mirox Corporation, corporate headquarters at Mercury, NV.

Also in the files were the KFC recipe. Are any of YOUR wild claims verifiable? No of course not.

But we do have verifiable data from two noted Tribologists, who's information is accurate.

So when does that wild jig of yours start? 'The Synlube shuffle'.

Nucleardawg, I heard that you were banned. I'm glad for you that you were given a second chance. Nice work. Don't blow it!

Wild claims? Not from me. I have not made any claims at all. I don't use the stuff, remember? Therefore, I do not have an axe to grind.

Viscosity, shmiscosity. Who care? The stuff works. Certainly not the thousands of satisfied users who have posted their IN-ACTUAL-USE RESULTS unlike the few naysayers who base their opinions on test tube results. Amsoil had the same naysayers way back when their products first appeared on the open market. Look at them now. Bonzai!

User ? Where on the magic synlube site? Yeah right…..try harder; funny if I check your post you join only 2 month before Miro during the same year.....and in 5 year did almost only talk about synlube.

I hope mods will close this one quick; even Fox Mulder in x-files was more credible when he was saying do you believe.

Banned? As usual Inhaliburton...your wrong.

I don't believe, I have ever heard a 'oil company' state so clearly it's...'philosophy'.

"Viscosity, shimcosity. Who care?"

Where are the 'Thousands' of customers?

Where are the test results? I mean you like to compare it to Amsoil, and they have verifiable test results.

I like Synlubes 'Philosophy' so much I am going to save that quote, It's clear, and concise...I like it.

Captain Kirk: According to my understanding of english, the Synlube bottle reads 'INITIAL FILL' Please see the attatched photo which was taken to show that Synlube was purchased for the VOA test to be performed.

So your going to need another excuse, of why Synlube, cannot meet it's advertised viscosity.

Or do you follow the same 'Philosophy' as the other 'Synner' Inhaliburton who states profoundly, "VISCOSITY SHIMCOSITY, WHO CARE/"

Here it is again....Universal,not initial fill.

You guys crack me up!! So the pictures show INITIAL FILL. So there is a UNIVERAL version of the INITIAL FILL? On page 66 of the original SYNLUBE thread even MIRO acknowledges, that he sold the bottle of INITIAL FILL to Tatar. that was tested by BRUCE.

Why do you constantly lie? Even MIRO says he sold the INITIAL FILL.

This info is on page 66 as I mentioned.

So the 'SYNLUBE SHUFFLE' continues.

Now for the next test.........Let Bruce do the best test.........put the stuff in a sound engine and run it 3000 hours...........that's the Synlube 3000 hour Shuffle.

Agree time for the scamlube and the syntology sect to be put in their place.

Captain Kirk, try not to get too upset. The links and explanations that you supply here are quite useful to me. Hard work on your part. That's been the outcome for every poster who has used the product and had the audacity to explain their experience with Synlube. They became fed-up and frustrated with the nonsense posted by the likes of Nucleardawg and Vitual and stopped posting. Remember Annie_Oakley? Trajan does ask some pertinent, intelligent questions and is usually fair. If you, a user, stop posting on the subject, who's left? Have a cold one and think things over.

Inhaliburton since you haave never used the product, or personally know anbody who uses the product, what is your stake? Miro is that you?

You continually side step any questions, while hurling your insults.

Inhaliburton why does Synlube, not meet it's advertised specifications>

If Synlube cannot truthfully answer ANY questions, this thread along with any further Synlube threads, should be permanently locked and its backers banned, as this site is not in the business of giving FREE advertisements.

Nucleardawg, I know it's Friday evening and you enjoy getting into the silly water. Tomorrow, or Sunday evening when you're sober, read again your post. I think you may see how silly it is.

OK Inhaliburton...Thing is I don't drink...But then again, you're wrong on everything else as well.


Synlube and it's minion's get banned? Time will tell buddy...Keep digging that hole...You 'Synners' are good at that.

Nuc, I'd not bother. He can't answer the original question, or has any interest in finding out.

All he can do is make snide and insulting comments, which contribute nothing to the thread.

Duh...Of course we know it's you. Why do you find the need to be...That which you are not?

I have never professed to be a oil expert...When you come on boards the way you have, under different guises, and then post truly outlandish statements, such as Mercury, NV. IT MAKES IT HARD TO TAKE ANYTHING YOU SAY SERIOUSLY

However I am willing to overlook things. Seriously, do away with the phony names you feel the need to post under, and maybe just be yourself, and spare us the endless Synlube advertisements and Yugo discussions.

Perhaps Miro, once that is done then a civil discourse, on a variety of automotive subjects can be undertaken.

I will not hold my breath...But as you like to point out, I will wait for verifiable results from you.
