PolyBlend 35 Testing & Validation Section

Unmatched Anti-Wear

Independent third-party laboratory testing showed up to a 40% reduction in measured wear when PolyBlend 35 was evaluated against benchmark oil formulations under standardized test conditions.

Improved Fuel Efficiency

Real-world observations in over-the-road trucking and gasoline-powered vehicles showed fuel-use improvements ranging from approximately 3% to 13% under specific operating conditions.

Lower Operating Temps

Extended & Enhanced Oil Performance

Laboratory testing observed lower oil operating temperatures when PolyBlend 35 was incorporated into the oil blend under controlled conditions. In applications equipped with auxiliary oil cooling systems, temperature reductions were more pronounced.

PolyBlend 35 may be considered for use in turbocharged engines, where oil temperature management is especially important.

Extended & Enhanced Oil Performance

PolyBlend 35 is designed to support the performance characteristics of conventional petroleum and synthetic motor oils. When incorporated into the oil blend, laboratory and field observations indicate improved resistance to wear and thermal stress, while preserving the primary functional properties of the base oil under tested conditions.

Start-up Wear

Independent industry reports commonly note that a significant portion of engine wear occurs during start-up. PolyBlend 35 is designed to remain on critical engine components after shut-down, helping provide protection when the engine is started again. This effect can be observed—and even heard—in the before-and-after demonstration videos featured elsewhere on this site.

Bid Farewell To Lifter Tick

Certain engines are prone to lifter noise during start-up. PolyBlend 35 is commonly used to help reduce or eliminate this condition when added during an oil change. For higher-mileage engines, we recommend using an engine cleaning agent beforehand to help ensure optimal results.

Oil analysis typically costs between $20–$40 and provides insight into oil condition as well as potential engine-related issues. We believe real data is the most powerful proof.

Unplanned Field Observation

Meet Daniel H. / Orlando Florida

Daniel drives a 2018 Ram 1500 4x4 with approximately 120,000 miles. While returning home, he noticed what he believed to be a minor coolant issue. The dashboard coolant temperature indicated approximately 170°F, which initially appeared normal. It was later determined that this reading was inaccurate due to the coolant temperature sending unit being exposed to air.

During the drive, the oil temperature reading remained steady at approximately 220°F. Based on the information available to him at the time, Daniel continued driving and traveled approximately 45 miles to his home at highway speeds of 75–80 mph. Ambient air temperature was approximately 74°F, with typical Florida humidity.

Evaluate the Evidence

Meet Daniel H. / Orlando Florida

After arriving home, Daniel allowed the engine to cool before draining the radiator. Only about one pint of coolant was recovered, despite the system’s normal capacity being approximately 16 quarts (see photo above). The amount of coolant remaining within the engine was unknown. The vehicle was able to continue operating throughout the drive, with oil temperature remaining stable during the event.

PolyBlend 35 Laboratory ASTM Testing

ASTM Testing Overview

ASTM International develops and publishes voluntary, consensus-based international testing standards. ASTM test methods are widely used within the tribology industry to evaluate friction, wear, and extreme-pressure performance of lubricants under controlled laboratory conditions.

The following ASTM tests were conducted to evaluate the performance characteristics of PolyBlend 35 when used in combination with conventional and synthetic motor oils. These tests are designed to model specific wear and load conditions that can occur within internal combustion engines.

Laboratory test results provide comparative data under controlled conditions and are not intended to predict real-world engine life or performance.

ASTM D4172 – Four-Ball Wear Test

The ASTM D4172 Four-Ball Wear Test evaluates wear protection and frictional behavior under boundary lubrication conditions.

PolyBlend 35 demonstrated an average wear scar diameter of 0.37 mm
Observed oil temperature during testing was approximately 167°F
Comparative industry benchmark results commonly report wear scars of approximately 0.40 mm, with higher observed oil temperatures over 317°F.

When the same test was performed using 20 year old aged petroleum oil as the base oil, PolyBlend 35 again produced a wear scar of 0.38 mm, with oil temperature remaining consistent. These results indicate that PolyBlend 35 contributed to reduced wear measurements and lower operating temperatures under the test conditions.

ASTM D2714 – Block-on-Ring Wear Test

The ASTM D2714 Block-on-Ring Test measures sliding wear under controlled load and speed.

PolyBlend 35 produced an average wear scar measurement of 1.2 mm
Observed oil temperature during testing was approximately 110°F

These results fall within ranges typically associated with high-performing lubricants under this test method.

ASTM D3233 – FALEX Extreme Pressure Pin & Vee-Block Test

The ASTM D3233 FALEX Extreme Pressure Test evaluates a lubricant’s ability to withstand increasing load before failure.

At a 35% treatment ratio, PolyBlend 35 demonstrated significantly higher load-carrying capacity compared to untreated petroleum oils
Performance also exceeded typical results reported for many synthetic oils under similar test conditions

These results indicate enhanced extreme-pressure characteristics when PolyBlend 35 is incorporated into the oil blend.

ASTM Testing Disclaimer

ASTM test results are generated under controlled laboratory conditions and are intended for comparative evaluation only. Actual engine performance, wear rates, and operating temperatures may vary based on engine design, operating conditions, maintenance practices, and oil formulation.

PolyBlend 35 and Observed Lifter Noise Reduction

Recorded Lifter Noise Observation

Lifter Noise No Longer Audible Under Observation

Certain engine designs have been widely reported to experience start-up lifter noise, a condition that has been costly for owners to address. The video above provides an audible comparison recorded from a single vehicle under controlled observation.

Lifter Noise No Longer Audible Under Observation

PolyBlend 35 was added during a routine oil change. In subsequent engine starts, the previously audible lifter noise was no longer present. Follow-up observation over approximately ten months indicated that the noise did not return during that period.

The engine shown had approximately 25,000 miles at the time of recording. Audible engine characteristics may vary based on engine design, mileage, oil formulation, maintenance history, and operating environment.

In higher-mileage engines, the use of an engine cleaning treatment prior to adding PolyBlend 35 may be considered to help improve overall oil system condition.

FRICTION

The Hidden Cost of Friction: Why Heat, Wear, and Reliability All Begin at the Same Place

Every engine owner eventually asks the same question:

"What causes engines to wear out?"

The answer may seem obvious. High mileage. Heavy loads. Towing. Age.

While all of these contribute to wear, they are not the root cause.

The root cause is friction.

Friction is one of the most fundamental forces affecting every mechanical system on Earth. It is present whenever two surfaces move against one another. Inside an engine, friction occurs thousands of times every second. Bearings rotate on journals. Piston rings slide against cylinder walls. Camshafts and lifters interact under tremendous pressure. Gears mesh. Chains move. Pumps operate.

Every one of these interactions creates friction.

The challenge for engineers is not eliminating friction entirely. That is impossible. The challenge is managing friction so it produces the least amount of heat and wear possible.

Friction's First Byproduct: Heat

Whenever friction occurs, energy is converted into heat.

This principle applies whether you are rubbing your hands together, dragging a brake pad across a rotor, or operating a diesel engine under load.

The greater the friction, the more heat is generated.

Most people think of heat as merely a symptom. In reality, heat often becomes a secondary cause of damage itself.

As operating temperatures rise, motor oil is forced to work harder. Oxidation accelerates. Additives become stressed. Viscosity can change. Deposits begin to form. Sludge and varnish may eventually develop.

In other words, friction creates heat, and heat creates additional problems.

This is why lubrication engineers pay close attention to operating temperatures. Excessive heat is rarely a good sign.

Friction's Second Byproduct: Wear

Heat is only part of the story.

Friction also causes wear.

Under ideal conditions, a lubricant separates moving surfaces and prevents direct metal-to-metal contact. However, every engine experiences moments when lubrication films become extremely thin. These conditions are known as boundary lubrication conditions.

During these moments, surface protection becomes critical.

Over time, microscopic wear accumulates.

The process is gradual. A few molecules here. A few particles there.

The driver may never notice the changes occurring inside the engine. Yet every mile contributes to the total wear experienced by the machine.

Eventually those tiny changes become measurable. Clearances increase. Compression may decline. Noise increases. Efficiency decreases.

Wear is rarely a sudden event. It is usually the accumulation of millions of small events.

Reliability Is Built on Friction Management

Most maintenance discussions focus on parts.

Oil filters / Air filters / Spark plugs / Belts / Hoses

These components are important, but they are ultimately supporting a larger goal.

Reliability

Reliability is the ability of a machine to perform its intended function consistently over time.

When reliability declines, downtime increases.

For a fleet operator, downtime can be far more expensive than parts replacement.

Ø Missed deliveries

Ø Idle employees

Ø Delayed projects

Ø Lost productivity

All of these costs originate from equipment that is unavailable when needed.

The path to reliability begins by controlling friction, managing heat, and reducing wear.

Everything else builds upon that foundation.

What Testing Has Taught Us

At PolyBlend 35, we spend considerable time studying friction, wear, and operating temperatures.

*One of the most consistent observations we have made is that wear protection and temperature control are not always the same thing.

Some lubricant formulations provide excellent wear protection while generating substantial heat.

Others may operate at lower temperatures but provide less wear resistance.

The most effective lubrication systems seek balance.

A recent comparative friction test demonstrated this principle clearly.

A Mobil 1 synthetic oil combined with a commercially available ZDDP supplement completed a one-hour wear test while producing an extremely small wear scar. However, temperatures climbed to levels rarely observed during our testing.

When PolyBlend 35 was added to the same formulation, wear protection remained essentially unchanged while operating temperatures dropped dramatically.

The bearing face temperature fell from 276°F to 204°F, a reduction of approximately 26%.

The sample temperature fell from 257°F to 182°F, a reduction of approximately 29%.

The wear scar remained approximately 1.5 mm.

This observation reinforced an important lesson:

Wear protection and heat management are both critical components of lubrication performance.

Why Heat Matters

Many lubrication discussions focus exclusively on wear. Wear is certainly important. However, temperature deserves equal attention. Heat accelerates oxidation. Heat stresses lubricants. Heat contributes to deposit formation. Heat can reduce the margin of safety available during demanding operating conditions.

Whether an engine is powering a pickup truck, a commercial fleet vehicle, a farm tractor, a motorcycle, or a classic car, managing heat remains one of the most important challenges in lubrication.

This is particularly true in severe-service applications such as towing, hauling, construction, agriculture, and air-cooled engines.

The harder an engine works, the more important friction management becomes.

The Long-Term View

Most engine failures do not begin with catastrophic events.

They begin with small, incremental changes. A little more heat. A little more wear. A little more friction. Over time those changes accumulate.

The most successful maintenance programs recognize this reality.

Rather than waiting for failure, they focus on controlling the factors that contribute to failure.

Ø They monitor oil condition

Ø They watch temperatures

Ø They inspect equipment

They make informed maintenance decisions. In short, they treat reliability as a process rather than an accident.

Everything Starts with Friction

Friction is invisible. You cannot see it while driving down the highway. You cannot hear it during most daily operation. Yet friction influences nearly every aspect of engine performance and longevity. It affects temperature. It affects wear. It affects efficiency. It affects reliability.

Understanding friction is the first step toward understanding how engines live long, productive lives.

At PolyBlend 35, that belief guides everything we do.

Because when it comes to lubrication, everything starts with friction.

HEAT MANAGEMENT

Why Heat Is the Enemy of Motor Oil

Most discussions about motor oil focus on viscosity, additives, or wear protection.

While all of those topics are important, there is another factor that quietly influences every lubricant's performance: Heat.

Heat is one of the most destructive forces acting upon motor oil. It accelerates oxidation, stresses additive packages, contributes to deposit formation, and can shorten the useful life of the lubricant. For this reason, understanding heat is essential to understanding lubrication.

Every Engine Produces Heat

Internal combustion engines are heat-producing machines. The combustion process itself generates enormous temperatures. In addition, every moving part inside the engine creates friction. Piston rings slide against cylinder walls. Bearings rotate on journals. Camshafts interact with lifters. Timing chains move across guides and sprockets.

Each of these interactions generates heat.

Motor oil serves many functions, but one of its most important jobs is helping manage that heat. The challenge is that oil itself has limits. The hotter the oil becomes, the harder it must work to protect the engine.

What Happens When Oil Gets Too Hot?

As temperatures increase, oxidation accelerates. Oxidation is a chemical reaction between oil molecules and oxygen. Over time, oxidized oil begins to change. It may thicken. Deposits may begin forming. Varnish may develop on internal surfaces. Eventually sludge can appear. This process is often gradual. An engine may continue operating while these changes occur. The driver notices nothing unusual. Yet inside the engine, lubricant quality is slowly declining. This is one reason excessive heat is often described as the silent enemy of motor oil.

Heat and Engine Longevity

Heat affects more than just the lubricant. Elevated temperatures can influence seals, gaskets, bearings, and other critical components. Every engine is designed to operate within a specific temperature range. When temperatures remain under control, lubricants and components generally have a better opportunity to perform as intended. When temperatures increase, the margin for error becomes smaller.

This is particularly important for vehicles that operate under severe-service conditions such as:

Ø Towing

Ø Heavy hauling

Ø Commercial fleet operation

Ø Construction equipment

Ø Agricultural equipment

Ø Performance applications

Ø Air-cooled engines

These applications place extraordinary demands on lubricants.

The Unique Challenge of Air-Cooled Engines

Air-cooled engines deserve special mention. Unlike liquid-cooled engines, they rely heavily on airflow and oil to help control temperature. This is one reason air-cooled engine owners often pay close attention to oil temperatures. Classic Volkswagen owners understand this challenge. Harley-Davidson riders understand it as well.

In our own experience, PolyBlend 35 has been used successfully in Harley-Davidson air-cooled V-twin engines, an application well known for elevated operating temperatures during summer riding and stop-and-go traffic.

While every engine is different, air-cooled applications remind us how important heat management can be.

What Testing Revealed

One of the most interesting findings from our comparative lubricant testing involved a synthetic oil and ZDDP formulation. The formulation produced excellent wear protection and completed a full one-hour friction test. However, temperatures climbed to some of the highest levels we have observed during testing. The bearing face reached 276°F. The sample reached 257°F. These temperatures were remarkable. The test demonstrated that wear protection and temperature control are not always the same thing. When PolyBlend 35 was added to the formulation, wear protection remained essentially unchanged while temperatures dropped dramatically.

The bearing face temperature fell from 276°F to 204°F. The sample temperature fell from 257°F to 182°F.

Those reductions represented approximately:

26% lower bearing-face temperature
29% lower sample temperature

Most importantly, the wear scar remained approximately 1.5 mm. The test reinforced an important lesson: Heat management matters.

Why Lower Temperatures Matter

Every reduction in operating temperature can potentially benefit the lubricant. Lower temperatures generally reduce oxidation stress. Lower temperatures help preserve lubricant integrity. Lower temperatures may help maintain a larger margin of protection during demanding operating conditions. This does not mean heat disappears. Engines will always generate heat. The goal is not elimination. The goal is management.

Looking Beyond Oil Changes

Many people think about lubrication only when it is time for an oil change. Professional fleet operators often take a broader view. They understand that lubricant performance is influenced by multiple factors:

Ø Contamination

Ø Oxidation

Ø Wear

Ø Operating temperature

Heat plays a role in all four. This is why oil analysis programs frequently monitor lubricant condition over time. Temperature trends can tell an important story.

Conclusion

Motor oil performs one of the most difficult jobs in modern machinery.

It must lubricate. It must cool. It must clean. It must protect.

Every one of those responsibilities becomes more difficult as temperatures rise.

Heat may be invisible, but its effects are not.

Ø Oxidation.

Ø Varnish.

Ø Sludge.

Ø Wear.

All are influenced by temperature. Understanding heat is one of the keys to understanding engine longevity. At PolyBlend 35, we continue studying friction, wear, and temperature because they remain closely connected. Reduce friction. Manage heat. Protect the machine.

ENGINE WEAR

Understanding Startup Wear: The First Few Seconds Matter Most

When most people think about engine wear, they imagine extreme situations. A truck pulling a heavy trailer through the mountains. A race car operating at full throttle. A construction machine working all day under heavy load.

While these conditions certainly place stress on an engine, some of the most important wear events may occur under far less dramatic circumstances.

In fact, one of the most critical moments in an engine's life happens before the vehicle even leaves the driveway. It happens during startup.

Using your favorite search engine, look for: “Studies on engine wear at startup.” You’ll discover, the percentage is crazy high: 75%!

What Happens When an Engine Is Shut Down?

The moment an engine is turned off, several important changes begin occurring inside the lubrication system. Oil pressure immediately falls to zero. Gravity begins pulling oil back toward the oil pan. Some lubricant remains on internal surfaces, while some drains away. The exact amount depends upon the engine design, oil formulation, operating temperature, and the length of time the engine remains shut down. Hours later, when the engine is started again, the lubrication system must quickly restore full oil circulation throughout the engine. During this brief period, moving components may be operating with reduced oil film thickness. This is why startup conditions receive so much attention from lubrication engineers.

The Challenge of Boundary Lubrication

Under ideal conditions, moving engine components are separated by a full lubricant film. The oil acts as a protective barrier that prevents direct metal-to-metal contact. However, during startup, that protective film may be thinner than normal in certain areas. Engineers refer to these conditions as boundary lubrication. Boundary lubrication occurs whenever the oil film becomes extremely thin and surface protection depends heavily on the lubricant's chemistry.

Examples include:

Ø Camshaft lobes

Ø Lifters

Ø Piston rings

Ø Cylinder walls

Ø Timing components

Ø Bearings during oil pressure recovery

These components may experience their highest stress levels during the moments immediately following startup. The engine is moving. Loads are present. Yet full lubrication has not necessarily been restored everywhere.

As an interesting exercise, note what your engine idle RPM is; say, 500 RPM. 500/60 (Seconds) = 8.3 RPM per second. In a RAM 1500, the oil pump takes approximately 2.5 seconds to get oil to the valve train. 2.5 seconds x 8.3 RPM = 20.8 revolutions per piston before any oil makes it to the valve train. Every time the engine is started.

Why Startup Wear Matters

Wear is often misunderstood. Many people imagine wear as a catastrophic event. In reality, wear is usually gradual. Microscopic material is removed from surfaces over thousands of operating cycles. One startup event may contribute only a tiny amount of wear. The problem is repetition. Consider a vehicle started twice per day. That vehicle experiences more than 700 startup cycles every year. Over ten years, that becomes more than 7,000 startup events. Small amounts of wear accumulate. Eventually the effects become measurable. Clearances increase. Efficiency declines. Noise may develop. Performance changes. The process is slow but relentless.

The Relationship Between Friction and Startup Wear

Friction plays a major role during startup. Whenever two surfaces move against one another, friction is present. Friction generates heat. Friction contributes to wear. Friction consumes energy. The more effectively friction is managed, the greater the opportunity for the lubricant to protect critical engine components. This is one reason lubrication quality remains important even in engines that are otherwise healthy. The goal is not merely to lubricate under ideal conditions. The goal is to provide protection during the moments when protection is needed most.

What Drivers Sometimes Notice

In many engines, startup wear occurs silently. The driver never notices. However, some engines provide clues. One of the most common examples is valvetrain noise. Many vehicle owners are familiar with the term "lifter tick." A lifter tick may have multiple causes depending upon engine design and condition. However, it often becomes most noticeable during startup when lubrication conditions are changing rapidly. While every engine is different, reducing friction and improving lubrication quality can sometimes contribute to quieter operation. This is one reason many vehicle owners pay close attention to startup behavior. An engine often tells a story if we are willing to listen.

High-Mileage Engines and Startup Protection

Startup protection becomes increasingly important as engines accumulate mileage. As components wear, clearances may increase. Oil retention characteristics can change. Internal surfaces may no longer behave exactly as they did when the engine was new. This does not mean high-mileage engines are doomed to failure. Many engines continue operating successfully for hundreds of thousands of miles. However, it does mean lubrication quality becomes even more important. The older the engine, the more valuable every opportunity to reduce unnecessary friction may become.

Why Severe Service Increases the Challenge

Certain operating conditions place additional demands on lubrication systems.

Examples include:

Ø Towing

Ø Commercial hauling

Ø Construction equipment

Ø Agricultural equipment

Ø Performance driving

Ø Frequent stop-and-go operation

These applications expose lubricants to increased temperatures and higher loads. As temperatures increase, lubricant stress increases. As lubricant stress increases, maintaining effective startup protection becomes even more important. This is why professional fleet operators often pay close attention to oil condition, oil analysis, and lubricant selection. Reliability depends upon managing countless small events before they become large problems.

The Long View

Perhaps the most important lesson about startup wear is that it is rarely dramatic. Engines usually do not fail because of a single startup. They wear because of thousands of startups. Thousands of heat cycles. Thousands of operating hours. Thousands of opportunities for friction and wear to occur. Longevity is ultimately the result of managing those small events effectively. Every startup matters. Every heat cycle matters. Every maintenance decision matters.

Protecting the Engine Before the Journey Begins

Most people think engine protection occurs while driving. In reality, some of the most important protection occurs before the journey truly begins. The first few seconds after startup represent a unique challenge for every lubrication system. Oil pressure must recover. Lubricant films must stabilize. Critical components must be protected. This process repeats itself every day, every week, and every year throughout the life of the engine.

Understanding startup wear helps us understand a larger truth about machinery:

Ø Reliability is not built during moments of failure.

Ø Reliability is built through thousands of successful moments that occur long before failure ever has a chance to begin.

Ø At PolyBlend 35, we continue studying friction, lubrication, heat, and wear because they are inseparably connected.

Ø Reduce friction.

Ø Manage heat.

Ø Protect the machine.

For best consistency and evaluation of results, many users avoid combining multiple aftermarket additives simultaneously. However, it will help control the heat that using ZDDP generates.

What oil should I use with PolyBlend 35?

Use a high-quality motor oil that meets your vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.

PolyBlend 35 is intended to supplement compatible engine oils — not replace proper oil selection or maintenance.

Should I perform oil analysis?

Yes.

Oil analysis is one of the best ways to evaluate:

engine wear,
oil condition,
contamination,
and lubricant performance.

Many professional fleets use oil analysis as a standard maintenance practice.

Is PolyBlend 35 safe?

According to the product’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS):

PolyBlend 35 is considered non-carcinogenic
No unusual handling precautions are required under normal use
The product does not require special hazardous-material procedures during standard handling

As with all automotive lubricants:

Avoid prolonged skin contact
Keep away from children
Clean spills promptly
Follow normal shop safety procedures

What about engine sludge?

Engine sludge is primarily caused by a combination of oil oxidation, contamination, and excessive heat. Of these factors, excessive engine heat is often the biggest contributor.

When motor oil is repeatedly exposed to high temperatures, the oil begins to oxidize and break down. Over time, this process thickens the oil, creating varnish deposits and sludge buildup inside the oil pan, valve train, and other engine components. Hardworking engines, especially those used for towing, hauling, stop-and-go driving, or heavy commercial use, are particularly vulnerable.

This is one area where PolyBlend 35 is designed to help.

One of PolyBlend 35’s key strengths is its natural ability to help manage heat and reduce friction. By improving lubricity and helping reduce operating temperatures, PB35 may help the companion oil better withstand thermal stress. In practical terms, many users describe PB35 as providing additional “life support” to engine oil under demanding conditions.

However, heat is only part of the equation.

Contamination also plays a major role in sludge formation. As engines wear, combustion byproducts and microscopic particles contaminate the oil more rapidly. For this reason, if you choose to extend oil service intervals based on used-oil analysis, maintaining proper filtration becomes extremely important.

Many commercial operators routinely replace oil filters at normal service intervals while monitoring oil condition separately through oil analysis. With remote oil filter systems, changing the filter can often be completed in just a few minutes.

Important Note

Always follow your engine manufacturer’s maintenance requirements and warranty guidelines. PolyBlend 35 does not guarantee prevention of sludge or extended oil drain intervals. Used-oil analysis is strongly recommended before extending any oil change schedule.
