I have been in the lubricants business for about 12 years and I want to put out the thought that certain additives may help prevent rust or corrosion but may cause deposits to form if they do not burn cleanly.All chemicals,even motor oil when burned leave some residue.In a motor oil this is called sulfated ash content,measured by percent of weight left over after the oil is burned.most motor oils have an ash content of about 1%.Think of it like a cigarette burning and the ash thats left over.I just want you to consider that some chemicals you add to you WI mix may not burn off that well.More specifically,its not so much the oil itself that doesnt burn cleanly,but the additives such as antifoam,rust&oxidation inhibitors,detergents etc.that leave the deposits.The discussion of adding chemicals to WI just caught my eye is all.I would hate to see you guys use an additive that created harmful deposits.---
