RobH Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) A quick web search shows this stuff is of US origin and is probably a vegetable-based oil, hence the 'zero carbon' , biodegradable and non-hazardous claims. It appears to have been around for about ten years. Apparently this type of oil is a viable technology but there seems to be no substantiation of the claims made by this particular brand regarding exhaust emissions. Strangely, none of the advertisements quote any recognised engine oil specification that it meets. The ACE company video on YouTube is spurious of course as the 'smoke' shown at the start is just water vapour. Edited December 26, 2023 by RobH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barkerwilliams Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 I thought not so good then I read Neil Revingtons bit on it:- https://www.revingtontr.com/product/rtr5527-4/name/oil-no-smoke-20-50-4ltr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 No mention of ZDDP content and still no mention of specification. At £75 a can, it had better be good. A lot of the Revington piece is cut-and-paste from the maker's own publicity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mike C Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 I used to like vegetable based oils- there was nothing like the smell of Castrol R and methanol on a good day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RogerH Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 It's true Harry. I'll bring some down the pub in January at good NY discount prices. Really good - honest. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytr5 Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 Pantomime season will be over by then Roger! See you in the pub. Regards Harry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Moltu Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 It’s been around for a while. No smoke doesn’t mean no consumption or leaks on a worn engine.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnC Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Ummm. Just because it's not fossil fuel based doesn't mean it has no carbon! Take ethanol. Sourced (mainly) from plants, but formula CH3CH2OH. If you heat up "no smoke oil" enough, it will burn! Maybe its secret is a very high smoke point. Like rice bran oil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
