Oil Service
A skilled technician will:
• Change engine oil and filter.
• Lubricate chassis.
• Top off fluids.
• Install BG MOA,® a top-quality engine oil additive that
fortifies the oil, providing for optimum engine performance and long-lasting engine protection.
Sequence IIIF
The following shows the results from a Sequence IIIF Engine performance test. This is an
industry standard test using a 1996/1997 General Motors 3800 fuel injected engine. The
test measures high temperature wear and oil thickening.
The 5W-20 engine oil meets the Ford specification requirement, which only allows a 200%
viscosity increase but requires a double length test (160 hours). Obviously, this is much
more stringent than the normal 80 hour length with a 275% allowed increase.
Adding BG MOA,® Part No. 110, to the 5W-20 and running the test for a triple length time
period (240 hours), the viscosity
increase
still remained

BG MOA,® Part No. 110
The maximum allowed viscosity increase is 275% after 80 hours. As the graph shows, the
API SL 5W-30 engine oil resulted in a 250% viscosity increase, which passes the test.
Thin Film Oxygen Uptake Test
ASTM D 4742
The Thin Film Oxygen Uptake Test, ASTM D 4742, measures oxidation stability of a lubricant.
Basically, the oil sample is absorbing oxygen. Oxygen, in turn, will cause oxidation and
breakdown of fluid. This is when viscosity increase may occur as well as sludge formation. The endpoint of the test (in minutes) occurs when the fluid sample is saturated with
oxygen.
Each base oil responds differently when BG MOA® is added because each engine oil manufacturer may be using different additive chemistry.

BG 109, Part No. 109
High operating temperatures, reduced engine cooling and prolonged drain intervals take
their toll on today's automotive engine oils. Continuous thermal and oxidative breakdown
contributes to oil thickening, heat retention and deposit formation. These heavy deposits
can impede normal piston-ring function; thus reducing fuel economy, lowering power
output, and increasing harmful exhaust emissions and oil consumption.

Fuel Induction Service
Utilizing specialized tools, one of our skilled technicians
will immediately:
• Clean fuel injectors.
• Clean throttle body.
• Clean plenum and air intake system.
• Clean intake valves and ports.
• Remove combustion chamber deposits.
Our BG Fuel Induction Service will:
• Improve driveability.
• Alleviate surge, hesitation, hard starting.
• Reduce emissions.
• Restore horsepower.
• Clean fuel injectors.
• Cure rough idle.
Recommended service interval:
15,000 miles/24‚000 km
Deposits in the fuel and air induction system cause driveability problems such as hesitation, surge, stall, hard starting, rough idle and loss of power.
Fuel deposits that build up on the injector pintle will interrupt proper fuel atomization.
This leads to increased exhaust emissions and driveability problems such as hesitation,
surging, misfire and loss of power.
The correct balance of fuel and air entering the combustion chamber is crucial to engine
performance.
The air throttle body assembly controls the air flow into the intake ports where the air
mixes with atomized fuel and swirls into the combustion chamber. Heavy deposits build
up on the back side of the throttle plate, around and behind the plate and in the idle air
control.
Throttle plate before (left) and after (right) BG Fuel Induction Service.
A fouled fuel injector sprays fuel in irregular
streams, resulting in improper combustion of
fuel and increased exhaust emissions.
This intake valve shows rock-hard deposit
build-up after only 10,000 miles.
After BG Fuel Induction Service, the same fuel
injector is functioning properly. It mists fuel so
that the fuel/air mixture is properly balanced
and combustion of fuel is thorough.
The same intake valve is free of deposits
after the BG Fuel Induction Service.

Rust-Preventing Characteristics of Inhibited Mineral Oil
in the Presence of Water
ASTM D 665
The gasoline sample is spiked with water (distilled or synthetic sea water) and placed in a
bath heated to 140°F. A clean, polished steel rod is placed in the gasoline/water blend for
a set time. At the end of the test duration, the steel rod is removed and examined. One of
the following is assigned to the steel rod: Light rusting, Moderate rusting, or Severe rusting. This test method provides necessary criteria for category placement.

Cavitation Corrosion and Erosion-Corrosion Characteristics
of Aluminum Pumps with Engine Coolants
ASTM D 2809 test
The photos below are from an ASTM D 2809 test conducted at an independent laboratory.
This test measures water pump damage. General Motors requires a 100-hour test, while
Ford requires an extended length test of 300 hours. It is BG’s practice to perform tests
under severe conditions in order to show the quality of the product being tested.
Therefore, the 300-hour test was performed.
The impeller portion of the pump: The top photos show the damage sustained when run
300 hours on ASTM synthetic used coolant.
The bottom pump was run on the same coolant, but was treated with BG Universal Super
Cool,® Part No. 546.
This test requires a rating result: A new pump is rated at 10. A rating of 8 is required to
pass the test. The pump rating from the test with the untreated coolant was 7. The pump
rating from the test with the BG Universal Super Cool® treated coolant was a 10.

Comments: No damage. The surface is “like new.” Dusting of salt deposits occurred

Independent lab comments:
“The BG additive improved the score of the pump 3 points, from
‘7’ to ‘10,’ protecting the water pump from damage caused by
aggressive salts in the ASTM Synthetic Used Coolant. ASTM Synthetic Used Coolant is formulated as a coolant that is aggressive
in standard coolant tests, and is designed to fail. The intent of
the fluid is to evaluate the effectiveness of additive technologies
to predict if the additives will improve coolant performance in
the field.
The results of this test support the claims by BG Products that the
additive technology will extend the life of coolant and provide
better protection in the system, especially for water pumps, than
coolant without the additive. This would appear to be especially
true in situations where the coolant is badly worn, say 3 or 4
years old.”

The photo at left contains metal coupons resulting from untreated synthetic corrosive
coolant, and the photo at right contains metal coupons resulting from the same corrosive
coolant treated with BG Universal Super Cool,® Part No. 546.
Below are the results of this test in milligrams of weight loss. Four out of the six metals
showed results that were 100% better than the results from the untreated corrosive coolant. All six metal coupons show improvement versus the coupons from the untreated
coolant.

Corrosion of Cast Aluminum Alloys in
Engine Coolants Under Heat-Rejecting Conditions
ASTM D 4340
The D 4340 is an industry standard test used as a laboratory screening method for evaluating the effectiveness of engine coolants in fighting against aluminum corrosion. This test
is of great importance because aluminum is a predominant metal in today’s light duty automobile. From heads to heater cores to engine blocks, aluminum corrosion can promote
failure in many different areas.
The test consists of an aluminum specimen, which resembles a hockey puck, exposed to
a coolant blend under heat flux. The test interval is one week, and the test temperature is
275°F.
The following bar graph is a compilation of results from D 4340 testing with BG Universal
Super Cool,® Part No. 546. The graph portrays the improvement in aluminum protection
with the addition of BG Universal Super Cool.® The test result is a measure of weight loss
corrosion. Therefore, the lower the result value, the better the protection because a low

Corrosion Test for Engine Coolants in Glassware
ASTM D 1384
The D 1384 is an industry standard test used for evaluating coolant corrosion protection
for six different metals—copper, lead solder, brass, steel, cast iron, and cast aluminum.
These six metals are major metals found in different components in the cooling system.
The six metal bundle is submerged in a beaker of the test coolant blend. The beaker sits in
a hot bath and air is bubbled into the test sample. The test interval is two weeks, and the
test temperature is 190°F.
The graph below shows results from D 1384 testing of a General Motors synthetic degraded corrosive coolant. The test was performed using this coolant untreated and treated with
BG Universal Super Cool,® Part No. 546. As with the D 4340, a lower result value is desired
because the result is a weight loss calculation due to corrosion. Take note that the treated
coolant result for steel and cast iron show negative (–) values. A (–) value reflects a weight
gain versus a weight loss. It is not uncommon to see (–) results from this test. This generally means that a heavy passivating (protective) layer still remains on the metal coupon.

Transmission Service
Using a state-of-the-art machine, a specially trained
technician will:
• Use a safe and effective cleaner to dissolve and
suspend the varnish and gums in the transmission,
valve body, torque converter, pan, filter element,
transmission lines, transmission cooler.
• Flush entire unit of all old fluid and suspended debris
and install new ATF of the proper specification.
• Fortify the new fluid with seal conditioners, oxidation
inhibitors, dispersants and friction modifiers.
• Road test the vehicle.
This service should be performed every 2 years or 30,000
miles/50‚000 km for long, trouble-free transmission life.
Dirty valve body spool before service
Clean valve body spool after service
BG Quick Clean for Automatic Transmissions, Part No. 106, has shown to be an effective
tool in removing sludge and varnish in transmission components prior to installing new
ATF. By helping to remove metallic debris and other contaminants, BG 106 is able to prolong the oxidative quality of the newly installed ATF.
This type of cleaning chemistry has been proven to remove hard baked-on carbon residues
from many surfaces such as spool valves, valve bodies, and even hot piston rings/ringlands
in an engine. Engine compression studies have proven that this otherwise harmless cleaning chemistry can remove enough carbon and sludge to restore engine or transmission
operation to “like new” condition.
BG Quick Clean for Automatic Transmissions, Part No. 106
Above are two different automatic transmission fluids (ATF). The fluid in the tube at left is
used, degraded ATF that is oxidized. Fluid such as this will not continue to lubricate and
protect. The fluid in the tube at right is new ATF after a service.

BG ATC Plus, Part No. 310
A second independent laboratory test was performed with a Dexron® III/Mercon® ATF
blended with BG ATC Plus. This test is the Anti-Shudder Durability Test required under the
Mercon® V specification from Ford Motor Company. This test requires a post-test component
inspection. Upon physical examination of the transmission components immediately following the completion of the test, the following comments were posted by the testing laboratory.
ASTM D 4742
The following two TFOUT charts show the results of some base ATFs—the results are in
minutes. The higher the time value result, the better the oxidation stability of the fluid.
The oil sample is absorbing oxygen. Oxygen, in turn, will cause oxidation and breakdown
of fluid. This is when viscosity increase may occur as well as sludge formation. The endpoint of the test (in minutes) occurs when the fluid sample is saturated with oxygen.
These TFOUT charts show results for some base ATFs as well as the same base ATFs with
the addition of BG ATC Plus, Part No. 310, and some other market ATF conditioners.

Every 2 years or 30,000 miles/50‚000 km
Rotating Bomb Oxidation Test (RBOT) Test
ASTM D 2272
The test oil (50g), water (5mL), and a copper coil catalyst (99.9% purity) are placed in a
test jar. The test jar is placed in a vessel, which is pressurized to 90 psi (6.20 bar). The pressurized vessel is placed in a hot oil bath (150°C) and rotated axially. The amount of time
for the monitored pressure to reach a specific drop represents the oxidation stability of the
oil. The results are in minutes. The higher the time value result, the better the oxidation
stability of the fluid.
Basically, the oil sample is absorbing oxygen. Oxygen, in turn, will cause oxidation and
breakdown of fluid. This is when viscosity increase may occur as well as sludge formaPower

BG Power Clean, Part No. 332
This test is ASTM D 2272 Oxidation Stability of Steam Turbine Oils by Rotating Pressure
Vessel. It was originally designed to measure the oxidation stability of new and in-service turbine oils. To our knowledge, there is no industry standard oxidation test for power steering
fluids. It is our opinion that the combination of the water and the copper used as a catalyst
in the RBOT test give a fair representation of the harsh atmosphere that a hydraulic-type
system may encounter. A power steering system is actually a type of hydraulic system.
Thin Film Oxygen Uptake Test (TFOUT)
ASTM D 4742
This test is ASTM D 4742. It was originally developed for measuring oxidation stability in
engine oils, but again, since there is no power steering fluid oxidation test, we have chosen
to run the TFOUT test to get a general overview of antioxidant quality in power steering
fluids.

BG Power Steering Conditioner, Part No. 330
Below is a TFOUT chart showing the improvement in oxidation stability when BG Power
Steering Conditioner, Part No. 330, is added to different power steering fluids. Again, we
use this test to show a general trend of the improvement BG Power Steering Conditioner
can contribute.
Brake Service
A skilled technician will check the condition of the vehicle’s
brake fluid and, if necessary:
• Remove contaminated fluid from the brake lines and
master cylinder.
• Replace the old fluid with High Temp Formula BG
Heavy Duty DOT 3 or DOT 4 Brake Fluid, which is
demoisturized to prevent corrosion.
• The entire brake system will be inspected for leaks,
master cylinder corrosion, worn pneumatic parts,
harmful varnish build-up, broken or rusted bleeder
valves, worn rotors and drums, and air in the brake
lines.
BG Products brand brake fluid is manufactured with oxidation and corrosion inhibitors to
prolong component life, and help protect the entire braking system from damage.
BG Ultra Dry DOT 3 and DOT 4 Brake Fluid is produced in a unique “Demoisturized”
formula, that surpasses the quality of most other DOT 3 and DOT 4 rated fluids. Since
brake fluid absorbs moisture, most manufacturers recommend flushing the brake system
every 2 years or 24,000 miles.
Below is a chart with minimum typical boiling points of DOT 3 and DOT 4 brake fluids as
well as typicals for BG brake fluids.

The conclusion is that BG brake fluids have higher boiling point values and can withstand
high heat braking situations.
BG DOT 4 Brake Fluid, Part No. 840
Extremely important and often overlooked, brake fluid is the medium that transmits energy from pressure on the brake pedal to the caliper and wheel cylinder pistons. All brake
fluids chemically degrade due to constant cycles of heat and pressure. Brake systems can
be compromised by internal corrosion, which can pit the bores of the master cylinder,
calipers, wheel cylinders, and ABS components. Decomposed brake fluid can also dry
seals, thus causing leaks and failure. By flushing the braking system with 1 quart of DOT
approved BG Brake Fluid, you will positively protect the braking system from harmful
dangerous deposits and varnish build-up.

Battery Service
A skilled technician will:
• Apply BG Battery Cleaner & Leak Detector.
• Inspect battery, terminals and cables.
• Clean battery posts and terminals.
• Install anti-corrosion BG Battery Terminal Protectors.
• Seal battery posts, terminals and case.
BG Battery Cleaner & Leak Detector, Part No. 885, is a solvent
blend which includes a pH indicator (or dye) that will give color response to acid leakage and corrosion that may occur at the post/terminal location. This can give warning of the need for additional cleaning
or of the presence of a crack or leak around the terminals.
BG Ignition & Battery Terminal Sealer, Part No. 490, is then
used to seal the terminals and cables and restore cracked wiring. This
product provides a seal and insulation so as to keep out moisture. It
contains a polymeric chemistry (similar to the idea of polyurethane or a
varnish) in liquid form. This chemistry coats the surface, and then the
solvent evaporates leaving a solid coating to seal and insulate.
Air Conditioning Service
A trained A/C technician using specialized tools will:
• Inspect the vehicle’s air conditioning lines, evaporator and compressor for leaks and wear.
• Measure and inject oil, if needed, which will extend
compressor life, provide quieter and smoother operation and protect against rust and corrosion.
• Use a special EPA and USDA accepted product to kill
mold and fungi and freshen A/C.
• Road test the vehicle.
This service should be performed every year.
Moisture is the greatest enemy of air conditioning systems. One drop of moisture in excess
of the amount that the desiccant in the receiver-dryer can handle may cause irreparable
damage to the internal parts of the air conditioner. Even minute quantities of moisture will
corrode the evaporator, compressor, condenser coils and other metal tubing. BG Universal
Frigi-Quiet® is non-corrosive to copper, copper-alloys and aluminum. It also protects aluminum components, valves, fittings and metal tubing.
Use the 8-ounce size of BG Universal Frigi-Quiet® when retrofitting an R-12 system to
R-134a, or the 2-ounce size when servicing an air conditioning system. Add BG Universal
Frigi-Quiet® to help prevent problems in new air conditioning systems.
BG Universal Frigi-Quiet® meets or exceeds manufacturers’ performance requirements. It will:
• Reduce wear and noise in air conditioner compressors.
• Reduce maintenance costs.
• Prevent rust and corrosion in the system.
• Help avoid costly breakdown of compressor units.
• Increase compressor life.
• Aid in leak detection.
• Be compatible with all PAG and mineral oils.

Tests of air being blown through the air conditioning system of a Chevrolet Blazer indicated that there were 500 colonies of mold spores in the evaporator core and housing.
BG Frigi-Fresh® was sprayed into the air intake vent for 15 seconds with the air
conditioner set on “normal” and the fan running at medium speed. Ten minutes after
BG Frigi-Fresh® was sprayed into the system, only 14 colonies remained. After ten
more minutes, only seven colonies were alive. Thirty minutes after treatment with
BG Frigi-Fresh,® testing showed that all mold and fungi had been eliminated from the
system.

L-60-1 Evaluation of Thermal and Oxidative Stability
of Lubricating Oils Used for Manual Transmissions
and Final Drive Axles
ASTM D 5704
This test evaluates oil thickening, solubles formation, and deposit formation of automotive
manual and final drive axle lubricants under high temperature oxidizing conditions.
Failed gears after regular L-60 test
Gears after 6X L-60 test using
BG Ultra Guard,™ Part No. 750
Test length = 300 hrs. (extended length)
Viscosity Increase = 60.6%
Pentane Insolubles = 0.38%
Toluene Insolubles = 0.16%
Carbon and varnish rating on gears = 8.0
Sludge rating on gears = 9.49
As can be seen by the above results, BG Ultra Guard™ is a superior gear oil that well
exceeds the requirements of a regular length L-60 test even after a 6X (300 hrs.) time
limit. The extended length test was performed because of a specification called “Eaton
Roadranger.” This specification requires a 6X length test. Eaton is a major manufacturer of
drivetrain components, from transmissions to driveshafts to final drive axles.
BG Ultra-Guard,™ Part No. 750
Regular length L-60 test = 50 hrs.
Temperature = 325°F
Viscosity Increase Allowed = 100%
Pentane Insolubles under 3%
Toluene Insolubles under 2%
Carbon and varnish rating on gears must be at least 7.5 (perfectly clean is 10.0)
Sludge rating on gears must be at least 9.4 (perfectly clean is 10.0)
Thermal Stress Test
Three gear oils were heated at 250°F for 600 hours, then stirred with a magnetic device.
Sample at left is BG Ultra Guard,™ Part No. 750. BG’s proprietary antioxidant system with
synthetic oil base stocks DID NOT create varnish. The two samples at right are two high
quality major oil companies’ GL-5 gear oils. Exhausted oxidation inhibitors and normal
petroleum oil base stocks created rock hard varnish.
The photos below show gears after an L-37 Low Speed/High Torque Test using BG Ultra
Guard,™ Part No. 750. The L-37 test has a running time of 24 hrs. at 275°F and 600 ft-lbs of
torque, which is a very high load. The pass/fail criteria require that there be no “significant”
distress observed on the gears. These gears are clean with virtually no wear. The tooling
marks still remain on the gear teeth of both the pinion (left) and the ring (right) gears.
BG Ultra-Guard,™ Part No. 750
L-37 Low Speed/High Torque Test
BG Ultra Guard™ Heavy Duty
BG Ultra Guard™ Heavy Duty 75W-140, Part No. 752, is the exact same chemistry as BG
Ultra Guard,™ Part No 750. The only difference is viscosity. BG Ultra Guard™ Heavy Duty
75W-140, Part No. 752, meets Ford Engineering Specification No. WSL-M2C192-A, which requires a 75W-140 multigrade gear oil formulated to be “polymer free” or without viscosity
improving type chemistry. The concern with viscosity improvers is that shear may occur,
which means the fluid may lose viscosity or thin out. Ford did not want to risk this occurrence, so they wrote the requirement into their specification.
