It's super fine pure Carbon. (Look at above post)What kinda powder is this where did you buy it?

Scientifically oil plus carbon = nano-lubricant.It's super fine pure Carbon. (Look at above post)
My impression from article above is that carbon powder is very delicate matter. You add just enough and it reduces friction, you add a little more than that and it becomes abrasive.I found this on the diesel forums, interesting read and I’m not sure what to take away from this carbon research. Carbon wears metal faster when ZDDP is present yet somehow is a good friction when no ZDDP is present. Can anyone make more sense of this research paper?
Nano carbon particles are probably acting as cushions between metal parts - same with an additive like Cera Tec. If it's a parts build tolerance stack-up then it's a mechanical clearance issue, not an oil cavitation issue. Engines and journal bearings have been made for over 100 years, yet the Coyote is the only engine in the world that has ticking noises from oil cavitation problems? I don't buy the cavitation theory.My BBQ Tick is solved!! It's 100% CAVITATION!
Today I added a tea-spoon of extremely fine carbon powder to 1/2 quart of oil & mix. Drove it 10 miles & my tick is GONE! So, far.
Why doesn't all 5.0's have the tick or one is worse than another? My guess, build tolerance stack-up from engine to engine could have something to do with it.
I think their theory - bubbling is causing accelerated bearing wear.Nano carbon particles are probably acting as cushions between metal parts - same with an additive like Cera Tec.

According to pdf above carbon may also wear parts if added more than necessary.Instead of cavitation, how does he know it's not piston slap?
If you add carbon particles to the oil, it could also temporarily fill in tiny abnormalities in the cylinder wall to cushion and quiet down the slap.
Why would oil bubble and cavitate in the Coyote and not in 1000 other different engine designs? Ford can't be that inept in the engine design department.I think their theory - bubbling is causing accelerated bearing wear.
It makes a little sense, remember that tsb they put out on the trucks saying the typewriter noise was how the oil was interacting with the bearings? maybe they just left out the part of it doing damage over time to the bearings lolWhy would oil bubble and cavitate in the Coyote and not in 1000 other different engine designs?

Yes, all very weird. But link in this thread https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/bbq-typewriter-and-bubbles.111410/ has interesting and easy to read info.Why would oil bubble and cavitate in the Coyote and not in 1000 other different engine designs?

I don't believe you will find any additive with lots of added carbon.Yeah... if there was at least one official oil additive that contained carbon, it would be possible to try that.
