Addition of any one of the above products will reduce your oils' viscosity and the oils' ability to impart proper lubrication on the main bearing journals. Notwithstanding, well documented chemical incompatibilities and notable side effects. Whenever an acid molecule is neutralized, one molecule of water plus one molecule of salt will be produced as the byproducts. The resultant water and salt become the main culprits which will eventually eat your system from the inside out. The incorporation of alcohol in the above mixtures serve to further complicate matters.
Alcohol drives all water out of the drier desiccant.
Your drier will become completely disabled to perform the function for which it is intended. Overtime, the driers' desiccant begins to adsorb the free alcohol circulating in the system. This is because your drier prefers alcohol over water. Sealed tube tests have shown that small quantities of alcohol will react with metal, cause insulation to become brittle and deposit solid gray aluminum masses into the oil. The Neutral Zone Being a longtime bench chemist, I have lots of skill and experience when it comes to adjusting or neutralizing the pH of a solution.
