Omstar RESIDUAL® for large diesel engines using diesel (5, 6/bunker fuel)
US Patent No. 4,920,691 for Omstar DX1 issued in May of 1990 states:
"...high molecular weight straight-chain carboxylic acid esters survive the combustion in the cylinder and are available to react with the rings and cylinder walls ...this forms a metal soap which provides lubrication in the boundary friction region and is a great improvement over conventional mineral oil-based overhead lubrication. ..." (this process is called "Chemisorption")
DX1 inventor Morton Fainman, Ph.D., was one of the world's foremost experts on the lubricity powers of synthetic esters. He began his research when he served in the US Army in France and Germany in 1944, as the commanding officer of an Army mobile petroleum laboratory working to improve fuel economy and lubricity of fuels for allied military vehicles. He continued this work after the war, when he went to work for Standard Oil of Indiana, while also still serving as a US Army Reserves Captain in charge of the Army petroleum laboratory located at Standard Oil's research facility in Whiting IL. Fainman published his first research paper on the use of synthtic esters for lubrication in 1957. In 1988, he had what he called his "sudden insight" come to him about combining both low and high molecular weight synthetic esters into one fuel lubricant and DX1 was created.
DX1 is a patented formula (May 1990 #4,920,691 and February 2023 patent pending) composed of two synthetic esters in a mineral oil carrier. Here is the description of how DX1 works from the 1990 patent:
