Does Varouh Oil, Inc.s products have paraffins which cause sludging while other brands don ?
A..Sludging is prevented by, not caused by, the use of paraffinic oils. Varouh Oil, Inc. as well as all other major motor oil producers use paraffinic base oils to produce motor oil. This type of base oil has advantages over the other types of mineral oil available, which is why they are universally used. The only exceptions are synthetic motor oils, which of course cost much more than mineral oil based motor oils. Synthetic base stocks are 100% paraffinic. Technically, paraffinic oil is a term used to describe the chemical structure, not the wax content. Through dewaxing in the refinery and the addition of pour point depressants during blending any harmful effects of wax are eliminated or neutralized. 5.Q..
