This is water emulsifying a natural oil not a mineral oil. Literally it curdles the oil into little balls of crud. It may do so under pressure, I am not sure of the process but there is pressure involved. The idea is to get an organic solvent that will allow the oil to consistently reject water to a bottom layer it could be removed and this organic substance should be biodegradable. Mineral oil is immune to the crudifying effects of water. Come to think of it I am guessing that this is even an emulsification effect. It is more like the water is treating the oil as an emulsification and curdling it. Oil gets acid in motors but this has no combustion processes to introduce acids. There would be some dirt getting in there, but water is the main culprit. I think the silicon oils are an environmental problem. EC<:-}
