It does use an ashless dispersent formula, tho, to hold dirt in suspension. The oils used in autos may foam at high temps and altitudes. Also they are totally usless in an aircooled engine the size and design aircraft use. If you go to your local petroleum distributor of aviation fuel and oil there is a very good chance you will find a video put out by Shell on their oils. It is free and is very informative. Good luck, Walter Dodson 1895740 IA, IV-P 95%
