A significant part will be water which I understand is high in acid. It will also allow you to monitor the amount of blow-by between oil changes. I use a small metal can with a fitting in the top and a 1/8" vent hole for a syringe to suck the residue out. The syringe makes it easy to measure the volume and water/oil ratio. Just one look and you will not want to pour this stuff back in your engine. Steve Colwell L2K
