    Detergents (Surface Protective Additive): metallo-organic compounds of sodium, calcium, magnesium, boron phenolates, phosphates and sulfonates such as alkylbenzene sulfonic acids, alkylphenol sulfides, alkylsalacyclic acids; Lift deposits from surfaces to keep them suspended.

    exas Here is some information I posted a little while back. I read a study explaining the different AW/EP agents and it seems the Boron compounds are much more effective because of their physico-molecular properties while operatin under conditions found in engines. They also form "frictionless" plates similar to graphite that are bonded to metal surfaces. More 'high-tech' chemisty than Moly but can be expensive depending on the form it takes. Mostly seen high numbers in MC 5w20 and Penn YB. Maybe that's why they perform so well.
