sliming with WW (Water Wetter, eh ?):
almost 3 yrs experience says it is strictly time related
after 4 - 6 mos it seems to start coming out of solution (it is a synthetic oil) and then will rapidly build up, then start to slough off

with my test bench it is a disaster as I use needle valves for flow control and they won't work with ropy tendrils of goop cloging them up

I would suspect that any of the 'micro fin' wbs would have a performance hit over time

I experimented with several other additives, one was a similar oil, one foamed, one did not seem to work
I have no good answer (use no inhibitor now - no Al in system)

perhaps mota will comment, he has lots of experience with these
