Clearly in that thread and this a lot of research has been done.
Jet engines run an average of 10 hrs/day with temps running between 1400C/2552F and 1700C/3092F The metals used in these engines begins to melt at 1300C Keep in mind long-haul flights range between 10 - 16 hrs non-stop. ONLY the materials, science, engineering and advanced cooling techniques keep them from melting and catastrophe failure. EVERYTIME an aircraft lands maintenance meets the aircraft and gives it a thorough post flight check. ALL engines will have oil loss for a variety of reasons.(side note the jet fuel burns around 2000C in the combustion chamber)
I don't understand the enthusiasm with Jet oil
Regarding aviation products, several owners use Nitrogen in the tires for less air leakage/loss and temperature fluctuations. Every 5-6 months requires adding about 3psi (36psi required )
Using nitrogen in the tires is a waste of money, air comprises about 78% nitrogen anyway. With just 21% oxygen in the tires oxidation inside the tires will be very slow.Filling the tires with air with little moisture in it is the best and cheapest. Using nitrogen ensures the absence of moisture and that is the best reason to use it.
Tires are replaced due to the condition of the outside of the tire if it has been run at the correct pressure. Use nitrogen if you want but when the tire pressure needs topping up you may damage the tire inside just driving around looking for a nitrogen source. ☹️
If a garage wants to fill my tires with nitrogen for free I would say yes, but I would not pay for it.
