Why are ‘forced DPF regenerations’ bad for modern diesel engines?
Forced DPF regenerations often cause some of the excess fuel required for regenerations to get past the piston rings into the engine oil. This causes excessive fuel dilution of the oil, which is bad for any modern diesel engine. Often, forced ‘regens’ also promote diesel soot backing up into the engine, causing damage to the…
Read MoreHow does oil help keep an engine cool?
Lubricating oil has 2 often-overlooked, yet very important functional requirements – It has to COOL and it has to CLEAN the engine components it is in contact with. Full, unrestricted flow of clean oil to all engine components is essential to provide proper cooling and lubricating benefits to the engine. A highly effective way to…
Read MoreWhat is the root cause of the DPF problems my engine has?
The root cause of Diesel Particulate Filter problems is the overproduction and accumulation of diesel combustion soot during the combustion and exhaust process, which consequently blocks DPFs. There is an effective low-cost solution… Find Out More! Stopped DPF regens “2014 Cummins ISX, done just over 785,000 miles. Was doing DPF regens all the time. Soot…
Read MoreHow can I reduce the heat coming from my transmission?
Transmission heat is generated from 2 sources. Firstly, frictional heat occurs when the oil film is ruptured allowing metal-to-metal contact. Secondly, heat is generated through fluid friction caused by the constant churning of the oil during operation. AW10 Antiwear is formulated to deliver tremendous improvement in lubricant load carrying ability, wear reduction, and friction and…
Read MoreWhat happens when sludge builds up inside an engine?
Engine oil cleanliness is vital to the life of an engine! When sludge builds up inside an engine, it restricts the flow of vital oil through the oil filter and oil galleries and subsequently to all lubricated engine components. Ultimately, this restricted and contaminated oil supply can lead to complete engine failure. Use remarkably effective…
Read MoreHow to increase oil’s load carrying strength without changing viscosity
Increase the load carrying capacity of your oil, whether it be engine, transmission, final drive or hydraulic oil. AW10 Antiwear multiplies the oil’s load carrying ability without increasing its viscosity (or drag). This Oil Enhancer carries a much higher load than the oil itself is capable of; making every lubricated part more protected, efficient and…
Read MoreHow do I effectively remove engine sludge to prevent an expensive overhaul?
Engine oil cleanliness is vital to the life of an engine! Any sludge can restrict the flow of oil to critical engine components, causing component failure and ultimately, an expensive engine overhaul. By using remarkably effective Flushing Oil Concentrate as recommended, it will effectively remove the most persistent engine sludge and all hard baked on…
Read MoreWhy does my engine oil light sometimes come on?
The engine oil light comes on when your engine suffers a drop in pressure at the oil pressure sensor. Apart from a faulty oil pressure sensor, the problem can be caused by: insufficient oil pressure leaving the oil pump. Without enough oil pressure, the engine can’t lubricate itself sufficiently. If the engine continues to be…
Read MoreExtended oil drain intervals: good or bad?
Manufacturers of many modern passenger car and light truck engines recommend extended oil drain intervals; 12,000 to 15,000 miles is not uncommon. It’s almost impossible for these engines to operate for such extended intervals without forming engine-destroying sludge in the lubricating system. The solution to this problem is to use Flushing Oil Concentrate at every…
Read MoreWhat is the background of FTC Decarbonizer?
FTC Decarbonizer is a result of research scientists working on organo-metallic materials to act as an octane booster in gasoline, decades ago. Their work concentrated on a group of chemicals classified as metal-based combustion catalysts. One chemical in particular proved extremely interesting to them – they discovered that the addition of trace amounts of this…
