anti-friction compound extends oil drains
|
MaxR200™ is an anti-friction intermetallic compound that has the added
benefit of reducing oil drain requirements. This is accomplished by providing relief
from the two main causes of oil viscocity breakdown, contamination and heat.
A lot of the contamination in oil is metal particulate that gets chipped off during start-up and
ongoing operation of the vechicle. Once
MaxR200™ is added, a lubricating shield protects from metal-to-metal contact, which is
especially important during start-up. The result is a substantial reduction in contamination due
to cold or dry starts. Blow-by contamination will also not have as much of a negative impact, since
dirt particulate will not be contacting the metal and causing the damage typical to this problem.
Oxidation is another negative contributor to the health of oil. When water comes into contact
with metal, acids are formed that evenutally lead to oxidation and the breakdown of oil. After
MaxR200™ has been applied, water will not come into contact with the metal, thus
eliminating oxidation and extending the working life of the oil.
The second reason that oil breaks down is heat. Each degree of higher or lower temperature has
a significant impact on the viscocity of the oil. After
MaxR200™ is added to the motor, operating temperatures will drop. In previous
independent testing on three vehicles, the average drop in operating temperature was 18.6 degrees F.

How often should
MaxR200™ be Added?
We recommend adding
MaxR200™ to the motor every 20,000 miles, 30,000 kms or 500 operating hours. If a
vehicle idles for extended periods this interval should be adjusted.
MaxR200™ is added to engines at 2oz/quart of oil for the first application and
1oz/quart for ongoing applications.

Oil Drain Intervals
Since operating conditions vary for every vehicle, we do not specify when the oil should be changed.
Under the above conditions we suggest that oil drain intervals may be cut in half.
