Does Liqui Moly oil additive work?
Contents are high dosage of MOS2 (molybdenum-disulfide) and it does actually work well. It will reduce valve chain chatter, improve mpg, lower engine temperature and wear on an engine; however! First this will “dye” your oil an graphite grey when warm and second it will slightly thicken your oil.
What does Liqui Moly CeraTec do?
CERA TEC reduces friction and wear due to ceramic compounds that withstand extremely high chemical and thermal loads. Prevents direct metal-to-metal contact, thus increasing the engine service life. The low-friction effect reduces fuel consumption in gasoline and diesel engines.
How often should you use Liqui Moly CeraTec?
We recommend using this product every 5th oil service or every 25k miles. Cera Tec reduces the amount of friction and thereby the wear. This in turn benefits the engine, which is under less load. This can result in a lower susceptibility to repair and longer service life.
Is CeraTec useful?
CeraTec reduces friction and wear due to ceramic compounds that withstand extremely high chemical and thermal loads. Prevents direct metal-to-metal contact, thus increasing the engine service life. The low-friction effect reduces fuel consumption in gasoline and diesel engines.
Is MoS2 good for engine?
It has good cold-start behavior, as well as improved wear characteristics for modern engines. LIQUI MOLY MoS2 is also recommended for older Porsches with air-cooled engines. The extra additives are very effective at reducing wear for high-heat situations, another difficulty for oil manufacturers.
How do I use ceratec?
What is Cera Tec and how do I apply it?
- direct addition to the motor or transmission oil (cold or warm)
- ideally, pour in together with fresh oil when changing the oil.
- 300 ml is sufficient for up to 5 liters of motor oil.
- the optimal dosage is about 6 \% of the total oil fill quantity.
How many miles does ceratec work?
The product needs time and mileage to work its way into the engine parts, usually anywhere between 450 to 800 miles. 4 of 4 found this helpful. Do you? Liqui Moly recommends adding it to fresh oil during a oil change or add to existing oil when you have at least 5,000km (3,100 miles) left before an oil change.
Can ceratec be used in diesel engine?
Cera Tec is a high-tech ceramic wear protection product for all motor oils. The low-friction effect reduces fuel consumption in gasoline and diesel engines. It provides wear protection for engines, transmissions, pumps and compressors.
What does Liqui Moly MoS2 do?
MoS2 is a solid lubricant, similar to graphite. “It forms a protective layer on the metal surface, preventing direct contact between adjacent metal surfaces in the engine,” says David Kaiser, Head of Research and Development at LIQUI MOLY.
How do you use oil additive in MoS2 shooter?
Shake well before use! Dosage: In 4-stroke engines or the transmission: 20 ml (1 tube) is sufficient for 1 l of motor oil. For 2-stroke engines (mixture lubrication): 10 ml per 10 l of fuel mixture or for separate lubrication 20 ml for 1 l of 2-stroke oil.
Is Liqui Moly Ceretec any good?
Luckily Liqui Moly make some very good oils and I have been doing some research into Ceretec as it seems to be about the only friction reducing additive that does work to some extent. Firstly I would caution you that it might not be good for the spark plugs if you have a petrol car, although that possible side effect seems fairly minimal.
What is the difference between Liqui Moly MoS2 and Cera TEC ceratec?
The main purpose of Liqui Moly Ceratec is as same as the Liqui Moly Mos2. But the primary difference is that this is made with a more advanced formula to create low surface friction. Cera tec functions similarly to Oil Additive, but instead of MoS2, Cera Tec uses tiny ceramic crystals more challenging.
How effective is Liqui Moly ceratec in reducing engine noise?
Optimize return on investment for marketing spend, guided by experts from MIT. According to this [ 1] (independent?) review, Liqui Moly Ceratec in a Skoda Laura (I don’t know what engine it has) very slightly reduces engine noise, by <0.1\% and reduces vibrations in the steering wheel of the reviewers car by about 10\%.
Where to buy ceratec oil additive?
Ceratec is now available at yapscarparts.com, I requested he stock it and I noticed it’s now available for $24.95 for anyone who might be interested. In general oil additives don’t work and should only be considered when an engine has a specific problem that they might help alleviate, like a minor oil leak if you can’t fix it.
