Suprotek Additives for Motor Oil

On the shelves of car dealerships you can increasingly find various additives in motor oil. You can find compositions of completely different effects - from friction modifiers, which are most often based on molybdenum disulfide, to liquids that promise to restore sliding pairs, which contain serpentine, which forms a thin and very hard layer under shock loads. Suprotek is no exception. The assortment includes various “mixes” that promise to reduce engine and automatic transmission wear. They are poured directly into engine oil.

A huge selection of Suprotec products will allow you to choose an additive in any situation.

About the manufacturer

Suprotek is a domestic manufacturer of auto chemicals, they have been working in this market since 2002, and have a huge number of awards for their products. They are developing not only tribological compounds, but also a variety of lubricants, motor oils, cleaners and other chemicals for cars. The manufacturer has its own research laboratory and a modern production line. They received wide publicity thanks to the scandalous compositions for restoring the unit, since no one believes in the positive effect, but from my own experience I can say that nothing will help a damaged engine, but on engines with an average degree of wear, the positive effect is noticeable.

Operating principle of Suprotek additives

There are only 2 stages of processing the unit: at the first stage, all working surfaces are completely cleaned of layers of soot and other dirt formed during the operation of the unit. At the second stage, after using the additive, a new layer is created on the rubbing elements. It can consist of both old particles and those contained in the additive. After this, the thermal gaps in the friction pairs are reduced, for example, in the pastel camshafts this is especially noticeable.

Are they really effective and are there any consequences of using them?

If we assume that serpentine or a substance similar to it is present in the products, we can say with confidence that there is definitely an effect from the additives - this is a conclusion only based on the composition. Practice shows that on moderately worn engines there really is an effect: a new layer forms on the cylinder-piston group, on liners, camshaft pastels and other rubbing parts.

Reviews of Suprotek additives: pros and cons

A huge number of awards and positive reviews confirm the work of the compositions

It was discussed above why there are a lot of negative reviews about Suprotek tribotechnical compounds circulating on the Internet. But there are a huge number of people who have felt the effect of using these products, the main thing is not to bring the unit to the maximum degree of wear. You need to understand that nothing will help worn out liners.

Reviews about the compositions:

Positive	Negative
About 2 months ago, my Volkswagen Golf 7 began to show operating errors. The power decreased and tripping appeared. Well, with the use of the Suprotek product, engine operation improved with varying degrees of success. Let's see how this tool performs further.	The downside is that after using Suprotec, a hard-to-remove layer of film remains on the parts. But the manufacturer seems to say this, that the composition creates a protective film, which reduces wear on parts.
I started using Suprotek after the car had covered more than 50 thousand km, the traction increased significantly, and the compression leveled out. Because of these indicators, I think that Suprotek gave a positive effect to the engine.	At a mileage of 46,000 km, I treated the internal combustion engine (G4KE, 2.4 l) with Active composition in order (if you believe the advertising) to increase its resource. Kia Optima TF, 2012, made in Korea, bought new, careful operation, owner, who is also a single driver. Oil change every 7,500 km, treatment with Regular every 15,000 km. As a result, at a mileage of 156,400 km, the connecting rod bearing turned, the main journal and one cylinder lifted. Compression is 13 Bar on 3 cylinders and 12.5 Bar on the 4th. There was no trace of the oil-guzzler. Disassembling the engine showed that the fuel system cleaner and SGA were working because... the injectors were in pristine condition, the valves and combustion chambers were clean. A natural question arises: why did I buy the compounds?
The experience of using Suprotek products is limited, but the positive aspects of these products are obvious. I will not discuss the mechanism of action of additives. In practice, it works more smoothly and does not make as much noise when going uphill. Fuel consumption has not changed.	My car is old, but the diesel engine worked flawlessly. The mileage was over 250,000, I decided to extend the life... the first 2 stages did not yield anything, by the end of the third the oil pressure light began to blink. Apparently the pump was eaten by this abrasive. I'll go to the service one of these days, an autopsy will show.
I bought Suprotec for my French wife Renault Logan. Age 4 years, mileage 46,000 km. Oil began to burst, gasoline. During the passage, it turned out that the CO had increased. I decided to try Suprotec, I’ll have time for service. I noticed a significant effect after 2000 km. Gasoline consumes less, oil is almost all in place (before this I had to add 0.5...0.7 l). I went to the service center to measure the CO. Norm
Experiments are carried out on the least valuable crew members. Therefore, VAZ 21013, 25 years old, the number of engine repairs is unknown. I added the Suprotek additive according to the instructions. What after hundreds of miles. Better traction, less smoke. It is difficult to evaluate the remaining advantages and disadvantages of the additive without disassembling the engine.
At the end of November, my Audi Q3 car had problems starting the engine, there were extraneous noises and its power weakened. Following the instructions, I applied the Suprotek additive in a certain step-by-step manner. So, over time, stabilization was actually gradually observed. I have no complaints about the additive.
I thought about it for two years, and finally decided to pour it in. First impressions - it is clearly noticeable that the noise has decreased. He seems to be gaining a little more energy. Haven't noticed any difference in consumption yet
On Renault Kangoo I used “Suprotek – active plus”. I did everything basically as indicated in the instructions. After the second stage of application, I have already noticed improvements in engine power, jerks during gas acceleration have been eliminated and fuel consumption has stabilized. I liked the additive as a prophylactic agent.

Having studied all the reviews in detail, we can conclude that the product really works. The reduction in noise and fuel consumption is easily explained - the appearance of a protective layer reduces the gap in the friction pairs, which results in a reduction in the noise of the installation. I can assume that fuel consumption drops due to friction modifiers used in the compounds. Negative reviews are obvious, for example, on a Kia Optima with a G4KE engine, turning the liners is a pain - at first the installation just taps, and then jams.

Types of compositions and their properties

The product range is varied: there are liquids for completely different applications, but all of them are designed to extend the life of power units. There are additives for motor oil, automatic transmissions, transfer cases and gearboxes, as well as fuel.

Products for internal combustion engines:

The most popular representative of the line

Active plus gasoline/diesel is an additive created to restore working surfaces and protect against wear of engines whose mileage has exceeded 50 thousand kilometers. As practice shows, the use of the composition leads to the formation of a protective layer on all friction pairs of the installation. The liquid perfectly helps the engine during cold starts, since it forms a protective layer on the working surfaces, thereby reducing exhaust toxicity. The composition also stabilizes the oil and reduces its loss under heavy loads. Due to the reduction in thermal clearances, it works quieter, and the oil pressure, although slightly, increases.

Active gasoline/diesel - this product is designed to protect against wear and maintain the performance characteristics of the unit. This happens due to the formation of a thin protective coating on the working surfaces. The additive also significantly reduces engine slip thanks to friction modifiers. It is also worth talking about the increase in the resource of the internal combustion engine, softer starting in cold weather and the fact that the composition perfectly protects against wear under extreme loads.

Active Regular is a liquid designed to maintain the internal combustion engine in normal technical condition. Used only in engines already treated with Suprotec. Promises a soft start in cold weather, maintains the formed protective film, reduces slipping and waste of engine oil. Filled every time the oil is changed. Provides good wear protection in the harshest conditions.

OFF-ROAD 4X4 petrol/diesel is an excellent tribological composition designed to work in the most severe off-road conditions, where engines are subject to enormous loads. Designed for power units of SUVs. Bottle volume 200 ml. This can be explained by the fact that the crankcase of large cars holds more than 6 liters of lubricant. Properties include the formation of a protective layer and restoration of worn surfaces. Thanks to this, the engine runs quieter and harsh winter starts are more stable. Thanks to friction modifiers, fuel consumption is reduced and power is increased.

MAX is a product for internal combustion engine trucks. It has absolutely the same properties as all of the above liquids. Volume 200 ml. It works well in heavyweight engines, allowing you to increase service life, increase compression and reduce installation noise.

The best engine oil additives

A unique anti-friction conditioner that uses automotive lubricant as a carrier for friction units. When pouring, the dosage must be strictly observed. ER-8 is applied to rubbing components or added directly to the oil. Judging by the reviews, users are satisfied that the engine runs much quieter, and the time interval between oil changes increases.

No deficiencies were identified.

Suprotec Active Diesel

An additive to motor oil that improves the performance of the internal combustion engine. The basis of Suprotec Active Diesel products are cermet particles, which, when embedded in the surface of the components of the power unit, form a “metal-ceramic-metal-ceramic” pair, which is much more resistant to wear than “metal-to-metal”.

The principle of operation depends on the processing stage of the power unit. First, the composition washes away the remaining corrosion from the surface of engine parts. Further, under the influence of high temperature, metal-ceramic particles are embedded in metal surfaces, forming a protective layer that practically does not wear out. This allows you to restore the performance characteristics of the motor almost to its original parameters. “Indications” for use of the composition are:

increased consumption of lubricants, or, alternatively, their combustion above normal;
extraneous sounds from the engine compartment;
engine vibration, which is a source of discomfort for both the passenger and the driver;
the appearance of scoring in the internal combustion engine;
The oil pressure light is on.

reduction of grease waste, pronounced anti-smoke effect;
increasing oil pressure and compression in the cylinders;
reduction of diesel fuel consumption by approximately 10%;
minimizing extraneous noise and vibration in the engine compartment;
protection of the power unit from premature wear, in particular during a “cold” start.

There are no negative reviews. Many buyers note that the effect of using the additive does not occur immediately.

VMPAUTO Resources Universal

Nanoadditive-remetallizer, the use of which allows you to achieve the following results:

reduction of fuel and lubricant consumption;
vibration reduction;
reduction of noise and vibration.

The main active ingredient of the additive is nano-powder of an alloy of silver, tin and copper. As a result, a protective layer is formed on the surface of metal parts. It improves the performance of the cylinder group, crankshaft bearings, and also evens out microdefects on surfaces, making them almost invisible. The experiment showed that from the first moments of using the additive, wear is reduced fourfold. The restored surface has a porous structure, so it perfectly absorbs lubricant, thereby creating reliable protection against premature wear. The additive is packaged in 50 ml bottles.

warm up the engine to operating temperature, then turn off;
shake the bottle vigorously for about 0.5 minutes;
pour the contents into the oil filler neck;
Start the internal combustion engine so that it runs at idle speed for 10-15 minutes.

fuel savings up to 10%;
effective elimination of engine smoke;
reduction in oil waste by five times;
compression equalization;
ease of use;
performance.

Instructions for use

The use of the products is simplified as much as possible, there is no need to mix anything, the main thing is to fill in new oil before processing, then add the composition through the oil filler neck and let the engine idle for 20 minutes. Then drive 10-15 km at medium speed, which will allow the composition to be distributed throughout the engine lubrication system.

At the next oil change, you need to re-treat it with a product that maintains the performance characteristics of the power unit.

You can select an additive for your engine on the Suprotek website. At the 1st stage, a protective layer will be formed and the thermal gaps of the engine will be reduced; the second and subsequent treatments will only preserve the protective layer and maintain the unit in good condition.

We advise you to read the detailed instructions on the official website or on printed media, which is included in the delivery set of Suprotek tribological compounds.

It is recommended to wait until all the viscous liquid has drained.

How is it used?

The Forsan additive is available in three versions.

Protective package "Forsan". Used for engines with mileage up to 100 thousand km. It is recommended to add oil no earlier than after the engine has been run-in (the scheduled mileage established by the manufacturer, during which the engine must be operated in a gentle mode). The main purpose of this additive is wear protection.
Recovery package "Forsan". Recommended for engines with a high mileage (from 100 thousand km). This additive focuses on restoring worn metal surfaces of internal combustion engines.
Transmission additive. It is poured into such components as gearboxes, axles, and gearboxes. Works with high contact loads and moderate temperatures.

Filling proportions depend on the type of unit being processed and the volume of lubricant in it. The instructions for using Forsan formulations are quite complex and thought out in detail; they are supplied by the manufacturer along with the product.

Analogs

The additive market is quite diverse, but almost no one has been able to come close to the effect of Suprotek.

There are several effective additives:

ER is a very popular Japanese additive with an anti-crisis price. It is a metal conditioner and greatly reduces engine slip. Due to this, fuel consumption is reduced and engine starting becomes “softer”. Reviews say that the additive is a great help for old cars whose wear is already reaching critical levels. Quieter engine operation was also noted. The additive is poured into the oil at each change;
Liqui Moly CeraTec is a powerful friction modifier that contains organic molybdenum and boron nitride - excellent components that can reduce engine wear by reducing friction in the engine. The noise of the power unit is also noticeably reduced, and you can notice a slight decrease in fuel consumption. The price is quite high - 1500 rubles. After applying the composition, the oil becomes similar to condensed milk, but do not be alarmed, this color is given by microceramic particles;
Bardahl Full Metal is the coolest additive that can revive a worn-out internal combustion engine. Forms a hard layer that covers most of the wear of friction pairs, thereby increasing compression and reducing fuel consumption. It contains esters, which provides excellent adhesion to lubricated surfaces. Excellent protection against wear and significantly reduces friction of all plain bearings. It’s just a pity that the price is a bit high - 2000 rubles for one bottle, but the result will pleasantly please those who fork out the cash;
XADO Atomic Metal Conditioner is an amazing composition that really works, as confirmed by the majority of positive reviews and laboratory tests. Reduces thermal gaps in all engine friction points. Also reduces slipping in all work areas. Thanks to these qualities, fuel consumption is reduced, the engine runs quieter and smoother, since the compression in the cylinders is equalized. Will significantly increase the service life of the installation, suitable even for the most worn motors. Price: 1400 rubles.

Hado is a great choice for your money

Under a microscope

To understand what tribological compounds do to the engine, we conducted additional research. Firstly, before and after the tests, the journals of all crankshafts were tapped with a dynamic hardness tester to assess whether the hardness of the surfaces had changed. After all, the higher the hardness, the higher the wear resistance of the friction unit.

The only composition that gave a slight (4–6%) increase in the hardness of the surfaces of the main and connecting rod journals was Suprotec. We did not find any lasting effect when using other drugs.

We also sacrificed several liners, making them into samples for a friction machine in order to measure the friction coefficients in the liner-shaft pair. The oil in which the friction pair operated also contained the tested drugs. We studied the dynamics of changes in this parameter over the course of 250 thousand loading cycles.

Anti-friction additive for engine and transmission oils Liqui Moly Ceratec, Germany

Approximate price 1700 rub.

Claimed reduction in friction and wear over 50,000 km. Special microceramic particles are used together with an “additional chemically active” element that fills micro-irregularities.

+ The positive result for all tested positions is not the greatest, but visible and stable. Easy to use. Relatively inexpensive.

— Is there any persistence of the effect for the declared 50,000 km? Tests have shown that the reduction in friction coefficient is not as significant as with other drugs

For Bardahl and Liqui Moly compositions, on the contrary, the coefficient of friction first drops, and then begins to rise again! It seems that the layer formed by these compounds begins to work at a certain point. This means that it requires constant replenishment - therefore, these compounds must be constantly present in the oil, in contrast to the compositions of the group of geomodifiers.

In addition, we compared the microprofiles of the surfaces of the liners of “sick” motors in the areas of specially applied marks - before and after the healing procedure.

Engine oil additive SMT Oil Treatment, USA

Approximate price 700 rub.

Declared reduction in oil consumption and exhaust smoke, increased mobility of piston rings, increased power and reduced fuel consumption, increased compression.

+ The price is attractive, but rarely found on sale. There is a general trend of increasing engine parameters.

— The resulting effects are slightly higher than the measurement error - it will be difficult to feel them during the operation of the car.

Geomodifiers give the same effect, but it is less pronounced - the process resembles polishing. We cannot say how long the recovery effect will be. After all, the previous part of the tests, carried out on a friction machine, showed that metal-clad compositions require their constant presence in the oil.

Engine oil additive Bardahl Full Metal, Belgium

Approximate price 2500 rub.

Positioned as a new generation additive based on C60 fullerenes, which reduces friction, restores compression and reduces fuel consumption.

+ The composition worked well in all positions. The reduction in friction was the most significant, hence the visible effect on fuel consumption and power.

— The effect is great, but not “long-lasting”! The composition requires reuse at every oil change. Will it pay off?
