Review on Lubegard 30901 Bio/Tech Engine Oil Protectant, 15 oz. - Enhance Performance and Extend Engine Life by Aravind Joshi

Revainrating 5 out of 5

True, science-based synthetic wax ester technology. Fantastic cold start protection!

I'm a big fan of science and NOT a fan of almost every other oil supplement sold today (with the exception of Liqui-Moly products). I prefer the highest quality synthetic motor oils (I like Pennzoil Platinum, PP High Mileage and Pennz Ultra Platinum best) and want to add almost nothing to these oils that hasn't already been carefully incorporated by Pennzoil (SOPUS). engineers. . However, this Lubeguard with LXE synthetic technology is "actual". real exception. Synthetic wax esters are a special type of wax ester that have a natural affinity for metal at the molecular level. It literally clings to the surface of the metal in your engine, forming a barrier of grease that won't drip. However, the molecular layer is so thin that it does not interfere with any engine mechanism, even the most delicate oil pressure controlled variable valve timing systems. , etc.). Many exotic synthetic motor oils offered by manufacturers (such as Nissan for their GTR) use the same technology to provide cold start (and high temperature/harsh conditions) lubrication to the turbines and complex valvetrain of the twin-turbo V6 engine in GTR of the latest generation to lubricate. But this oil costs over $13 a liter. Lubeguard offers your engine real scientific, tangible benefits: It is a self-binding synthetic fluid based on paraffin ester. So what does that mean? This means your roller rocker arms and everything in your valve train stays lubricated no matter how cold it is or how long the machine hasn't been used (I have a 2011 Outback that gets used once a week and that in itself is a huge benefit . . ). This means that the inherent extreme pressure qualities that the wax ester film has reduce abrasion of cylinder walls, cam wear and so on. The biggest benefit I've seen is during cold starts. The stock idle speed is much earlier, the engine is much quieter and there is no valve noise. When you consider that around 90% of engine wear occurs within 60 seconds of starting over the life of the engine (ie before the engine has had time to pump oil) this product offers a huge tangible benefit. Aside from other wear reduction benefits (and wear reduction at all times is a really real benefit), the cold start benefits are huge. And I noticed a significantly better start on a 35 degree Florida day with my 3.6 H6 engine which already has a Fram Ultra filter and Pennzoil Platinum. He was already working as a sewing machine. I can't imagine any improvement below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
