Oil additives

Motor oil additives are chemical products which are added into lubricants for improving their operational properties. Particularly, such additives are unreplaceable if the car engine works in extreme conditions. They allow to lower oil consumption, noise of working engine, remove smoking, preserve compression. Top quality additives also prevent the engine from fast wearing.

Types of motor oil additives:

• Detergent. They are made for getting rid of oil contaminants which lead to deposit formation on the engine components.
• Anti-corrosion. They slow down oxidation process of metal elements.
• Depressor. They prevent oil from freezing at low temperatures.
• Anti-wear. They reduce friction between engine details.
• Anti-smoke. They prevent oil penetrating into the combustion chamber and are perfect for cars with high mileage.

Composition

Main components of motor oil additives differ according to purposes of these products. Thus, detergents include sulfonates of magnesium and calcium, phenolates and salicylates. For friction reduction molybdenum disulfide is used as well as alcohol, compound ethers, amides of fatty acids. Additives which include ZDTP (zink dithiophosphate), amines, phenols, phosphites slower oxidation process of engine metal details. Moreover, compositions of additives include viscosity modifiers (polyisobutylene, polymethacrylates), dispersing agents (oligomers of polyisobutylene and ethyl-propylene) and other components.
