Lucas Oil has launched a new engine oil additive, designed to increase engine protection, at AutoSport International 2020 this week.
‘Low viscosity stabilizer’ is a premium synthetic engine oil additive, Which Luca Oil claims delivers a range of additional benefits to help control emissions, restore lost engine power and protect against dry starts.
It is designed for a wide range of lower viscosity synthetic engine oils including 5w20, 0w30, 0w20 and even 0w-16, making it suitable for use in hybrid cars.
Suitable for hybrids
A Lucas Oil spokesperson said: “Low viscosity stabilizer improves oil dispersity inside the engine.
“This reduces sludge and varnish production inside the engine block, which helps to reduce friction, improve performance and increase efficiency.
“At the same time, oil oxidisation is inhibited, which extends the protective lifetime of the oil.”
The Oil company says that the key benefit is its use as an additive will not void a new car warranty and will not be picked up by viscosity sensors.
The spokesperson added: “In new engines, the build-up of carbon is prevented, ensuring that new car fuel economy and power levels and are maintained.
“In untreated or older engines, fuel economy andlost power levels are restored by the removal of pre-existing carbon deposits.”
Dry starting
The new additive also claims to deliver protection against dry starts – the number one cause of damage to new engines.
The spokesperson added: “Dry starts may occur after short or long periods of engine inactivity, when the oil drains down into the sump.
“Low viscosity stabilizer ensures that a protective film remains over each moving part, so that at the re-start, all moving parts are protected.”
