Real-life situations

This section presents results of oil analyzes performed on equipment components; engine, gearboxes, etc. of our customers. The following tables demonstrate the effectiveness of Adrenalube © additives by comparing the equipment analyzed before and with the use of our additives. Several parameters demonstrate that there is an improvement in yield such as; the decrease in the rate of wear metals, the decrease in oxidation, the cleanliness (health) of the oil, even after a longer use, the increase in the spacing between oil changes, lower diesel consumption (testimonials section), reduction in GHGs, etc.

ADRENALUBE© ADDITIVES USED

  • ZP-700 Engine Oil Additive Treatment      
  • Quantity : 1.9 Liters (2 bottles of 946ml)

GHG REDUCTION

  • The engine oil consumption of this truck has been reduced by 280 liters (7 oil changes)
  • 800 kilograms of CO2 were not sent into the atmosphere

NOTES

  • In summer, the engine of this truck idles regularly* 
  • In winter, equipped with two snow plows and an abrasive spreader, it is subject to intense use. Snow removal increases the effort required on the engine and therefore on the oil.

*An engine running at low speed (idling) causes twice the wear of internal parts than driving at normal speed. A substantial amount of carbon deposits from incomplete combustion is found in the oil and in the air, which increases the aging of the oil and GHGs.
