This section contains results of oil analyzes of samples taken from Adrenalube © consumer vehicles. By going through the different tables, we can see the performance of the oil’s lifespan obtained using the Adrenalube © additives.

The services of external consultants in oil analysis expertise and those provided by the laboratory which analyzes the samples taken allow us to provide you with suggestions for use specific to your vehicle and your needs. Continued and moderate use of our products will not only extend the life of a vehicle’s propulsion unit, but will also save usage and reduce your vehicle’s carbon footprint considerably.

Note: It is not suggested to decrease the frequency of oil changes (as much as some of our customers do, re. Our case studies) without first observing the condition of the oil by doing an analysis with a recognized laboratory.
