Frequently Asked Questions about
Centurion Oil Fortifier
Centurion / Opti-Lube oil fortifier is designed to treat and
improve oil, but does not treat the metal. Metal is not porous in a way that it
can 'soak up' a liquid like a sponge does. While our oil fortifier clings to
parts preventing dry starts, most of it is removed at each oil change, so it
must be added each time new oil is added.
No, because it treats the oil and not the metal and does not
change the basic characteristics of the oil, warranties are not affected.
The price varies slightly by the quantity purchase, but buying
by the quart it costs just $1.25 to treat each quart of oil or $6.25 at each oil
change. Because fuel economy is improved by an average of at least 11%, it pays
for itself very quickly.
Exact pricing is available on our order page.
Virtually any type of gas, diesel, natural gas or propane
engine. We even have antique cars and steam locomotives benefiting from our oil
fortifier.
However, engines that share their oil with wet clutches, such as found on some
motorcycles, need friction. Centurion oil fortifier should not be used in this
type of engine
For engines, 5% treatment the first time (which is 1.5 ounces
per quart of oil)
and then 3% at each oil change (1 ounce per quart of oil).
Manual transmissions, transfer cases and differentials should be
treated at 5% (1.5 ounces per quart of oil).
Power steering pumps should be treated with 2 ounces total.
There are also many industrial and commercial applications.
NOTE: Do not add to limited slip or posi-trac type differentials which need
friction to operate.
Not recommended for automatic transmissions
No, there is no Teflon® or
any other solid particles in our oil fortifier.
Teflon® won't stay on a frying
pan when metal rubs against it, how can it possibly cling to an oily engine
block and stay there for 50,000 miles?
Yes, it is compatible with any type of synthetic oil that is
designed for vehicle engines or transmissions.
It is also compatible with transmission fluid, but should not be added to
automatic transmissions.
Centurion / Opti-Lube has almost no effect on viscosity, it flows at -35°
and can be used in light engine oils to heavy gear oil.
No, it can be added any time. Centurion oil fortifier
replenishes motor oil additives that deplete over time, including oxidation
inhibitors, acid neutralizers and anti-wear additives. Adding at an oil change
is just the most cost effective time.
The maximum benefits are at 5% for engines and hydraulics, 10%
for manual transmissions and gear boxes.
Adding more will not offer any benefit.
Hundreds of uses, from manufacturing, construction, industrial,
mining, power generation and home use.
Click here for some specific uses.
Yes, this is a multi-function fortifier designed to cling to
metal parts, preventing dry starts, oxidation inhibitors that protect your oil
at high temperatures, acid scavengers that protect metal from corrosive
byproducts of combustion and a detergent package that prevents varnish build up
on internal parts.
With new vehicles you investment is protected and wear is
reduced to provide additional trouble free miles.
On older vehicles, further wear is reduced and friction minimized on worn parts.
While nothing can replace worn metal, engines do run much quieter after the
addition of Centurion oil fortifier. Fuel economy is improved on any engine.
As long as the engine oil is not shared with 'wet clutches',
your motorcycle will run cooler and better.
Lawnmower type engines are a perfect place to use our oil
fortifier. Customers comment on much farther they can mow with a tank of gas and
their engines are quieter.
Yes, by adding 1 ounce of oil fortifier to each 10 gallons of
gasoline IN ADDITION to the 2 stroke oil that you already use.
Centurion is designed to treat the oil, to increase film
strength and reduce friction without changing viscosity. In our testing, we have
not found any product that can stick to an oily engine block and remain for
50,000 miles.
