Oil system additives can either be applied to a base oil at manufacture or applied as a aftermarket oil supplement. Wynn’s oil additive’s cover a wide range of solutions to help, for example, stop a leak, protect a ‘start / stop’ engine or help a diesel engine run smoother and cleaner.
Motor oils bought off the shelf can contain around 15% to 30% oil additives so you might be wondering why do I need to purchase oil system additives separately?
How does it work?
Oil system additives are a chemical compound added to oil and without them oil would not be able to carry out essentials functions around the engine.
Oil over time will naturally degrade and those additives introduced at manufacture may be lost or have less effectiveness through oil settling, absorption onto metals or water surfaces or filtering.
Contamination builds-up in an engine between service intervals, in the vehicle oil and fuel system which affects performance
Contamination is created as a result of biofuels (E10 and B7), incorrect oil top-ups, urban driving styles and stop/start engines, to name a few. Cleaning the oil and fuel system during a service, provides the ultimate cleaning solution to restore the efficiency and performance of a vehicle.
