Engine Lubricants and Additives: The Complete Technical Guide

The proper selection and application of engine lubricants and additives is critical for maximizing engine performance, extending service life, and reducing operational costs. At Runda Chemical, we’ve developed cutting-edge additive technologies that redefine lubrication standards.

Industry Insight: Proper lubrication can reduce engine wear by up to 70%

The Science of Engine Lubrication

Modern engine lubricants and additives work together to create a comprehensive protection system. Base oils provide fundamental lubrication, while specialized engine oil lubricant additives enhance performance, protect against wear, and extend service life.

Lubrication Performance Enhancement

Base Oil Performance: 40% | Additive Enhancement: 60%

Additives transform basic lubricants into high-performance engine protection systems

Critical Additive Technologies

Advanced engine oil lubricant additives address specific challenges in modern engines:

Diesel Lubricity Additives

Modern ultra-low sulfur diesel fuels require specialized diesel lubricity additive formulations to protect fuel system components. Our best diesel lubricity additive technology restores the lubricating properties removed during sulfur reduction processes.

Wear Protection Additives

Anti-wear and extreme pressure additives form protective films on metal surfaces, preventing direct contact under high-load conditions. These are essential components in comprehensive engine lubricants and additives packages.

Detergent and Dispersant Additives

Keep engines clean by preventing sludge formation and suspending contaminants. These additives work synergistically with diesel fuel lubricant additive components to maintain system cleanliness.

Diesel Lubricity Solutions

The removal of sulfur from diesel fuels has created significant lubrication challenges. Our specialized diesel additive for lubricity solutions address these issues:

Fuel System Protection

Our best diesel fuel lubricity additive forms protective layers on injection pumps and injectors, reducing wear by up to 75% compared to untreated fuel

Reduced Friction

Advanced diesel lubricity additive technology lowers friction coefficients, improving fuel efficiency by 3-5% and extending component life

Thermal Stability

Maintains lubricating properties at extreme temperatures encountered in modern high-pressure common rail systems

Compatibility

Our diesel fuel lubricant additive formulations are compatible with all diesel fuels including biodiesel blends up to B20

Selecting the right engine oil lubricant additives requires understanding key performance parameters:

  • HFRR Wear Scar Diameter: Critical measurement for diesel lubricity additive performance
  • Thermal Stability: Resistance to degradation at high temperatures
  • Compatibility: Interaction with base oils and other additives
  • Shear Stability: Resistance to mechanical breakdown
  • Dispersancy: Ability to keep contaminants suspended

Diesel Engine Applications

For optimal protection, use our best diesel fuel lubricity additive at every fuel fill. The recommended treat rate of 1:2000 provides maximum protection for fuel system components.

Gasoline Engine Applications

Our comprehensive engine oil lubricant additives should be added at every oil change. For high-mileage engines, use our specialized formulation with additional seal conditioners.

Fleet Applications

For commercial fleets, implement our diesel additive for lubricity program to reduce maintenance costs and extend vehicle service life.

“Our trucking fleet was experiencing frequent fuel injector failures until we implemented Runda Chemical’s best diesel lubricity additive program. Injector replacement costs decreased by 65% and fuel economy improved by 4.2% across our entire fleet.”

Michael Johnson

Fleet Manager, National Transport Co.

“As a heavy equipment operator in the mining industry, engine reliability is critical. Runda Chemical’s diesel fuel lubricant additive has extended our engine overhaul intervals by 40% and significantly reduced downtime. This is truly the best diesel fuel lubricity additive we’ve ever used.”

Sarah Rodriguez

Maintenance Supervisor, Mountain Mining Inc.

What makes the best diesel lubricity additive?

The best diesel lubricity additive combines excellent HFRR performance with thermal stability, compatibility, and additional benefits like detergency. Our RundaLube Pro achieves HFRR wear scars under 400μm while providing comprehensive engine protection.

How do diesel lubricity additives work?

Diesel lubricity additive technology works by forming protective molecular layers on metal surfaces. These layers prevent direct metal-to-metal contact, reducing friction and wear in fuel injection systems and other critical components.

Can I use the same additives for gasoline and diesel engines?

While some engine oil lubricant additives work in both engine types, specialized diesel additive for lubricity formulations are optimized for the unique challenges of diesel operation, particularly addressing the lubrication deficiencies of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuels.
