What makes Extralube ZX1 so good?
Tribology
Tribology is the science and technology of controlling friction and wear.
The subject originated from the art of lubrication but has since developed to a much broader range of applications.
Most mechanical equipment is subject to damage by wear or else, wastes energy by frictional dissipation.
Classic illustrations of this rule are found in the domestic motor vehicle.
Almost half of the mechanical power generated by the engine is wasted in friction between pistons and cylinders and within the gearbox and transmission gears.
The sole purpose of the complicated system of engine cooling, i.e. a radiator, pump and channels within the engine block, is to provide sufficiently low temperatures for the lubricating oil.
With a vast array of different engine treatments on the market, it's difficult to know what is worth using, and what's not. Many people have heard the horror stories about sub-standard engine treatments ruining engines by clogging oil galleries or oil filters, or causing the bores to glaze, or any number of other problems. Some of these stories are true. None of them are about Extralube ZX1.
Extralube ZX1 is different to the other engine treatments available. Extralube ZX1 contains absolutely no teflon or PTFE (a common cause of the problems referred to above). Extralube ZX1 works not by altering the properties of the oil (or other lubricant), but by chemically bonding to the metal surfaces and modifying the friction properties of the metal. This modification allows the oil to do it's job even better, and results in drastically reduced friction and wear.
Extralube ZX1 is so good that those who use it either tell everyone they know, or keep it to themselves (in the constant quest for a competitive advantage).
A brief summary of the benefits of Extralube ZX1 is as follows:
- Completely universal with all oils, including synthetics
- Virtually eliminates friction
- Impregnates all wearing surfaces
- Excellent cold start protection and anti-wear performance
- Superb high temperature and turbo protection
- Protects immediately
- Lower wear rates than the best synthetic oils
- Consistently improves fuel economy
- Reduced exhaust emissions
- Protects for up to 40,000 kilometers
- Compatible with Catalytic Converters
LONG TERM PROTECTION IS THE PRIMARY FUNCTION OF ZX1
Read on for a more detailed analysis of how Extralube ZX1 works, and the benefits it can bring to you.
Overcoming the limits of todays oils
Oils refined from crudes are not particularly good lubricants. Over the years, additives and complete synthetics have been developed to improve lubricity, film strength, stability, anti-corrosion and cleaner operation.
Even so, it has been demonstrated that friction co-efficients can be further enhanced by introducing surface modifiers into oils. These are traditionally polymer or metallic compounds with perceptible thickness.
Extralube ZX1 is a more elegant solution to the problems of friction wear. It is FREE ENTIRELY of congealing agents which can affect flow rates, design tolerances and the working of small active components.
The re-engineered hydrocarbon molecules in Extralube ZX1 actually synergise with ferrous and non ferrous metals on contact, forming a complex long-chain molecular bond which is extremely slippery and tenacious.
Extralube ZX1 acts as an intermediate, microscopic rubbing surface which continues to function after the oil film has broken down. It is measurably effective at extreme pressures and temperatures.
Extralube ZX1 has been formulated to avoid harmful side-effects, not only uncontrolled surface buildup but contains no solids or sediments and is compatible with metals, non-metals and all known lubricants, including synthetics when applied as directed.
The Proof is in the Testing
The simple but effective Portable Lubricity Tester is designed to put lubricants of all kinds through their paces. A high-torque motor turns a shaft. The long lever allows a torque to be applied to the bearing, bringing into contact with the spinning shaft. A gauge indicates the force applied to the lever. The lubricant is added to the small sump of the unit, and allowed to do it's job on the bearing.
The benefits of Extralube ZX1 are easily and effectively demonstrated through the use of the Portable Lubricity Tester.
