Lubricant consumption can be divided into two separate areas: oil changes and lubricant loss. Oil changes due to additive depletion, or the lubricant's loss of ability to provide lubrication, can be significantly reduced because MOLY-NRG Lubricants are blended with the finest base oils available and a proprietary MOLY-NRG Additive Package. MOLY-NRG Treatments, with their highly concentrated formulas actually treat the oil when added to conventional lubricants.

MOLY-NRG Treatments and Lubricants provide maximum oil performance, allowing the lubricant to provide effective lubrication for longer periods of time. This reduces lubricant consumption, downtime and lost productivity, and best of all MOLY-NRG Treatments and Lubricants give you the option of either treating your current lubricants with a MOLY-NRG Treatment, or using a fully formulated MOLY-NRG Lubricant. This gives you the freedom to achieve a level of performance close to that of the finest fully formulated specialty lubricants with your current lubricants supplier!

Oil changes due to lubricant contamination is another source of high lubricant consumption, and even MOLY-NRG Treatments and Lubricants can do little to reduce lubricant consumption that results from contamination by abrasives, fuel, etc. The only solution to this type of contamination and lubricant loss is to find and eliminate or minimize the source of contamination.

There is however, one major area of lubricant contamination that MOLY-NRG Treatments and Lubricants are formulated to solve, and this applies to all types of internal combustion engines. When fuel, especially diesel fuel, is burned in an internal combustion engine one of the byproducts of combustion is acid which contaminates the motor oil. MOLY-NRG Treatments and Lubricants are formulated to give maximum protection from the acid and the resulting drop in motor oil TBN. MOLY-NRG Treatments can raise the TBN of your current motor oil and give it the ability to provide superior lubrication for a longer period of time.

As we mentioned in the beginning paragraph of this section, the second area where MOLY-NRG Treatments and Lubricants can reduce lubricant consumption is lubricant loss. The list of causes o lubricant loss is virtually endless, and many of these are well beyond the ability of any lubricant ot control. There are, however, certain types of lubricant loss that can be controlled by the lubricant, and of course, MOLY-NRG Treatments and Lubricants are formulated to give maximum performance in these areas.

MOLY-NRG Treatments and Lubricants are formulated with the highest quality seal conditioners available. These conditioners actually rejuvenate the seals. They can significantly reduce seal leakage, and in some cases completely eliminate lubricant loss around the seal.

Another area where MOLY-NRG Treatments and Lubricants can provide incredible performance in lubricant loss is in internal combustion engines. Cylinder blow-by occurs where the piston rings seal against the cylinder wall. Cylinder blow-by is a leading cause of oil consumption in internal combustion engines, especially in older engines.

Om the previous page we talked about MOLY-NRG "Plating Action" and how it fills the area between the asperities of the metal with tightly packed sub-micron size MoS2. MOLY-NRG Plating Action has the same effect on the surfaces of the piston rings and the cylinder walls. The result is a greatly improved seal between the piston ring and cylinder wall. In fact, MOLY-NRG Treatments and Lubricants can actually reduce oil consumption by 60% or more!
