Question # 26

Allied Advanced Lubrication.

Is MotorSilk okay for my New/Old Car?

Many customers ask whether MotorSilk is applicable or beneficial for their car based on the age or miles of the vehicle. The Boron CLS Bond technology in MotorSilk will bond a solid lubricant coating onto the engine, transmission or fuel system's metal surfaces regardless of the vehicle's age or miles. Consequently, all vehicle components and systems will benefit from superior lubrication.

Fuel efficiency gains and performance improvements will vary however depending upon the age and condition of the vehicle. All engines treated with MotorSilk will benefit from an 80% reduction in friction and 90% reduction in component wear.

Older engines with wear will also benefit from an improvement in mechanical efficiency. This results from better compression (tighter fit) as the solid lubricant will fill in some of the excessive clearances caused by wear. In these cases, fuel efficiency gains could be as high as 20% or more.

Newer engines treated with MotorSilk can expect between 5 to 10% better fuel mileage and more importantly will maintain a higher mechanical efficiency (better fuel efficiency) over hundreds of thousands of miles of driving due to the superior wear protection MotorSilk provides.

MotorSilk engine treatment is not recommended for new or rebuilt engines until the break-in period has been reached, so that the rings can properly seat. It's actually friction between the rings and the cylinder walls that wear the rings down to a perfect fit with the cylinder.

If there is no manufacturer's recommendation, we suggest putting 1200 miles on the engine before using MotorSilk engine treatment.
