Can TRIBOTECH IJP be used in diesel engines?
Yes! TRIBOTECH IJP’s combination approach to lubrication provides outstanding results in diesel. Since TRIBOTECH IJP dramatically reduces friction, heat and wear as well as improves the “sealing” ability of motor oil, compression and RPM’s are increased which makes combustion more efficient. This improves power, performance and fuel economy. In addition, exhaust emissions and smoke are significantly reduced. Since diesel creates combustion by compression, even a small amount of wear is significant. The natural by-product of diesel fuel combustion is particulate matter, commonly known as soot. The primary anti-wear/lubricity agent used in motor oils is ZDDP (zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate). Unfortunately, soot absorbs the ZDDP before the oil can deposit it on metal surfaces. The soot also acts as an abrasive which causes additional wear. Excessive wear reduces compression and increases “blow by” which contaminates the oil and greatly reduces its ability to protect vital engine parts. Fort
