First of all, I would like to explain how Metal Conditioners work and why they are such a great asset to daily operations of engines, gearboxes and hydraulic systems. Motor oils, transmission fluids, hydraulic Oils and gear oils are flowing lubricants that provide a film barrier between metal surfaces pressing or rubbing together. It is recognized that the greater the film strength, or EP rating, the better the oil and or lubricant. However, in extreme pressure metal-to-metal areas, the film strength of oil is seriously thinned and is often completely squeezed out due to clearances and sub-micron barriers that create heat and friction.

A quality Metal treatment is designed to interact with metal surfaces in a molecular and chemical process to create a protective buffer on the surface of the metal. This is not a film or coating over the metal. Molecules in the metal treatment are polarized and actually bond with the metal surface. The layer of Metal Treatment molecules is activated by extreme pressure and heat, meaning that the metal treatment performs best right where it is needed most! The result significantly reduces harmful friction and heat.
High oil temperatures accelerate oxidation of the engine oil and the formation of acids, peroxide, carbon residue, sludge and varnish formations. As oil temperature rises, oxidation takes place, the oil becomes increasingly corrosive, and oil viscosity decreases resulting in a loss of lubrication. Some metal conditioners help reduce heat so that the oil can maintain maximum protection, performance, and film strength.
It is important to know what your Metal Conditioner contains and what it does not contain such as harmful chemicals, Teflon’s, Metal or Plastic Elements found in most of today’s technologies.
PTFE’s or Teflon - is a great product but not for an extreme pressure application such as an engine. However, metal-to-metal contact can cause flakes that are not a safe option for engines applications. Be careful with products based on this technology. Clogging of essential filters and lubrication flow can become a serious problem. PTFE resins can leave harmful deposits and residue. Solid particles also break down with heat rather than helping reduce temperatures.
Unstable chlorinated-paraffin (“CP”) - presents the potential for corrosion when heated. Chlorinated Paraffin Lubrication - is very effective, but in the heated conditions of an engine, the short-chain molecular properties (C10/C13) can break down, forming hydrochloric acids which in return mix with the engine oil creating pitting, corrosion and oxidized metals.
Solvents - can also be known as lubricants. They generally contain mineral oils, which decrease the viscosity of the flowing lubricant. Solvents may be cleaners, and a cleaner engine offers some improvement in performance, but solvents or cleaners do not provide lubrication protection and or film strength (EP additives) and can change the viscosity of the motor or gear oil. More importantly solvents breakdown lubricity and can cause heat.
Viscosity Stabilizers - sometimes replacing a gallon or more of oil does not contain the essential additive packages in today’s premium motor oils and are actually robbing the engine of those cleaning and anti-oxidant benefits. Although these stabilizers are a great option for reducing oil consumption, they can cause damage if changing the physical properties of the engine oil.
Boron, Zinc, and Graphite technologies - do not provide extreme pressure friction protection. They break down rather than provide protection from harmful heat and can introduce harmful solid particles into the lubrication system of the engine.
The difference between Green Perform™ Engine & Driveline Treatment and other Products:
Many products on the market place are synthetic reagent with reactive ions targeted toward ferrous-based metals. Their action is through carbon diffusion of ionic atoms into ferrous atomic spacing. They work by using short-chains molecule structure (C10-C13) even bonded, to achieve its final results of treating the metal.
During their reactive cycle the load zone of ferrous based metals is affected in direct proportion to the amount of Time (T)x Heat (H)x Pressure (P) derived in any given friction/ferrous environment. Although there are many Metal Treatments on the market today, technology has come a long way in the last 3 years and some new advances have risen to achieve optimal results without reducing reliability. Most products have no additive packs or detergent packs of any sort.
Most Metal Treatments have 5 main properties in their physical makeup; none of these properties are the same physical properties as engine, gear or hydraulic oils. Current lab testing results show that when adding Chlorinated Paraffin or Chlorinated Olephins to a base engine oil, no physical damage will occur, but chemical makeup of the oil will change allowing OEM specs of Phosphorus, Zinc, Magnesium, Calcium and other important detergents to be reduced by volume, which in return will not pass OEM factory specs. Also these types of additives can cause acid formations which in return, cause internal component damage and pitting.
A new formulation has come into play called Green Perform™ Engine & Driveline Treatment (Metal Treatment) which is designed using medium to long chain molecule structures (C14-C17) double bonded, to achieve better results than its predecessors on the market place. Green Perform™ Engine & Driveline Treatment has added stabilizing anti-oxidant formulation and very unique metal deactivators to assure that Green Perform™ Engine & Driveline Treatment performs well in engine applications and gear oil applications - not changing the chemical make-up of the oil that the Green Perform™ Engine & Driveline Treatment is being added to. The oil acts like a delivery truck carrying the Green Perform™ Engine & Driveline Treatment to the asperities of the metals and forming a covalent, galvanic bond to the metal allowing a 5 to 8 micron penetration into the metal, creating a smooth-less friction absorbing metal.
Green Perform™ Engine & Driveline Treatment does not layer the metal or put a film over the top of the metal, Green Perform™ Engine & Driveline Treatment penetrates into the metal working with ferrous particulates within the oils environment, treating the metal, not the oil.
Green Perform™ Engine & Driveline Treatment has been ASTM tested and also independently tested to assure our product works. With over 20 ASTM and SAE tests being performed on Green PerformTM Engine (& Drive Train Treatment), end users in the Automotive, Trucking, Mining, Marine and Rail industry can be assured that Green Perform™ Engine & Driveline Treatment is working hard to reduce down time maintenance.
Utilized in today’s extreme work environment, Green Perform™ Engine & Driveline Treatment has been used in Diesel Engine applications, Gasoline Engine applications as well as gear box and manual transmissions. Reducing frictions means reducing heat, so that you will see more productive equipment with less chance for a mechanical failure.
