Add-It

Extreme Pressure and Anti-wear Supplement: Boundary Lubrication

In today’s hi-tech world of advanced mechanical designs, high revving engines, and industrial equipment costing millions of dollars, we are still lubricating methods invented a century ago! Why do you treat a million dollar investment with a $1.00 can of oil?!!!

Add-It creates a chemical condition known as Boundary Lubrication. Actually a molecular change to the wearing surfaces being treated, Add-It will greatly reduce the friction, wear, and damage on any metal surface requiring lubrication.

Add-It’s unique chemical reaction effectively reduces this friction and wear. It bonds to the metal surfaces being treated and does not remain in the primary lubrication as other so called additives do.

Add-It is safe to use on any metal to metal friction generating application. The savings when using Add-It greatly overshadow the cost of the product..

Add-It is compatible with all types and forms of lubricating oils, gear oils, motor oils, compressor oils, hydraulic fluids, etc.

Add-It treats the metal surfaces and as such requires only a small amount of product. See the applications section of this manual for suggested rates and uses.

Theory of Operation

Add-It is unique approach to the field of advanced Extreme Pressure lubrication.

NOT a lubricant...Add-It is a metal treatment and conditioner offering unsurpassed anti-wear characteristics.

Under normal lubricating conditions, the two metal surfaces to be lubricated will be covered by a thin film of lubricant which will act to provide the desired reduction of friction of the two surfaces. In this lubricating film are found a wide assortment of contaminants, all of which can act in an abrasive manner on the metal surface the lubricant was designed to protect!

Under extreme pressure lubricating conditions, and as normal lubricating oils can only withstand a limited amount of pressure and heat before losing their lubricating properties, all of the liquid lubricant is forced out of the area of contact between the two metal surfaces, leaving an undesired metal to metal contact and understandable resulting damage cause caused by friction, heat, wear, and the microscopic contaminants.

With the addition of Add-It, the heat caused by the normal friction of metal to metal contact will cause a thermal reaction whereby molecules of Add-It are released and combine with cause a thermal reaction whereby molecules of Add-It are released and combine with the surface of the metal. This reaction creates a NEW metal surface that now has a much lower coefficient of friction than the original metal surface.

This new surface tends to fill in the microscopic depressions and irregularities found on all metal surfaces at the points of contact and leaving no voids to collect abrasive contaminants while greatly reducing friction and wear.

General Applications and Use

As Add-It is a highly concentrated product, only a small amount is required for most applications.

The following is suggested guideline for typical industrial applications
Light Loads:	Add 1 ounce per 1 quart of the primary lubricant
Medium Loads:	Add 1.5 ounces per 1 quart of primary lubricant
Heavy Loads:	Add 2 ounces per 1 quart of primary lubricant
Hydraulic Systems:	Add 8 ounces per 5 gallons of hydraulic fluid
Industrial Engines:	Add 2 ounces per liter of engine displacement
Differentials:	Add 1 ounce to each pound of lube/grease
Automatic Transmissions:	Add 6 ounces every 12 months or 30,000 miles
Compressors:	Add 1 ounce per 1 quart of oil at each oil change
Ball & Bearing Assemblies	Add 8 ounces per each pound of grease
General Lubrications	Add 1 ounce to each 16 ounces of lubricant

When do I add more?

To achieve the optimum results of a Add-It treatment, you must be sure that the product is completely circulated in the system and allowed enough time, heat, and pressure to assure the reactive bond.

Since Add-It is a metal treatment, the new metal surface created by Add-It must physically wear off before a re-treatment with Add-It is required.

This period may vary greatly and depends on the amount of metal to metal contact, and pressure, etc.

A careful monitoring of performance of the treated equipment will clearly tell when a new treatment is required.

NOTE: Use of a measurement of metal wear particles in the primary lubricant will tell when a re-treatment is required. When the count returns to the same area it was at prior to the original treatment, it is time to re-treat.

Motor Oil Additive Analysis

Of Add-It Engine Treatment

Project Scope:

GWT & Associates, Inc. has requested Ecochek conduct an independent, scientific, research analysis on motor oil additives. This scientific analysis will be conducted under guidelines furnished by the manufacturer and The U. S. Government, (GSA, General Services Administration). Data collected from this project will be used to determine any increased performance values or benefits achieved from using motor oil additives. Any analysis, or date derived from this research shall be considered proprietary, and the sole property of the manufacture.

Method of Analysis:

A total of three (3) automobiles were used in this experiment. Each automobile used in this study had more that 25,000 miles in odometer readings. Test vehicles used are described as follows:

Vehicle 1

1. (1) Four cylinder engine. A 1981 Jeep CJ 7, with a 151 cubic inch displacement engine, manual shift transmission. Tires were Pathfinder Radial APR, with a treadwear rating of 360, temperature B traction A. Standard tire pressure of 35 psi was maintained throughout the study. This vehicle was driven over a course of local mileage. Course duplication of base line data and after additive was almost exact. Beginning odometer reading 90110.0 miles.

Vehicle 2

2. (1) Eight cylinder engine. A 1993 Lincoln Town Car, with a 4.6 liter engine, auto transmission. Tires were Michelin XW4, with a treadwear rating of 520, temp. B and traction A. Standard tire pressure of 35 psi was maintained through the study. This vehicle was driven over a local course. Beginning odometer reading of 98,300.0 miles.

Vehicle 3

3. (1) Eight cylinder engine. Also a 1993 Lincoln Town Car, with a 4.6 liter engine, auto transmission. Tires were Michelin XW4, with a tread wear rating of 520, temperature B and traction A. Standard tire pressure of 35 psi was maintained throughout the study. This vehicle was driven over long range highway miles. Beginning odometer reading of 174,953.0 miles.

Data for base line analysis was obtained from 400 miles actual usage over actual road conditions.

After base line data had been obtained and properly documented, the automobiles were serviced at Jiffy Lube. This service included an oil and oil filter change. Two ounces of Add-It Engine Treatment was added to the oil at oil change. This procedure was supervised and documented by the individual driver and Jiffy Lube personnel.

Data was again collected, and documented for a period of 400 miles over actual road conditions and of a similar course. Only Vehicle One (1) posted an immediate mileage/improvement.

Based on previous experience and experimentation, performance value should increase aft 400 miles of usage of the Add-It Engine Treatment . Both Vehicle Two (2) and Three (3) exhibited this same trend, with best performance increases obtained after 1200 to 1300 miles use after Add-It Engine Treatment was added.

Very limited knowledge about this chemical nomenclature, or the physical attributes of the product was known. Information was maintained as proprietary, and supplied on a “Need to Know” basics. Also this product was not analyzed, or reversed engineered.

Motor Oil Additive Analysis

Summary

Several observations were made during the course of this study. First and foremost, the study reveals documented evidence of increased gas mileage in all three Test Vehicles. Other noteworthy observations must include Vehicle 1, a four cylinder engine showed immediate improvement in gas mileage with addition of Add-It Engine Treatment at oil change. Both Test Vehicles 2 and 3, (eight cylinders) responded much slower. No increase in gas mileage was noted before 1200 -1300 miles after addition of Add-It Engine Treatment which was added to the oil at the oil change. No maintenance was performed on any of the Test Vehicles.

Addendum

Motor Oil Additive Analysis

This addendum covers continued independent analysis of Add-It Engine Treatment for GWT and Associates, Inc. Previous collection of Data and analysis from the original study consisted of performance values taken after 400 road miles of testing. Data collected from the original study showed an immediate gas mileage increase of 13.25 % on Test Vehicle # 1. Subsequently, this addendum evaluates extended road mileage testing to further analyze extended performance of the Test Vehicle treated with Add-It Engine Treatment.

Test Vehicle #1 continued to reach 29.61% increase in gas mileage. This increase was incremental on a tank fill by tank fill basis, with the last two tank fills producing almost the same 29.6% increase. This increase occurred after an additional 651 road miles of testing. Total test mileage on Test Vehicle # 1 was 1147 miles.
