Give Your Truck’s Engine a Long Life by Doing This

We ask a lot from our trucks. Whether we use it for work, play, or just for a daily commute, our trucks can go from being lightly used to thrust into action in an instant when a project arises. This varying amount of need means that a truck’s engine gets the brunt of the workload and quite often, a truck’s quality rests solely on how long the engine lasts. Luckily modern truck engines are strong and durable, but taking care of your truck’s engine can help it last longer and perform better. By using the proper engine treatments, you can give your truck’s engine a long life and better efficiency.

Diesel Fuel

Is there any harder working engine than a diesel? Diesel motors are known for torque and horsepower, and an ability to run hard for many miles. You often hear folks saying that a diesel truck engine is barely even “broken in” until it has 200,000 miles on it. While that is true, it is also true that when a diesel truck engine decides to go down, it is usually expensive and spectacular. That’s why you should look at using a product like LIQUI MOLY’s Truck Series Diesel Performance and Protectant.

The Diesel Performance and Protectant was developed as a specialized combination of high-performance additives that are very effective at cleaning and maintaining diesel engine fuel systems. The fuel you use for your truck can vary, even when it isn’t supposed to. It is the main variable you can’t control with your diesel truck’s performance. That is where LIQUI MOLY comes in.

Diesel Performance and Protectant works to prevent corrosion that can come from impurities in the fuel. It also works to increase lubrication and has a direct impact in the reduction of fuel pump and injector wear. The last thing anyone wants is to have a fuel pump go out or an injector failure, especially when you’re putting your truck to work. Diesel Performance and Protectant increases the Cetane value for better engine performance through increases in power and fuel economy. As an added bonus, you will also have easier starting, and it helps optimize emissions, which can be a major concern in select areas. LIQUI MOLY suggests regular use to keep your diesel truck engine’s fuel system working at its peak performance capability and keeping you on the road.

Diesel Exhaust

Whether you have a turbo diesel and not, one of the threats to your performance for your truck is a clogged Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). A lot of the time, as you turn the key and crank the motor to life, you are going to get a push of soot and other particulates through your exhaust. As this passes through your DPF, you can get build up over time that can lead to, you guessed it, a drop in performance, or worse, a costly breakdown.

LIQUI MOLY’s Truck Series DPF Protector additive was developed to combat this situation by working to reduce the soot build-up that occurs during normal combustion. In other words, it is a special blend of additives that LIQUI MOLY created to cut down soot that can build up whenever you’re running your diesel engine. It helps extend the time between DPF regeneration intervals and aids with the power and performance of your engine. This product is highly effective for those of you that drive your truck in the city, or do a lot of short trips, such as driving from worksite to worksite. This product is safe for all diesel engines and can really save you time and money.

Motor Oil

Whether you drive a diesel truck, or one with a regular combustion engine, you know that oil is the lifeblood of your motor. Without oil, motors don’t run, and oil can break down due to heat, use and strain. When oil breaks down friction wins out and bad things happen. Most modern motor oils are developed to reduce breakdown, but it can happen, especially with motors that are under heavy loads, used in stop-and-go traffic, or are older and prone to wear and tear.

You can give your motor oil a serious boost with LIQUI MOLY’s Truck Series Oil Treatment. It goes right to work reducing and preventing friction and wear problems. It works by adding a highly protective and pressure-resistant layer of MoS2 between moving parts. MoS2 is extremely pressure and heat resistant, adheres very well to surfaces and ensures immediate friction and wear reduction. It adds an extremely protective and pressure-resistant boundary layer with low friction and lubricates during cold starts to prevent damage from lack of oil. It contributes to lower fuel consumption, longer engine life and less noise.

While it works well with the newest engine designs, the Oil Treatment was specifically designed for older engines, including gas and diesel models, and with or without turbochargers. If you use it regularly, the chances your engine remains in perfect working order increase dramatically.
