Longer oil change intervals with LIQUI

MOLY

German Company introduces new TBN Booster at


Automechanika Middle East

Ulm, April 2012 At the Automechanika Middle East Exhibition the


German motor oil and additive expert LIQUI MOLY is introducing
two new products: One is the Pro-Line TBN Booster, which makes it
possible to extend oil change intervals with fuels containing large
amounts of sulfur. The other is Scratch Stop, for polishing scratches
and sanding marks out of paint and even headlight lenses. These
are two new products with great practical benefits for car drivers in
the region, says Salvatore Coniglio, LIQUI MOLY's Export Area
Manager.

Sulfur in fuel also leaves traces in the motor oil. The higher the content,
the shorter the oil change intervals. LIQUI MOLY's Pro-Line TBN
Booster helps even when the sulfur content is greater than 50 ppm. It
neutralizes the sulfur and other acidic combustion residues in the oil,
thus allowing oil change intervals to be extended by up to 25%. This
reduces costs for new engine oil and minimizes service time when the
vehicle is not available for use.

As soon as the engine is started, particularly after a cold start, small


quantities of fuel - and with it sulfur - are always absorbed by the oil.
Sulfur itself is corrosive and, dissolved in the oil, can damage the
internal parts of the engine, explains Salvatore Coniglio. But much
worse is when water is present in the oil. This is either already present in
the fuel or is a result of condensation. Even small amounts of water are
enough to combine with sulfur to form sulphuric acid. Good engine oil
like LIQUI MOLY can suppress this for a time, but at some point its
ability to do so is exhausted. It is then high time for the next oil change.

Varying fuel quality is a decisive factor for specifying different oil


change intervals for the same model of car at different points around
world, says Salvatore Coniglio. After hearing an increasing number of
complaints regarding frequent oil change intervals, we decided to get to
the root of the problem, he adds. The result was an additive for engine
oil that significantly increases protection against acids and is simple to
use.

It can be added to the engine oil at any time. After adding, the engine
should be allowed to run so that the additive can mix with the engine oil.
It makes sense to add TBN Booster when changing oil. It increases the
TBN (total base number) which is a gage for acid protection. The
proportion is approximately two to four percent depending on the engine
and fuel quality. Admixture of two percent increases the TBN rating by
approx. 4mg KOH/g.

TBN Booster was originally developed for use in countries where


optimum fuel qualities are not available. This additive is produced in
Germany, LIQUI MOLY's native country, however, it is not sold there.
"We want every driver in the world, not just those in Germany, to be
able to benefit from our expertise."

This also applies for Scratch Stop. This is a silicon-free polishing paste
for universal use. It removes scratches, overspray, sanding marks and
orange peel on colored and metallic paint finishes. Moreover it can also
be used to polish matte or dull translucent plastic covers or
polycarbonate headlight lenses. Scratch Stop can be used with a machine
as well as manually. High temperatures and sand damage the finish,
according to Salvatore Coniglio. With Scratch Stop, your car again
looks like it is supposed to.
The Automechanika Middle East opens its doors from May 22 to 24,
2012. LIQUI MOLY can be found in the German Pavillion, stand
number 1AM606.
