Rislone Rolls Out New Engine Oil for Older Vehicles

Nowadays, a car of average age requires more metal protection for its engine than it can get from conventional motor oil. This is because the average age of U.S. vehicles is presently 11.5 years old, in accordance with research company IHS Automotive, and all vehicles of that age and older require more phosphorous and zinc than current engine oils contain. Fortunately, Rislone 3X Concentrated Engine Oil Supplement with Zinc Treatment (p/n 4405) offers counter personnel and technicians the ability to help customers with older vehicles.

The increasingly stringent Environmental Protection Agency emissions regulations have paved the way for new engine designs that enabled motor oil producers to substantially reduce the phosphorous and zinc content of motor oil over the past decades. Hence, the oil sold today works fine for new vehicles, but does not meet the needs of over a third of the cars and light trucks on the road today.

Rislone claims that its 3X Concentrated Engine Oil Supplement with Zinc Treatment is a cost-effective way to enable modern motor oils better protect the metal surfaces of older diesel and gasoline engines, protecting internal components such as lifters, flat tappet camshafts, pistons and the valvetrain. It is perfectly suitable for all petroleum-based motor oils, including traditional, synthetic and high-mileage formulas.

For older vehicles, Rislone’s engine oil supplement offers two ways to safeguard and lubricate moving parts better than oil alone. The first is high levels of ZDDP (zinc dialkyldithiophosphate) zinc and phosphorus additives. When put under pressure, the additives attach to metal surfaces and become a sacrificial wear material, thwarting the metal itself from being worn away. The second level of protection is copolymer esters. Their attraction for metal surfaces enable modern oils to hold onto metal surfaces instead of running off as typically happens over time.

Clay Parks, vice president of development for Rislone, explains that their product is a great performance booster developed to keep older cars, about a third of the cars on the road today, running properly for years longer. He claims that the 3X Concentrated Engine Oil Supplement with Zinc Treatment not only contains the right amount of ZDDP and the finest form of zinc and phosphorus protection available in the automotive world, but also the detergents and other lubricity additives essential for keeping engines clean and lubricated for thousands of miles.

Furthermore, Rislone’s engine oil supplement is claimed to reduce wear and friction, especially at start-up, leading to a cooler-running and longer-lasting engine. With this high-performance formula, the motor oil is stabilized to prevent viscosity and thermal breakdown. Special additives prevent corrosion and oil thinning at high temperatures where normal oil fails.

Rislone 3X Concentrated Engine Oil Supplement with Zinc Treatment is designed for light-, medium- and heavy-duty diesel engines (2006 and older); car and light truck gasoline engines (2004 or older); motorcycle engines (dry clutch only); 4-stroke marine engines; as well as racing, industrial and agricultural applications. For superior protection, it is advisable for use with every oil change.
