How to Extend the Life of Your Engine with High-Performance Lubricant?

Introduction

Your engine is the heart of your vehicle. To ensure its proper functioning in the long run, regular maintenance is essential. One of the most important steps is using a high-performance lubricant, which plays a key role in reducing wear, optimising combustion, and minimising internal friction.

But why is a high-performance lubricant indispensable? What are its tangible benefits? Discover how it protects and extends the life of your engine while improving its performance.

1. Why is engine oil so important?

Engine oil is more than just a fluid: it is a vital element for your vehicle’s mechanics. Its main function is to lubricate the various internal parts of the engine to limit wear caused by friction.

📌 Without effective lubrication, your engine is at risk of:
❌ Premature wear of parts.
❌ Overheating due to excessive friction.
❌ Loss of performance and increased fuel consumption.

👉 This is where a high-performance lubricant makes all the difference!

2. Benefits of a high-performance lubricant

Unlike standard oils, a high-performance lubricant offers superior benefits in terms of protection and efficiency.

🔹 1. Reduction of wear and friction

A standard lubricant forms a protective film, but it can degrade quickly under heat and internal pressure. In contrast, a high-performance lubricant such as our SC-100 Hyper Lubricant or our Ceramic Motor & Gearbox Lubricant acts durably to:
✅ Protect parts by limiting direct metal-to-metal contact.
✅ Reduce friction, which decreases wear and extends engine life.

🔹 2. Protection against extreme temperatures

Your engine operates at temperatures of up to 200°C. A standard lubricant loses its effectiveness under these conditions, while a high-performance lubricant:
✅ Stays stable even under intense heat.
✅ Doesn’t thin out excessively, ensuring continuous protection.
✅ Protects engine parts against expansion and thermal wear.

🔹 3. Improved engine efficiency and fuel economy

A well-lubricated engine runs more easily, reducing:
✔ The effort needed to function.
✔ Fuel consumption.
✔ Pollutant emissions.

💡 Less friction = Less energy wasted = More miles per tank!

🔹 4. Protection against the buildup of deposits

Over time, residues and deposits can accumulate in the engine, clogging injectors and reducing performance. Some high-performance lubricants contain cleaning agents that:
✅ Gradually eliminate deposits.
✅ Maintain cleaner combustion.
✅ Preserve engine performance for longer.

3. How to choose the right high-performance lubricant?

There are different types of lubricants, each suited to specific needs. Here’s how to make the right choice:

📌 Recommendations by need:

• For maximum protection → Ceramic Motor & Gearbox Lubricant
• For instant effect → SC-100 Hyper Lubricant
• For fuel optimisation → Eco Essence & Eco Diesel

4. Practical tips to optimise your engine’s lifespan

Using a high-performance lubricant should be supported by best practices for optimal maintenance.

✔ Regularly check your oil level

💡 An under-lubricated engine will wear out faster. Check your oil level every 5,000 to 10,000 km and before long trips.

✔ Change oil on time

A lubricant loses its effectiveness over time. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for oil change frequency, typically every 10,000 to 20,000 km.

✔ Choose a lubricant that fits your engine type

Diesel, petrol, hybrid… Each engine has its own needs. Make sure you use a lubricant compatible with your vehicle.

✔ Complement with engine treatments

Treatments like SC-100 or an oil cleaner before changing help preserve performance and reduce deposits in the engine.

5. A better protected, more efficient, and longer-lasting engine

A high-performance lubricant is more than just oil: it’s a true shield that optimises your engine’s life and preserves its performance over the miles.
