Remetallizers, what are they?

Remetallizers are special chemical compounds that are added to motor oil to improve its properties or compensate for engine performance deficiencies. They can help restore worn parts, improve compression, and reduce engine noise.

There are many types of additives on the market, and their popularity is growing, especially among car owners who want to extend the life of their engine without expensive repairs. But not all additives guarantee results with their composition, and for such a seemingly huge selection of effective preparations, there are essentially only a few.

The use of remetallizers may be relevant in the following cases:

Engine wear. If you notice a drop in compression, increased oil consumption, or loss of power.

Increased fuel consumption. This may be a sign that engine parts are not working as efficiently as they should.

Smoke from the exhaust pipe. If blue or black smoke appears, this may indicate problems with the piston rings or other components.

Engine noise. Additives can partially compensate for wear and reduce noise levels.

How do remetallizers work?

The result of the remetallizer's work is a significant smoothing of the surface micro-roughness, the elimination of micro-cracks and scuffs and, as a result, the restoration of nominal compression, and therefore all the main parameters of the car, such as power, oil consumption* and fuel.

Let's look at this using the example of the remetallizer Lubrifilm Metalyz.

Lubrifilm Metal particles do not dissolve in oil, but use it as a means of delivering powder to wear areas, where microparticles are rubbed into micro-roughness. Under the influence of pressure and temperature, they are crushed and, during further operation, gradually rub in, forming a smooth surface and nominal dimensions of the parts.

The recovery process looks like this:

the first 500 km of run - visually noticeable - the beginning of the action of the preparation. Powder particles are distributed in the engine in places where there is friction and under the influence of electrostatic voltage begin to fill in the burrs and scratches on the parts of the cylinder-piston group. Due to the softness of the working metal (silver-copper alloy with lead) and the size of the particles, Lubrifilm Metal fills the smallest irregularities on any original metal of the engine.

By 5,000 km of mileage, the increase in compression reaches its maximum, approaching the values ​​set for this type of engine by the manufacturer and, no less importantly, equalizes the compression across all cylinders.

Lubrifilm Metal creates a layer on the cylinder surface and crankshaft liners, restoring the nominal clearances. The remains of the product are free in the oil and serve to constantly renew the created layer during its inevitable wear during operation of 5,000-10,000 km. The further behavior of the product directly depends on the correctness of the selected dose. If the dose is chosen incorrectly (there is not enough powder), then by the time the oil is changed, the effect may be significantly reduced or, in the worst case, will quickly disappear. With the correct dosage, the drop in effect from 5,000 to 10,000 km is insignificant and does not exceed 10-12%.

More than 10,000 km: to maintain the effect for a long time, it is necessary to add additional preparation at each subsequent oil change, based on the engine volume, but without taking into account the specific mileage of the car, i.e. for low mileage, Lubrifilm Metal also works as an anti-wear agent, preventing metal wear.

As a result :

  • Extending engine life;
  • Reduction of noise and vibration levels;
  • Improved compression and power;
  • Reduced oil and fuel consumption.
