German motor oil and additive specialist LIQUI MOLY has developed a new additive line especially for pick-up trucks. The special additives ensure the engine remains powerful and a creeping loss of performance is avoided.

Pick-ups are popular vehicles in Ireland, but many suffer from a gradual loss of performance over time. This is due to deposits on the inside of the engine. The combustion worsens because the fuel is no longer being so finely atomized and this results in less performance, higher fuel consumption and even more deposits.

The Truck Series by LIQUI MOLY features five petrol, diesel and oil additives that ensure that strong engines remain strong. One of the first people to be able to try out the new additives was Baja racing driver Armin Schwarz. He says, "I use all five additives both in my private diesel pick-up and in my gasoline pick-up for races. The latter is a Ford Raptor Racing Trophy Truck with 960 hp, which really gets through any terrain. These additives are unbeatable when it comes to keeping the performance of my trucks right at the top and protecting them against all hindrances."

The Truck Series Complete Diesel System Cleaner is an effective cleaning additive, which frees the fuel system and the combustion chambers from deposits. It can be used both at service intervals or a a problem solver. Meanwhile, the Truck Series Diesel Performance and Protectant is designed for permanent use. It not only removes deposits, but also prevents the creation of new deposits and increasing the cetane number.

The counterpart for petrol engines is the Truck Series Complete Fuel Cleaner. With it the engine runs more quietly and consumption is reduced. The older the truck and the higher the mileage, the greater the effect of the additives.

The fourth additive of the new Truck series is the DPF Protector. This reduces the temperature required for automatic regeneration, so that the filter remains unblocked.

The fifth additive of the new Truck series is the Oil Treatment. It contains MoS2 particles as a lubricant, which reliably protect the engine against wear. This is not only important when starting the engine, when the oil has not yet reached every part of the engine and metal grates against metal. Even when the engine is under extreme stress, it ensures that the engine is not damaged.
