Is More Better?

Is more better?
I get that question everyday. The easy answer is yes. But, only in certain circumstances. Lets break down a few examples.
If your vehicle is a car or light truck, driven daily in average conditions you are probably wasting your money to increase the dosage beyond 2 ounces per quart of oil.

If your are an over-the-road trucker driving in hard conditions like mountains, extreme heat and cold or continuous stop and go traffic you could benefit from increasing the standard 2 ounces per quart dosage.

Start with increasing the amount to 3 ounces per quart and move up one to two ounces per test. You can also add an amount every oil change and increase your dosage that way. Upping the dosage does help, but it will differ with every vehicle. The only way to find your best result is to experiment. Don’t go wild, start slowly and keep close track to your mileage.

MotorKote does not build up and as long as you keep the ratio below 50 percent oil to 50% MotorKote your oil will not be compromised. MotorKote has no cleaning detergents found in motor oil so it is not an oil substitute. It will work with all types of oil including synthetics. It does not blend with whatever it is added into. It simply uses the oil as a carrier host until it finds metal to bond to.

However, some racers do use 100% MotorKote. They replenish after every race and run oil in the crankcase between races.


Bottom line, you need to try different dosages and find what works best for your situation. Take your time and good luck.

Until next time keep the shiny side up and the hammer down—Mr. MotorKote
