What is the main benefit of XADO Revitalizant?
XADO Revitalizant restores your machine’s performance by coating the engine parts with new durable layer of ceramic-metal to protect against future wear and serious engine problems.
-
What are the differences between XADO Revitalizant and other additives products?
The main difference is additive changes the viscosity and operational properties of engine oil, whereas XADO improves your machine performance by restoring and protecting engine parts. The revitalizant-gel easily dissolves in oil leaving its viscosity and other physicochemical properties unchanged. It easily goes through the filter elements directly to the working friction surfaces.
-
What kind of oil is the best for XADO treatment: old or new, synthetic or mineral?
It makes no difference because XADO Revitalizant is compatible with any type of oil. It does not chemically react with them and does not change their viscosity, physicochemical or operational properties. The oil only carries the revitalizant to the friction surfaces.
-
Is XADO Revitalizant suitable for any kind of machines?
Yes, XADO Revitalizant can be used for all types of machines: cars, motorcycle, heavy-duty vehicles and industrial machinery which includes compressor, machine tools, hydraulic and gearbox.
-
How long does XADO Revitalizant’s effect last?
Tests show that the protective coating remains even after 100,000 km (62,000 miles) of run. It stays even after repeated oil changes. After 100,000 km (62,000 miles) it is advisable to repeat the revitalization cycle.
-
Can the metal-ceramic layer peel off in operation?
It is not possible for the metal-ceramic layer to peel off in operation because a reciprocal diffusion of metal and metal carbides layer to the depth of 10-30 micrometer has taken place during revitalization. There is no distinct border between the initial surfaces and metal-ceramic, so there are no conditions for the metal-ceramic layer to “peel-off”.
-
Is there a risk of metal-ceramic layer growing in excess? Can it cause the engine to seize up?
No, the engine will not seize up. Revitalization is a self-regulating process, where the friction of surfaces is the necessary condition for it. When the coating is formed, the friction is reduced drastically and the growth of the surface stops.
-
Will revitalization help any engine?
Yes, all kinds of engines can be improved with revitalization, as long as the engine is operative. Whether the engine is gasoline, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), diesel, biofuel, along with high-powered ones, with direct injection, multivalve, or equipped with turbo-charger, revitalization will help.
In order for the protective metal-ceramic coating to be formed, the engine must be in an operable state.
The check parameters, which can measure the engine’s operating capacity, are compression and fuel consumption. The decrease of compression for 20–25% – from the nominal parameters, its dispersion on cylinders by more than 1.5 units (atm) and/or the oil consumption more than 0.4–0.6% from the fuel consumption can indicate the critical condition of an engine.
Examples of the critical condition of an engine:
1. The rated value of the compression in the engine is 14 units (atm). The value of the compression in one of cylinders is 10.5 and less units (atm) or the compression is 11 and 13 units (atm).
2. The fuel consumption in the engine is 10 l for 100 km, with oil consumption of 800 ml for 1000 km and more.
Critical condition of an engine is indicated by 100% wear of its parts (parts are damaged). The revitalizant shows its restoring effect even when the engine is in critical condition. However, in this case, the full restoration of the engine’s operational parameters to original values may not occur.
-
Can XADO Revitalizant save on your fuel consumption?
For cars with high mileage, the fuel economy is first reached by the engine’s wear compensation and reconditioning of its operating parameters to their default values. On a new engine, the optimization of the interfacings and reduction of friction losses will help you cut down the expenses down the road.
-
Will XADO Revitalizant help in case of increased oil consumption?
There are still more reasons for increased oil consumption, such as wear of parts in the cylinder or -piston group, bedding, gumming-up or breakage of the piston rings, valve stem seal failure, or oil-leaking through seals. If the reason is wear, the revitalizant will help.
-
How will I feel the effect of XADO Revitalizant on my car?
The driver will feel an increase in engine power, acceleration, flexibility and change in the sound of the engine operating in different modes. Drivers will notice improvements after a 50–100 km run from the product’s application. These improvements are the result of the revitalizant’s restoring effect, as it increases and equalizes compression in cylinders.
-
Which product should I choose for the treatment: XADO 1 Stage Gel-Revitalizant or XADO Atomic Metal Conditioner Maximum?
Basically, XADO 1 Stage Gel-Revitalizant and XADO Atomic Metal Conditioner (AMC) Maximum contain the same level of revitalizant. The AMC Maximum, in addition to its revitalization properties, set itself apart with an extra-strength greasing film and the ability to drastically improve the lubricating properties of the oil.
-
My odometer indicates my car mileage has reached 150,000 km. Can I still use XADO Revitalizant?
Yes, but when your car mileage has reached above 150,000 km, your car engine is categorized as old and worn-out engine. So before XADO AMC Maximum can be applied, the engine needs to be cleaned thoroughly with XADO VitaFlush to guarantee the effectiveness of the revitalizant.
-
When is the best time to start the application of XADO Revitalizant?
XADO Revitalizant is effective at any stage of car operation and is always useful. The most important thing is that the unit must be in an operative state.
-
Is the revitalizant toxic?
No, it is not. All products have sanitary allowance for application in the food industry and are hygienically certified.
