Are Low Viscosity Oils Harmful To My Engine?

on Oct 27, 2024
Yes they are—zero-weight oils are becoming popular for fuel efficiency but often compromise on long-term engine protection. BestLine Racing Engine Oil Additives Can Help. Here's why: Viscosity and Friction: Zero-weight oils (like 0W-20 or 0W-16) are thinner and flow more easily, especially in cold starts, reducing friction and improving fuel efficiency. Thinner oils create less resistance as they circulate, which in turn decreases the load on the engine and helps with fuel economy. Lubrication and Protection: However, these oils may lack the "film strength" or thickness to maintain strong protective barriers, especially under high-load or high-temperature conditions. This can increase metal-on-metal contact between engine parts, potentially accelerating wear. Engine oils usually rely on a balance between viscosity and additive chemistry to maintain lubrication. With thinner oils, there’s inherently less "cushion" between moving parts, meaning less protection for critical components. Additive Strain: Zero-weight oils need more advanced additives to compensate for their thinness, which can help but also lead to faster degradation of these additives under heavy-duty use, like towing or high-speed driving. This degradation reduces their effectiveness over time, further compromising engine protection. For truckers or anyone running vehicles with high mileage or heavy loads, thicker oils (such as 5W-30 or 10W-40) or treatments that increase film strength can often offer better long-term engine health, even if they slightly impact fuel economy. Several technical studies explore the trade-offs in using ultra-low viscosity or zero-weight engine oils, highlighting the tension between fuel efficiency gains and potential wear on engine components. For instance, recent SAE papers discuss how these thinner oils reduce friction losses and improve fuel economy by allowing for easier oil flow and less churning resistance within the engine. However, they also emphasize that ultra-low viscosity oils may compromise protective lubrication, particularly under high load or high-temperature conditions. This can lead to increased wear, especially on components like the valve-train in flat-tappet cam engines or other high-stress areas. A 2023 SAE paper indicates that even with improved formulations, managing wear and oxidative stability remains a challenge with low-viscosity oils, as these properties can degrade with thinner lubricants more rapidly than with traditional oils. Another study from 2019 explains that results from standardized fuel economy tests may not consistently apply to all engines, meaning the wear and performance impact varies significantly across different engine designs and usage patterns. For additional scientific insights, you may find papers like "Improving Fuel Economy without Compromising Wear" and "Engine Oil Fuel Economy: Benefits and Potential Debits of Low Viscosity Engine Oil" particularly informative, both of which examine advanced formulations aimed at balancing fuel economy and engine protection​ SAE International

Does BestLine Racing Engine Oil Treatment Really Work? August 6, 2023

on Sep 02, 2023
Hey Perry, I’ve got an amazing, true story to tell you about what happened to me and my car last week. I live in the western part of Massachusetts in a small rural town not far from Northampton, and last week I had to drive to Boston, which is about 100 miles away. It was a very hot afternoon, and once I hit the greater Boston area, the traffic was heavy, with lots of stop and go movement – or lack thereof. My car – a 2005 Jaguar X-Type SportWagon with about 160k on the clock – was running beautifully, both on the highway and while in traffic in town. However, as I got close to where I was going and was pulling into the parking garage, I noticed a film of oil starting to build on my passenger-side windshield, followed by smoke coming from under the right side of the hood, along with a strong smell of engine oil. Alarmed, I parked, shut down the motor, and popped the hood. Yikes!... the engine oil cap was not in its proper place, and the right side of the engine (where the filler neck is) and compartment were covered in engine oil. When I pulled the dipstick, it was completely dry – not a drop of oil on it, even at its extreme bottom end! I should mention here that I have been a devoted user of your BestLine Racing Engine Treatment (and gas treatment) for a long time, and always try to add a bottle at each oil change. But sometimes it turns out that I’m out of it when the oil change happens, so I run the car without it until I get a new shipment. In all the time I have had the Jag – several years now – I have always noticed how much better the engine seems – smoother, quieter, and more powerful – with the treatment in there than it is without it. In this instance, I have to say that I truly believe that Bestline Engine Treatment saved the engine. I caught an Uber to the nearest auto parts store, bought 6 quarts of Mobile 1/European Car Formula, got back to the car and topped it up… started the engine holding my breath… and drove home. It ran as though nothing had happened at all.  During the entire time the oil was blowing out that filler neck, the oil warning light had never come on. The engine warning light had never come on. The engine had never over-heated. And on the return drive, the engine never knocked, and drove with all its usual performance – and is still running that way now. What can I say? This was a completely unintended, real-world test of your Bestline Engine Treatment formula, and I have to say it passed the test with all flags flying. Since this incident, I have realized that I must have removed the oil cap to top-up the oil, and somehow forgot to put it back where it belonged. (Miraculously, the cap was still sitting on top of the engine where I had left it, so that was a big help.) And that oil top-up occurred a few days BEFORE my trip to Boston – so who knows how long and far I had been driving before I even left for Boston? Truly amazing… In conclusion, my Jag and I would really like to thank you for this amazing product. I’m reasonably certain that the two of us wouldn’t have made it home if the treatment hadn’t already been in there, and you can be darn sure that I won’t be starting any of my engines without it in the future. Gratefully yours, Rawn Fulton Bernardston, MA

Does BestLine Racing Really Care About The Customer?

on Jul 09, 2023
Dear customer; I want to share a message that I believe is important for all of us to hear. I know this is a very unusual message that you'd expect to get from a business owner. I've always been a type "A" personality, and I've always prided myself on getting things done. I was afraid that I wouldn't accomplish my goals, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be good enough. I'm now trying to slow down and enjoy the journey more. I'm spending more time with my family and friends, and I'm taking more time for myself to relax and reflect. I know that this isn't always easy. It's hard to break the habit of hurrying, especially when we're surrounded by a culture that values productivity and efficiency above all else. But I believe that it's worth it. I have close friends that had or have serious health issues and some have passed on. I regret not taking the time for them. When we slow down, we can appreciate the little things in life. We can savor the moments with our loved ones. We can experience the beauty of nature. And we can connect with our inner selves. I want to thank you for being my customers. You've helped me to build a successful business, and I'm grateful for your support. But more importantly, you've helped me to become a better person. I know that I don't always have the time to give you the attention that you deserve. But I want you to know that I appreciate you, even when it doesn't seem like it. Thank you for being a part of my journey. May God Bless you and yours, Perry Anderson, CEO

How Much MPG Can I Save On Average with A Fuel Saver?

on Feb 10, 2023
With today’s unpredictable economy and astronomical inflation rates, everyone is looking for ways to cut costs and save money. Here is some good news — you can keep more money in your wallet, and more gas in your tank, with a fuel saver. An improved fuel economy will save you money. Every time.   Before we go into how much money you can save, let’s discuss fuel savers in depth.  How Do Fuel Savers Work? Fuel savers are an advanced combustion game-changer for both gasoline and diesel fuels. It’s synthetic and non-metallic, and adding a Fuel Saver to gasoline causes a chemical reaction that   makes the fuel burn more completely.  The science behind the way this works is that when added, the fuel saver causes the molecules within the gasoline to ionize and separate. When the fuel molecules are spread out and not clustered together, this reduces surface tension. With reduced surface tension, the oxygen has better positioning and movement between the molecules, exposing fuel molecules with consistency to oxygen during the combustion process.  Oxygen is the key to burn, therefore, an oxygenate, like a fuel saver, enables the chemical reaction for a more complete fuel burn to facilitate a better fuel economy, more power, and a cleaner burn for improved emissions. Fuel Saver Benefits What are the benefits of using a top-of-the-line fuel saver from BestLine? We’ve already discussed how a fuel saver can reduce emissions and improve your fuel economy, but here is a detailed breakdown. A fuel saver can: Decrease fuel consumption between 9% - 15% Reduce carbon build up Keep the combustion chamber cleaner Reduce emissions by up to 60% during engine idling  Support engines subjected to “stop and go” movement  Work in any type of gasoline or diesel engine Fuel savers are especially beneficial to trucks. As truck engines require more power for heavier loads or working conditions, it’s important that their engines run efficiently. Let's look at what fuel savers can do for these machines.  Fuel Savers And Trucks Routine service with a fuel saver treatment can extend the life of your truck and maximize its performance by extending oil life, increasing mileage, and reducing heat and noise.  Fuel savers work in all diesel fuels, including ULSD and biodiesel blends. They are currently used in heavy duty diesel engine fleets as fuel savers are especially helpful with fleets subjected to a lot of “stop and go” motion, like municipal engine fleets such as sanitation vehicles and school buses. Fuel savers also help stationary diesel engines like power generators, compressors, and other heavy machinery.  To add another layer of protection to your truck, use BestLine’s Diamond nanolube to safeguard the engine system from corrosion, oxidation, and thermal breakdown. Fuel engine additives are also good for trucks and vehicles that experience city driving or stop and go conditions,To learn about the benefits fuel engine additives can have on your vehicle, read our previous blog.  How Much Money Can I Save? There is a possibility to save a lot of money here as the savings really add up. Potentially, you can save thousands of dollars. The easiest way to get the best estimate for how much money you can save with a fuel saver is to do a little math.  But don’t strain your brain — using an online calculator is the easiest way to calculate and estimate your savings.   Save Fuel And Money With BestLine Our products are second to none, and our customers agree.

Do All Engine Oils Have Additives?

on Feb 09, 2023
We still get a few comments that engine oils don't need additives. I wanted to try and explain in greater detail what's in engine oil. The truth is all engine oils use a complex mixture of additives depending on what they are trying to accomplish and at what price target.  All engine oils start with a base oil. Typically, the ratio is somewhere around 90% base oil with at least 10% - 30% of the volume with additives. The less expensive the oil usually means they use fewer additives or lower quality additives.  These include the following general types of additives: Anti-oxidants. Oxidation is the general attack of the weakest components of the base oil by oxygen in the air. Rust and Corrosion Inhibitors. Viscosity Index Improvers. Anti-wear Agents such as what we have in the BestLine Racing engine treatment that includes the Diamond Nano-lubricants. Extreme Pressure (EP) Additives.  Detergents. Dispersants. Anti-foaming Agents. There are three types of base oils: mineral, vegetable, and synthetic. Mineral oil comes from crude oil and the quality depends on the refining process. Synthetic oils are man-made fluids and can be beneficial for use in extreme conditions. When does the engine oil need to be replaced?  If you're a trucker or race car owner you know about engine oil analysis and why we use them. Engine oil analysis will give you a full report of what metals or other solids are in your oil along with the TBN, Total Base Number of the oil. How acidic your oil becomes tells you when to change the oil.  Additives age or oxidize and lose their effectiveness when the oil gets acidic. How does oil get acidic? The heat, pressure, blowby, and moisture will cause the oil to become acidic and therefore reduces the effectiveness of the additives that are in all engine oils.  Along with the anti-wear agents and the diamond nano-lubricant, we add antacids to the mixture to extend the oil life and the performance of the oil in general.   I hope this answers some of your questions about additives in all engine oil.  Please feel free to comment or ask questions. I will do my best to answer them as quickly as possible.  Thank you for your continued support.  Perry Anderson, CEO

Not all fuel engine additives are created equally, which is why you need the best solution for your new engine. Here at BestLine we want to guide you to the best options for conditioning your engine for top performance and efficiency, while also protecting it, from the get go.  Fuel additives are a great way to safeguard your engine from carbon build-up and expand your engine's lifespan.  What else can additives do? Let’s find out.  BestLine Fuel Additive A regime performed with a BestLine fuel additive can:  Improve fuel economy Enhance engine power Reduce friction and noise Protect your system Reduce emissions  Our fuel additives are compatible with all types of gasoline, and are especially helpful to diesel-powered engines. Fuel Saver Treatment For Your Truck Want to maximize performance and extend the life of your truck? A fuel saver treatment can do just that.  A treatment with a BestLine fuel saver additive is particularly useful to trucks who need to extend their fuel economy and increase engine power for those long hauls. Additives are especially important when winterising your truck and in helping to prevent hard starts.  Ever since the 2006 government mandate that eliminated sulfur from diesel fuel, fleet owners have relied on additives to make up the difference and improve lubricity and solubility. This is essential to preventative maintenance and to extend the life of your fuel injector.   With a fuel saver treatment you can inject life into your truck’s engine by increasing mileage, extending the life of your oil, and reducing wear and tear by decreasing the heat and noise caused by friction.  Wait — there’s more: fuel additives are not the only kind of additive out there that can protect your new engine and enhance its performance.  Give Your Engine A Treat With Diamond NanolubeBestLine’s Diamond nanolube is a unique additive that coats the internal components of the engine. Our formula contains micro, or “nano” particles that enable it to fill tiny voids and increase the lubricant's contact with all metal surface areas. This greatly reduces the heat and friction caused by sliding contact from heavily loaded metallic parts and, therefore, diminishes naturally-occuring wear and tear. BestLine’s Diamond nanolube also protects the engine system from corrosion, oxidation, and thermal breakdown.  Other benefits that can come from a BestLine nanolube treatment are that it extends the life of your oil and increases fuel economy and performance of your vehicle.

How Does Diamond Nano-Lube Stack Up To The Competition?

on Jan 16, 2023
BestLine Racing's Diamond nano-lube is the best in the oil additive industry. Our unique nanotechnology features an ultra-low friction nano-lube that provides superior coverage, and the other additives just can’t match its performance.  We Don't Make Engine Oil, We Make It Better Keep reading to see five ways our Diamond nano-lube leaves the competition eating our dust. Let’s start at the top.  #1 - BestLine’s Diamond Nano-lube Reduces Friction By 60% Our Diamond nano-lube is a unique additive that coats the internal components of the engine. We created a formula that contains micro, or “nano” particles, and they fill tiny holes and voids in the engine system to increase the lubricant's contact with all metal surface areas.  What this does is reduce the heat and friction caused by sliding contact from heavily loaded metallic parts. In turn, this greatly diminishes the naturally-occuring wear and tear that happens over time.  #2 — Scientifically Proven To Be The Best In an independent study, and reported by WEAR Tribology Magazine, our nano-lube was put to the test. The study used BestLine’s Diamond nano-particles as an oil additive and observed the tribological properties during the two-phases of the engine’s lubricant process.  The study concluded that BestLine’s Diamond nano-lube possesses excellent load-carrying capacity, as well as anti-wear and friction-reduction properties. The study also found that due to the behavior of the diamond nano-particles once inside the system, they increased surface hardness and formed a boundary consisting of lubrication film that prevented the rubbing metal faces from coming into direct contact.  Scientific fact — our Diamond nano-lube reduces friction, heat, and wear. Continue reading to see what else makes our product the best in its class. #3 — Save Money And Enhance Performance Our product will save you money in the long run with improved MPG. With the prices of gasoline constantly going up, this is an area where you can really feel the effect of better fuel economy — your wallet.  BetLine’s nano-lube will also extend the life of your engine and optimize its performance. To double-up on fuel savings, you can also use a BestLine fuel additive. Read our previous blog to see more about what a fuel saver can do for you.  #4 — Good For All Motorized Vehicles And we mean ALL. No, seriously. Our product is formulated for use in both gas and diesel engines and can be used in any kind of vehicle with all types of oil. From vehicles that operate all day, everyday, to vehicles that only drive on the weekends, our Diamond nano-lube has got your engine covered.  Whether you drive a: Passenger car Commercial truck Taxi Motorcycle School Bus Sanitation vehicle Tractor Go kart Jeep Race Car Yes, we just said race car. The demanding nature of race car engines necessitates high-quality maintenance to keep racing engines running at an optimal rate. BestLine’s Diamond nano-lube has an excellent high-heat rating. Thanks to our ultra-low friction technology and extra boundary of layer protection, our nano-lube is vital in keeping the race car engine from overheating in extreme race conditions.  #5 — Tough Engine Protection BestLine’s Diamond nano-lube protects the engine system from corrosion, oxidation, and thermal breakdown. The nano-lube acts as a cleaning agent for oil as it effectively removes junk and deposits from the crankcase, passages, rocker arms, and other critical areas of the engine. It treats the internal components of the engine and keeps all systems functioning at a high level.  Connect With Us And Give Your Vehicle The Best Our products smoke the competition, but don’t just take our word for it.

Can Engine Treatments Be Used With Synthetic Oil?

on Dec 19, 2022
When you’re trying to make your vehicle more efficient and last as long as possible, you’ll try just about anything to do so.  Here at BestLine Racing we want to help you extend the life of your vehicle while helping it run as efficiently as it can.  That’s why we’ve created a line of products that boost your vehicle's performance whether you drive a small sedan, motorcycle, SUV, or 18-wheeler.  Our products are designed to work with gas and diesel engines as well as synthetic and conventional oils!  So if you’re wondering how engine treatments used with synthetic oil works, you’ve come to the right article!  We’ve got all the details on how to best use our Diamond NanoLube engine treatment to boost your engine and your vehicle's overall performance!  What Is An Engine Oil Treatment?  An engine oil treatment is a performance additive that is added to your oil in between regular changes.  The treatment helps to revitalize your oil and keep your engine running smoothly as the oil starts to lose its beneficial properties.  After so long, the oil will start to become less efficient because of how it heats and moves through the engine.  Sludge and build up will start to happen as the engine oil becomes older.  You can help to avoid those issues by using an additive half-way through to bring the oil back to life and allow it to run as efficiently as it was (or even better) until your next change.  But Doesn’t Synthetic Oil Have Additives?  Yes, synthetic oil has some additives already but it’s usually just a small amount to help set different brands apart from each other. Some might boast that their oil helps improve fuel efficiency while others say their brand keeps the engine cleaner longer.  You might not even notice a difference if you switch brands because of the little bit of additives they add to their synthetic oil. So engine treatments used with synthetic oil are perfectly fine as long as the engine treatment is compatible with it!  When you add our Engine Treatment, you’ll find that your vehicle runs cleaner, has better temperature control and has improved fuel economy!  Benefits Of BestLine Engine Treatment We mentioned a few of the benefits above but it’s worth noting all the benefits you’ll get when adding our Engine Treatment to your vehicle maintenance checklist.  Just like adding windshield wiper fluid to your car, you can easily add one bottle of our Engine Treatment for every 5 quarts of oil in between changes.  We also offer larger sizes of treatment fluid for those with bigger engines and oil tanks!  Benefits Of BestLine Engine Treatment: Diamond Ceramic Nano Coating Protects From Heat and Wear More Concentrated High-Pressure Formula  Use One Bottle for Every 5 quarts of oil Extreme Heat Resistance and Boundary Layer Protection High Shock Load Protection Lubricates with Diamond Nano-Particles Cleans & Treats Internal Components Reduces Friction, Heat, and Wear Improves Fuel Economy and Performance Protects Against System Corrosion  Fortifies Against Oxidation and Thermal Breakdown Extreme Pressure Lubricant No Melting Point due to the Diamond Nano-Lubricating Particles Check out the reviews on how our Engine Treatment has helped boost our customers' vehicle performance!  Interested In Learning More About How Engine Treatments Used With Synthetic Oil Benefits Your Vehicle? Contact BestLine Racing Today! When you choose BestLine Racing products you are choosing to use the highest quality, fully tested and best performance additives for your daily driver, high-powered car or work vehicle.  We encourage you to check out the other articles on our blog page for helpful information and tips like our most recent article, “Do Transmission Fluid Additives Work?” Contact us today for more information.

Do Transmission Fluid Additives Work?

on Dec 12, 2022
Like our bodies need water, blood and other fluids to survive and thrive, our vehicles need motor oil, fuel, and transmission fluid and other essential fluids to do the same.  When we are dehydrated, we can’t perform at our best. So what do we do? Drink water and maybe a few sports drinks to help boost our hydration.  The same goes for helping our vehicles perform at their best. That’s why we use performance additives in addition to our regular car fluids.  As a professional driver, or a car enthusiast you know that transmission fluid is essential to your cars performance.  But do you know what its purpose is, and why transmission fluid additives help?  In previous articles we’ve discussed oil treatments, fuel boosters and ways your off-road vehicle can benefit from better lubrication, but today's article is focused solely on transmission fluid and transmission fluid additives.  So let’s dive in and discuss!  What Is Transmission Fluid? To first understand how transmission fluid additives are beneficial, we must first take a look at transmission fluid itself.  Transmission fluid provides the necessary lubrication to your transmissions moving parts. It provides hydraulic pressure and friction to allow the parts to move seamlessly without grinding or overheating.  Transmission fluids aids with various functions including:  Gear lubrication Transmission cooling Valve body operation Brake band friction Condition gaskets Clean and protect metal surfaces and parts from wear Just like motor oil, you need to change your transmission fluid to ensure that your car runs at its optimal performance.

3 Ways Your Off Road Vehicle Can Benefit From Better Lubrication

on Nov 18, 2022
You rip through the mud, race through the dirt, roll through water and much more of your off-road vehicle.  Whether it’s a side by side, ATV, dirt bike or dune buggy you put your off-road vehicle to the test every time you take it out for a ride.  It’s obvious we put these vehicles to the test more often than our daily drivers. We don’t think you’re hitting pot holes or crawling over logs in a sedan. So if you take the time to service your regular vehicle and ensure the engine and all of the other parts that keep your car running in optimal shape, why wouldn’t you do that to the off-road vehicle you run way harder?  Vehicle maintenance isn’t just for your classic car, daily driver, or big rig. It should also be done on your motorcycles, speed bikes, ATVs, dirt bikes and even non-motorized vehicles like a bicycle or even wheelchair!  But today's article is all about how your off-road vehicle can benefit from better lubrication and vehicle care!  So let’s discuss a few ways our products can help!  Lubrication Reduces Friction  In our last article, How Can I Extend The Oil Life Of A Truck, we went into great detail about the importance of oil and why it is necessary to keep your engine and vehicle in overall good running condition.  Your engine in any vehicle is made up of hundreds of small moving parts. Without proper lubrication, or slip, those parts run and grind against each other. That creates friction and eventually wears those parts and small pieces down.  If you are running your off-road vehicle, you certainly don’t want to be caught off guard when your engine stalls or a piece breaks and you realize it’s dry as bone!   Lubrication Protects Against Corrosion And Rust Rusty parts can break off and wreak havoc on your vehicle's engine. When properly lubricated, your parts have extra layers of protection that keep them from allowing water, extreme cold or heat that can cause the rusting or corrosion of those parts.  How many times have you powered through water and mud and anything else in your off-road vehicle? How many times have you thoroughly cleaned that vehicle after you’ve driven it?  If left to dry with all that extra muck and mud, you could be allowing all those particles and dirt to enter into your engine and cause problems. Keep it protected with that layer of lubrication.  Lubrication Increases Efficiency Who doesn’t love an optimally and properly working vehicle? When your vehicle is lubricated with the right oil and additives you can increase the efficiency and power of that vehicle!  You’ll benefit from better gas mileage, better movement and power from the engine, less dirt, grime and sludge buildup within the engine allowing it to move better and much more.  It’s not hard to add a few extra drops of our Best Line Racing Diamond Nano-Lube Engine Treatment to your off-road vehicle in between oil changes, and the benefits you’ll gain from using it are endless.  Want To Know More About How Your Off-Road Vehicle Can Benefit From Better Lubrication? See Best Line Racing Today!  If you’re interested in increasing the life of the engine in your off-road vehicle as well as increasing the power and efficiency, contact us today about our fleet of products that do just that.  We have gasoline treatments, oil treatments and even lubrication spray that you can put onto brake handles, and those hard to reach ball bearings or other moving parts outside of the engine!  To learn more about our products, review our website, read our blogs and check out our reviews to see how we’ve help customers just like you!
How Can I Extend The Oil Life Of A Truck?

How Can I Extend The Oil Life Of A Truck?

on Nov 11, 2022
We want to work smarter, not harder, in all aspects of life right? If we can find a more efficient way to do something, why would we continue doing it the harder or longer way?  That’s how the wheel was created right? Because someone said they didn’t feel like carrying things anymore, so instead they created a round moveable object that can move items more easily from one place to the other.  And now because of those who strive to work smarter and not harder, we have cars that run on gasoline, diesel and even electricity.  So what does this all have to do with extending the oil life of a truck? We’re glad you asked.  Every so many thousand miles you’ve gotta stop and replace the oil in your truck, which may not take long to do but isn’t probably your favorite thing to do either.  So why not make the time between changes even longer AND make the oil more efficient until the next change?  If that’s caught your attention, then keep reading to learn how our Best Line Racing Engine Treatment can extend the oil life of a truck and keep it running in tip-top shape!  The Life Of Oil In A Truck You know you need oil to make your car or truck run properly but do you know why? Oil provides necessary lubrication to the many moving parts in the engine. Without it, the engine parts would create friction and run together as they moved, which would ultimately grind and wear down the parts. You’d be constantly replacing your engine parts and your vehicle wouldn’t perform as optimally as it should.  However, the oil in your car isn’t meant to last forever. As it cycles through the engine it will start to collect all the dirt and debris and as it heats and cools it will start to turn to sludge.  That’s why it won’t last forever and you need to drain the old and put in new every so many thousand miles.  Extend The Oil Life Of A Truck Many engine oils also contain additives that help your vehicle run even more smoothly but there typically isn’t enough to last the entire oil cycle.  That’s where an engine oil treatment comes in. You can add the engine oil treatment between oil changes to boost the efficiency of the oil and extend the oil life of a truck or car to go longer between oil changes.  Benefits of our Diamond Nano-Lube Engine Treatment include: Extreme heat resistance and boundary layer protection High shock load protection Lubricates with diamond nano-particles Cleans and treats internal engine components Reduces heat, friction and wear  Improves fuel economy and performance  Protects against systems corrosion Fortifies against oxidation and thermal breakdown You can also learn about the benefits of this treatment by checking out the reviews to see how it helped customers with their professional trucks, daily drivers and high performance vehicles!  Pro Tip: Read our latest article, Performance Additives For Trucks - What You Should Know, for more details!

We only use advanced, high-quality ingredients in our additives which makes our products stand out from the rest!  Pair our engine treatment with Blud CK-4 HD Truck Oil 5W-40 for optimal truck performance!  To learn more about which additives would benefit your truck or vehicle the most, contact us today for assistance!

Performance Additives For Trucks - What You Should Know

on Oct 31, 2022
As a professional truck driver you know the importance of having your rig in the best shape and condition possible for the drive.  Whether you’re driving through the city or across the country, your truck is your livelihood and any issues that cause you to stop or pause your trip costs you valuable time and money.  It’s crucial that you use the right equipment, oil, and other performance additives to help you get the job done and get your truck and whatever you’re hauling where it needs to go.  Don’t know about what performance additives are good for your semi or big rig? We’ve got you covered.  Let's talk about performance additives for trucks!  What Is A Performance Additive?  Performance additives are typically liquid substances that accompany your current fuel or oil. They are added to help boost the performance of the traditional formulas and improve performance overall inside the trucks moving parts.  There are fuel additives and engine oil treatments that you can add to your truck.  Fuel Additives One of the major performance additives for trucks is a fuel additive. Fuel additives improve gas mileage, cleans your engine from sludge and build up, improves combustion, reduces emissions, improves octane rating and more.  Our Diesel Fuel Additive helps to clean, lubricate, boost Cetane, clean fuel injectors and keep DPF Filters clean.  In fact we take truck performance so critically, we have separate winter and summer blends to ensure your truck gets what it needs no matter what the season.  Winter Blend Our winter blend contains an anti-icing inhibitor that lowers the freezing point of water and keeps the fuel liquid and flowing even in periods of extreme cold.  Summer Blend Our summer blend boosts power, stabilizes stored fuel, reduces the need to downshift during high-load conditions, contains maximum fuel lubricant, prevents thermal/oxidative breakdown of fuel and much more.  Engine Oil Treatment You drive a long time in between oil changes, so over time your oil becomes less effective and your truck doesn’t run at its optimal performance. Boost it between oil changes with an engine oil treatment.  Engine oil treatments like our BestLine Racing treatment with Diamond Nano-Lube technology increases engine performance and keeps it working at its best for as long as possible.  When you have a high performance and high operating vehicle like a truck that constantly has you stopping and going you quickly minimize and deplete the necessary additives that are already in your oil.  When these additives are gone you’ll have sludge build up, more friction between moving parts and reduced engine performance overall.  Eliminate that by using engine oil treatment in between changes.  Here are a few benefits of an engine oil treatment:  High shock load protection Increased lubrication between moving parts Protection against corrosion and oxidation Cleans and treats internal components Improved fuel economy and performance Reduction in heat, friction and water  Want To Know More About Performance Additives For Trucks? See BestLine Racing!  Here at BestLine we take pride in the time taken, dedication and passion we have for creating the highest quality performance additives for all types of vehicles.  They have been researched and developed to help improve performance of both diesel and gas powered engines, young and old, big and small, racing and daily drivers.  We also have gun and reel oil to protect your outdoor gear!  To learn more about our products check out our reviews page and read our blogs for helpful insight and tips!  For questions about which product is right for your vehicle, contact us today for help!

3 Reasons You Need Our Gun And Reel Lubricant

on Oct 14, 2022
Whether you’re an avid hunter, fisherman, sporting clay shooter or go fishing for fun on the weekends, you know the importance of caring for your gun and fishing reel.  No matter how much you use either, it’s essential to take proper care of them to ensure they last you as long as possible.  Here at BestLine Racing we’ve created a gun and reel lubricant using our Diamond Nano-Lube that will protect and extend the life of your equipment.  A vehicle performance company that makes gun and reel oil? Yep! Like your vehicle, your guns and fishing gear have moving parts that can corrode, rust, wear and more.  So we figured that if it’s important for vehicles to have high-quality performance products, why not make a gun and reel oil that does the same?  About BestLine Racing Gun And Reel Lubricant Our BestLine Racing Tactical Gun Oil is a synthetic oil made from renewably sourced hydrocarbons processed into API Group IV base stock. This just means we made sure to create an environmentally sound, high-quality synthetic oil. Here are a few specifications of the gun and reel oil that you’ll find are particularly helpful for these kinds of equipment:  Non-gumming Non-staining  Remains fluids up to -30 degree Fahrenheit Has detergents for cleaning Boundary lubricity Wear protection Rust protection Non-irritating Non-toxic Fingerprint protection Nearly odorless - smells like fresh cut grass!  So why is it important that we use gun and reel oil? We’ve listed 3 reasons below!  Benefit 1: Reduces Friction As we said above, any mechanism or piece of equipment that has moving parts will ultimately start to wear due to friction between the parts.  When properly lubricated, the friction is lessened and the pieces move more easily against and around each other.  By reducing friction you reduce wear and tear on your equipment. And for anyone with a favorite gun or fishing reel, you know how important it is to keep it in the best shape possible.  Benefit 2: Reduces Rust And Corrosion Over time the materials used to make your gun or fishing reel will begin to show rust or corrosion in some areas. Even the oils from your fingers and hands can cause rust to appear quickly in high-touch areas.  By adding a thin layer of lubricant you’ll add a layer of protection against the elements and even your hands.  Benefit 3: Extends The Life Of Your Equipment We want our guns and fishing gear to last us as long as possible. We have invested time and money getting exactly what we want and have become used to working with them.  When you take proper care of your equipment you ultimately extend the quality and lifespan.  If you clean your gun and reel after every use (which you should be doing), be sure to spray on a thin layer of our gun and reel lubricant to keep it working as smoothly as possible.  You’ll enjoy having optimally performing equipment that lasts long enough to pass down to your children and beyond!  Want To Know More About Our Gun And Reel Oil?
