A:
While Stiction Eliminator is compatible with Rev-X, we do not recommend mixing additives.
A:
There are no major precautions with either product. Diesel Extreme is a very intense fuel additive cleaner that we recommend using every 6K miles. In most cases, yes, Stiction Eliminator will resolve the stiction symptoms you’re experiencing. Noises like that are tough to diagnose sometimes; we have also heard that this type of noise could come from injectors with internal varnish deposits. The Diesel Extreme will remedy internal deposits. If you have ruled out any mechanical problems, try our product — we offer a money-back guarantee if it doesn’t fix your problem.
A:
We recommend waiting until there are at least 10K miles on your truck, then use a maintenance-level treatment of Stiction Eliminator or the regular dose of FR3 on the oil side. Because of the way these two products reduce friction, we want to ensure the engine is completely broken in. You may use Everyday Diesel Treatment (EDT) immediately and Diesel Extreme at the 10K mile level.
A:
Stiction Eliminator, FR3, Diesel Extreme and Everyday Diesel Treatment can be used in any diesel engine. All our diesel fuel additives meet the latest Tier 4 specifications.
A:
No, Blue Diamond oil and all Hot Shot’s Secret oil additives are fully compatible with all oils.
A:
Stiction Eliminator is compatible with any Group II conventional, Group II and III semi-synthetic, Group III synthetic and Group IV PAO full synthetic oil.
A:
There are no dangers. In fact, Stiction Eliminator helps to clean and lubricate everything that comes in contact with the oil. You will notice a quicker turbo spool time that results from the removal of stiction on the turbo shaft. Piston rings will free up, causing a better seal for better economy and power with less oil consumption. Oil galleries clean up and wear decreases, which increase the life of your engine.
A:
There are no long-term concerns with the use of Stiction Eliminator. Every Hot Shot’s Secret product has gone through an intense testing regimen that includes no-harm testing. When used as directed, the longevity of your engine will increase dramatically.
A:
The Stiction Eliminator and FR3 can be used in any oil system that uses either synthetic or conventional oil. We have found that the performance benefits in gasoline applications are similar to those in diesel applications. Many gasoline engines use the oil as hydraulic fluid for engine functions. Engines equipped with hydraulic lifters or turbos have benefited the most from using Stiction Eliminator and FR3.
A:
If, after 4,000 miles, you feel that the product did not eliminate stiction or improve your truck’s stiction symptoms, send in your receipt and/or UPC code from the label, along with your address and phone number. We will mail you a check with a full refund. If you feel that the product helped somewhat but you are still having stiction symptoms, you may request a second bottle free of charge, instead. Please allow 2 – 3 weeks for processing.
