Oil Friction Reducer
FR3 Friction Reducer is a lubricity enhancing oil additive that increases the lubricating & wear reduction properties of the host oil. The product contains three proprietary synthetic lubricants that have unique lubricating properties even compared to PAO or mPAO synthetics of the same viscosity. The anti-wear component of the formula is an exclusive carbon nano lubricant that fills in microscopic irregularities on the machined surface. The synergy of these components extend the base oil performance in shear stability, oxidation stability, film strength & especially friction reduction. It also increases the oil’s film strength for added protection and efficiency.

**Please make sure overall oil level does not exceed oil fill level when adding**

The Science


There is not a product in the world that contains the same chemical makeup as Hot Shot’s Secret FR3 Friction Reducer, making it truly a one-of-a-kind. It contains the most effective nano lubricant available, nano carbons. Nano carbon particles are spherical in shape and are less than 10 nano meters in diameter. This allows the lubricant to find the voids and blemishes on a machined surface, fill these gaps and provide a smoother surface for the lubricating film to form.

While nano carbons are highly effective on their own as a friction reducer, FR3 Friction Reducer also contains two other patented lubricants blended into the formula. The synergy between these patented lubricants have unique lubricating properties even compared to PAO or mPAO synthetics of the same viscosity. FR3 Friction Reducer is also negatively charged, allowing it to attach itself to the oil-wetted components inside your engine. The esters inside FR3 Friction Reducer are also responsible for the increased rubber seal lubrication as well as a slight swelling of seals for less oil leaks.

Wear rates are reduced by 43% on the ASTM G-133 test when using FR3 Friction Reducer. The patented nano particles cross link at the surface, which increases film strength and boundary lubrication. The synergy of these components extends the base oil performance in shear stability, oxidation stability, film strength and especially friction reduction.

Lost compression is restored by cleaning deposits on the rings and pistons and by providing a smoother sealing surface for the rings, which results in better ring sealing, less blow-by and increased combustion efficiency. The reduction in the coefficient of friction reduces operating temperatures and improves the oxidative stability of the host oil ensuring longer life for your engine. Fuel mileage and horsepower gains of 5% are not uncommon with the use of FR3 Friction Reducer, as backed by dyno and road testing.

    Great Product! Great Company to Deal With

    Shawn Snyder (verified owner)

    I really like the FR3. It seems to quiet my 05 F-250 6.0 a little. Will say that the engine seems to start easier, and the dieseling noise is not as pronounced. Have use Hot Shot’s Secret since I purchased this truck, and all of their products do what they say and a very high quality. Even called and spoke to them about product usage, and they were extremely helpful and knew what they were talking about. Again, great products, great people, and as always…GREAT RESULTS!!

    Love this product!

    Barry Bishop

    FR3 oil additive has very noticeably improved engine performance and mileage in every gasoline powered vehicle I have used it in. Improved fuel economy, increased acceleration, and a much smoother running engine is what I have experienced using it. I have used several other products offered by Lubrication specialties and every one has performed exactly as claimed. These guys really know their products and are quick to answer any questions I have had. Customer Service has been a pleasure to speak with, their shipping is affordable (and often free!) and fast, and has always arrived well packed and in good condition. I am a very satisfied customer as well as a customer for life. Thanks LSI !!

    FR3 really works!!!! Outstanding product!!!!

    Carl (verified owner)

    I have been testing FR3 in my 2008 Toyota Prius. I am consistently seeing 7-8% improvement in mileage on a car with 248,000 miles on it. Amazing stuff! I really like FR3. It actually DOES what is claimed. This is a quality product, NOT “snake oil” junk. My engine is quieter, smoother and getting better mileage. Since this product really works for me, I have recently added it to my wife’s 2006 Toyota Prius, my 2003 Ford Excursion 6.0L diesel, my push mower, my 4-cycle weed-eater, and my commercial 60″ 27-hp zero-turn mower. As soon as I receive more product, I plan to use it on our 2006 Pontiac Montana, the tiller and our 10k watt generator. Great stuff!!!! I run Amsoil 100% synthetic in everything I own, if anyone was curious. Now, FR3 is also standard issue for me with every oil change. Keep up the good work LSI !!!!

    FR3 review

    Monty McKinzy (verified owner)

    I recently changed oil in my 2010 Ford F-150 and added FR3 also. On startup, you can really tell how it has reduced friction and runs smoother than before…..The claim of increased fuel economy is the truth as it has extended a tankful to 1.5 times to work….roughly about 6.5% on miles per gallon.

Common Questions About Hot Shot’s Secret Oil Friction Reducer

You rely on your friction reducer to protect your engine’s components from wear and improve your vehicle’s fuel economy. As a result, you want to make sure you choose the right oil additive for your engine. To make an informed purchasing decision, review answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about FR3 below.

How does FR3 Friction Reducer work?

FR3 is an oil additive that boosts lubricity using three synthetic lubricants. These lubricants work together to increase horsepower, combustion efficiency and base oil performance.

One of the synthetic lubricants in FR3 — made from round nano carbon particles less than 10 nanometers in diameter — also reduces wear on engine components by filling in imperfections and creating a smoother surface for the lubricating film to form. Hot Shot’s Secret FR3 Friction Reducer has a negative charge, which allows it to effectively adhere to oil-wetted engine components.

 

Will FR3 Friction Reducer work with my engine?

We have formulated FR3 Friction Reducer to work safely and effectively in gasoline and diesel engines, including vehicle, marine, RV, agriculture, construction and semitruck engines. This oil friction reducer also effectively lubricates power steering, differential and hydraulic systems.

 

When should I add FR3 to my engine’s oil?

You should add FR3 Friction Reducer to your engine’s base oil during each regularly scheduled oil change. The treatment ratio for our oil friction reducer is 1.5 ounces of FR3 per quart of oil. FR3 is compatible with most mineral and synthetic base oils, as well as motor, transmission, gear and hydraulic oils, so you can feel comfortable adding it to your vehicle’s most critical systems.

 

Can I use FR3 with other oil additives?

We do not recommend using FR3 Friction Reducer at the same time as any other oil additives, including our own. However, you can alternate using FR3 and Hot Shot’s Secret Stiction Eliminator to help remove the buildup created by burnt oil. For the best results, use Stiction Eliminator for the first oil change and FR3 Friction Reducer for the next two oil changes, then repeat the cycle.

 

Will using FR3 void my engine’s warranty?

Using FR3 will not damage your engine’s components or void your manufacturer’s warranty. That’s a guarantee. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prevents manufacturers from using unfair or misleading warranty disclaimers, and it also ensures your warranty remains in effect when you use our additives. Just remember to use FR3 with a type of oil recommended by your manufacturer for use with your engine.
