MT-10 Metal Treatment™

Advanced technology, antifriction lubricant additive

The Original Metal Treatment™

The keystone of the MPC line of specialty lubricants, additives and greases is MT-10 Metal Treatment™. It is the advanced technology, antifriction lubricant additive consisting of a blend of the highest quality petrochemical products. MT-10 contains no PTFE, graphite, moly, solid lubricants or silicone.

MT-10 has been formulated to increase the efficiency and performance of your automobile, truck or commercial vehicle. But in order to obtain the full benefit of the product, it requires dedicated interest on your part to follow product directions and take proper care of your vehicle. Oil changes, oil filters, gas filters, good grades of fuel, proper lube jobs, tune ups and qualified auto technicians performing maintenance and repairs all pay dividends toward the annual expense and the life of your vehicle.

MT-10 Metal Treatment™ is recommended for these automotive applications:

• Engines
• Transmissions (Automatic & Standard)
• Power Steering/Rack Assembly Units
• Differentials

ENGINES

ADVANTAGES

• Smooths, seals & protects metal surfaces of bearings, pistons, cam, crankshaft, lifters & all other internal, moving metal parts
• Protects engine against friction-related heat & wear
• Reduces operating temperatures
• Increases horsepower
• Extends the life of lubricated engine parts
• Reduces oil consumption
• Recommended for gasoline & diesel engines

TRANSMISSIONS

One of the biggest enemies of a transmission is heat. The amount of heat present in the system will normally dictate the lifetime of that transmission. When MT-10 is added, heat is significantly reduced. MT-10 addresses the extreme-pressure (EP) areas, such as planetary and worm gear systems, along with bushings, bearings and shafts.

VALVE BODY OPERATION: In many cases presented by professional transmission builders, MT-10 has freed the valve body and maximized performance with no recurrence of sticking or intermittent hang-ups.

GOVERNORS: As most builders are aware, there are certain governor systems that have unique tendencies to hang up for no apparent reason. Two reasons these hang-ups occur are contaminants and microscopic spiking of the metal due to electrolytic corrosion of the metal. MT-10 will displace contaminants and smooth and seal metal surfaces, removing electrolytic spikes and preventing their formation.

ADVANTAGES

• Lowers operating temperatures
• Frees valve body for maximum performance
• Eliminates governor hang-ups
• Keeps oil passages, orifices & ball checks clean & fully operational
• Extends the service life of the transmission
• Eliminates premature failure and costly call backs
• Reduces metal particle fallout & debris
• Removes varnish buildup
• Eliminates lock-up chatter in the torque converter
• Insures proper shifts
• Safe for seals & gaskets
• No negative affect on sprag or clutch friction*
• Recommended for automatic & standard transmissions

* Although MT-10 reduces friction, it has no negative affect on the sprag or clutch friction necessary for the operation of the transmission. As confirmed by Raymark in a letter of October 1986 in testing their SAE clutch pack: "The results of our test indicate no change in the friction levels, thus we do not expect the addition of your additive to have a negative effect on our friction products."

POWER STEERING/RACK ASSEMBLY UNITS

ADVANTAGES

• Protects against friction-related heat & wear
• Smooths, seals & protects metal surfaces
• Reconditions rack piston & cylinders
• Helps return smooth & easy operation to the unit*

*If you are experiencing difficulty with the unit, we recommend the unit be thoroughly flushed prior to the addition of MT-10.

DIFFERENTIALS

ADVANTAGES

• Treats the metal surfaces of the gears
• Protects against friction-related heat & wear
• Optimizes performance for more power
• Extends the life of lubricated differential parts

NOTE: Limited slip additive is still required with the use of MT-10.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Carried to the moving metal parts by the fluid to which it is added, MT-10 creates a boundary film which smoothes and seals metal surfaces to reduce friction and friction-related heat. This results in less wear and smoother operation of the mechanism with no danger of build up or changes in tolerances. The end result is improved operation of the system.

MT-10 improves the overall tribological properties of the metal surfaces. Film strength is a function of surface roughness and viscosity. The smoother the surface, the higher the film strength, while viscosity can be lower to improve fluid flow conditions.

MT-10-treated surfaces will increase fluid film strength, reducing friction, heat, wear and energy consumption. This returns efficiency and previously wasted energy back to the system for increased power. This process, combined with the physical surface improvement of the metals, steps up oil flow, reduces metal film strength, improves the shear strength of the base lubricant, and results in an overall reduction in friction and friction-related wear.
