Independent back-to-back tests using a Porsche 911 race engine showed an immediate power gain of more than 5% by replacing a top conventional synthetic lubricant with Nanodrive oil of the same viscosity, said Millers Oils’ Technical Director Martyn Mann. “In motorsport, lower friction means quicker lap times, and reduced wear means fewer costly engine rebuilds. In the road car industry, engineers are continually trying to improve engine efficiency through developments such as smaller bearings and low friction rings and cylinder liners. Nanodrive contributes to each of these requirements without needing any design modifications or changes to manufacturing,” he said.
In comparison tests with conventional boundary lubricants such as molybdenum disulphide, conducted at Millers’ U.K. R&D center, Nanodrive lubricants are reported to have reduced friction by up to 25% while increasing load capacity by up to 80%.
