For OX, Solex and related engines, and large trucks.

Because this trip was fully loaded with medical supplies, a key challenge was packing the spare parts as compactly as possible.

A genuine air filter proven in desert rallies

…cushions between parts while still performing its original air-cleaner function.

…In that respect, the pass filter is lightweight and compact, fits into a small space, and also…

…and it saved time as well. Its dust collection is excellent, completely blocking even fine sand. On the filter surface…

…and it filtered effectively, which was a great help. The one-touch filter replacement also saved maintenance time.

Even when sand clung to the surface, we noticed no loss of engine power.

Prevents compression leakage…

Mineral oil or synthetic oil

Can also be added to…

Micro Cera

…with the same beneficial effect.

Teflon-based powder, 120 g

During the Paris–Dakar rally, in the equatorial Sahara, both water and oil temperatures stayed within their proper ranges.

Boron-based powder, 50 g

Years of proven performance as an oil additive for factory use

Wax oil-additive base material

Micro Teflon II

Proven in Group A competition

One bottle lasts for about 30 additions at each oil change, so it is economical…

Unlike some additives, its effectiveness does not seem to decline after an oil change.

A Group A GT-R completed the event despite a damaged differential case and no oil.

Oil temperature fell by 10–20°C.

Numerous user reports from GT-Rs used in Group A say…

Add about 1 g to a Teflon-based oil additive. P.T.F.E. powder, 120…

…120 g is included (equivalent to about ¥1,000,000 worth of conventional Teflon additive), so it can be used repeatedly…

Micro Cera

Proven in Group A competition

…the boron fills microscopic friction pits inside the engine and creates a super-smooth, mirror-finished surface like a factory engine…

Ideal for engines under severe use! Add it to engine oil; after about 3,000 km…

About ¥120 per application

…can be used many times per oil change. Mix about 3 g with inexpensive wax…

…according to user reports, when combined with Micro Cera it allowed commercial vehicles to travel about 70… even with no oil due to damage.

…improves the body’s color and gloss beyond the effect of conventional Teflon coating…

About ¥460 per application

…and oil temperature drops by 10–20°C.

…and when used with Micro Teflon II, friction approaches zero.

It drastically reduces friction and prevents heat from building up at its source. In this condition…

It has become standard practice.

Leading racing teams routinely add Teflon powder to engine oil.

Improves taxi fuel economy by 17%; extends kei-car engine life to over 350,000 km; helps prevent oil-pan damage…

Can also be added to coolant…

50 g, ¥5,800 (free shipping)

Can be added to mineral or synthetic oil.

* When used in engine oil, about ¥120 per application. Also suitable for diesel vehicles.

● 120 g, ¥3,800 (free shipping)

Suitable for diesel vehicles too.

* Enough for 12 oil changes; about ¥460 per application.

Nitro-based fuel additive

Prevents loss of top-end torque and increases maximum speed.

This product makes that possible; therefore…

…makes the regular specified dose even more effective.

They use 100% nitro fuel, so despite using an OHV engine, their acceleration is faster than a jet fighter…

U.S. drag racers who run the quarter-mile in the 4-second range are called Top Fuel racers.

…it can be done safely. Use a mortar, a specialty automotive…

In particular, adding several times the specified amount of Micro Teflon II…

…because the fuel itself is rocket propellant, even though the engine has pistons…

…because they use rocket fuel itself.

The magazine’s test report found a 12 PS increase (about 10%) in an AE101.

The same effect as increasing displacement and compression ratio through powerful compression-leak prevention…

…power-up data have been published. (Adding extra…

It also increases power in diesel vehicles.

…(for tuned cars, use it with premium gasoline). Also ideal for turbo cars.

For drag racing, adding it later produces more power.

…the same effect is achieved, so regular-grade engines may be able to use premium fuel…

…may be necessary.)

Add 300–600 cc per 1,100 cc displacement.

Powerful mid-range acceleration!

★ Fuel additive for gasoline automatic cars; also usable in manual-transmission cars.

A thrilling burst of acceleration in automatic cars

PETRONUM

…boosting torque from the midrange, where peak torque is made, so it is effective for drag racing.

It excels in racing and passing acceleration. Its wide torque band also improves fuel economy…

…and also greatly improves it. Diesel top speed rises too.

Torque increase

G-torque

It greatly boosts torque below 4,000 rpm and increases automatic-car power…

…makes an automatic car launch sharply enough to chirp the tires, even on dry pavement.

For top-speed attempts in gasoline cars, the original Petronum is recommended.

● Also usable as an octane booster; commercially available premium fuel can reach 100 octane…

…so even cars designed for premium gasoline can use regular fuel.
