PROTEK-R: Fuel lubricant for rotary engines

CUT FRICTION ! GAIN POWER ! A must have for every Rx8 owner !

If we expect good longevity and top performance from our rotary engines it is clear that extra lubricant must be added to the fuel.

This is why; the oil metering system is responsible for lubricating the delicate apex seals, compression seals and housing surfaces that are common to every rotary engine. Oil is fed from the engine oiling system (oil-pan) to a variable ratio-metering pump, then it’s injected into the engine where it partially blends with the onrushing air-fuel charge.

This incomplete blending and fuel-to-oil ratios of 400:1*and higher are cause for alarm, but now add in unleaded fuels that are designed to cleanpiston engines, these fuels and the rotary’s high combustion temperature quickly clean away this small amount of oil leaving little or no lubrication. This causes increased friction and wear, resulting in decreased performance and longevity.

With over 25 years experience and more than 1000 rotary engines built, we know excessive wear on apex and compression seals as well as critical housing surfaces is caused from inadequate lubrication and using today’s fuels. What’s all this mean? With out proper lubrication friction, heat and today’s fuels will likely cause premature failure of some expensive engine parts, great for Mazda’s profits but not good for you and me.

By reducing friction and wear Protek-R can extend rotary engine life by 30% or more, depending on your driving habits and consistency of use. Protek-R blends completely with your fuel lubricating all critical surfaces, providing reduced friction and wear, adding longevity and keeping power.

In just one 24 hour race a Pettit Race Engine will get a lifetime of our fuel they show little engine wear compared to the average street engines we regularly disassemble.

For RX8 owners, some Renesis engines have weak or low compression, Mazda says “heat generated friction” is the cause, but since factory recalibration for the RX-8 ECU increases injected oil for the high revving Renesis; could they just need some Protek-R to help cut friction and reduce wear? We think so and that’s what Protek-R does best.

By adding just 4 floz of Protek-R with a full tank of petrol, the fuel-to-oil ratio is improved by 100%, or 200:1 and better. Cut Friction Gain Power, use Protek-R!
