Among motorists, there are many topics that never lose relevance and gather radically opposing opinions.
One of them is the need to use additives in the engine. Such additives are not cheap, even domestic materials are not affordable, so no one wants to make a mistake in their choice.
In this article we will look at the popular additive Suprotec. Let us note what effects its use promises – and whether car owners confirm them.
Product Description
Suprotec manual transmission is a specialized tribotechnical composition for a manual gearbox.
It does not change the properties of the transmission fluid and is not aggressive to oil seals. The drug recognizes the most loaded points and creates a metal layer in these places, which restores damaged parts and protects them from subsequent wear. The composition of Suprotec for manual transmissions includes layered silicates chlorite and serpentine, and Dexron-type mineral oil acts as a carrier. It is impossible to find out the exact composition of the drug, since it is kept in the strictest confidence by the company.
The real effect of using the additive. Advantages and disadvantages
The majority of car owners who have been helped by Suprotek note its ability to make engine operation quieter, softer and more dynamic.
Many have observed a reduction in fuel and oil consumption, a stop to the knocking of hydraulic compensators, and trouble-free starting of the power unit at any time of the year.
Moreover, all of the above effects are observed not immediately after pouring the additive, but after some time.
The disadvantages of the supplement include its high price and uselessness in some cases. More specifics below.
Instructions for use
Suprotec should be used in a mechanic’s gearbox according to the following algorithm:
- Warm up the box in normal operation mode and turn off the engine.
- Shake the bottle with the product vigorously until the sediment is completely mixed with the carrier.
- Pour the contents of the bottle into the oil filler neck of the manual transmission crankcase.
- Drive the car for 20-30 in normal operation mode.
The vehicle can then be used as usual.
Important! 1 bottle of the product is enough to treat mechanical and robotic gearboxes with a lubricant volume of up to 3.5 liters.
Additives Suprotec - reviews
Victor
Gazelle, 2705. I filled it with Suprotek according to the instructions, i.e., after 1000 km, I changed the oil and poured in a second bottle. As a result, after 2000 km, the connecting rod and fist broke. Friendship. Pure scam. But whether to take it or not is your decision
Kirill
Should not be used on an engine that consumes oil. The dirt is washed away and the gaps become even larger than they were, therefore, oil consumption will become more than 30%, and not less by 30%, as they promised me at the official office. Honing on cylinders cannot be restored with an additive if the cylinder is an ellipse, there is only capital. Oil consumption before using 3 stages of the additive was 1 liter per 3000 thousand km, after use it became 1 liter per 1000 km. And now you have to buy three times more oil to top up. Waste of money, just to sell them
Peter
I heard and watched enough advertisements about Miracle Suprotec and started pouring their additive into gasoline. A Lexus RX-350 car with a mileage of 80,000 literally after ten kilometers I noticed that my fuel consumption had increased significantly. I called the additive manufacturer's hotline. They assured that everything was fine as it should be. Fill a couple more bottles and a miracle will happen! I've already filled 4 and rolled out 4 tanks to no avail, the consumption is crazy. This is a SCAM!!!!
Alexei
At a mileage of 46,000 km, I treated the internal combustion engine (G4KE, 2.4 l) with Active composition in order (if you believe the advertising) to increase its resource. Kia Optima TF, 2012, made in Korea, bought new, careful operation, owner, who is also a single driver. Oil change every 7,500 km, treatment with Regular every 15,000 km. As a result, at a mileage of 156,400 km, the connecting rod bearing turned, the main journal and one cylinder lifted. Compression is 13 Bar on 3 cylinders and 12.5 Bar on the 4th. There was no trace of the oil-guzzler. Disassembling the engine showed that the fuel system cleaner and SGA were working because... the injectors were in pristine condition, the valves and combustion chambers were clean. A logical question arises - why did I buy the trains, and exclusively at the representative office on Kalanchovskaya, if I ended up with 160 rubles on such a mileage? I would really like to see the manufacturer's comments.
Dmitriy
Killed the engine of a Mercedes, a bus, ended up in the capital, all the metal parts were black, the technicians said it was due to an additive
Alexander
Brothers at the wheel, I have been driving since 1969 (I started with a ZIS 150). Use GOOD oil and change it on time (after 5-7 thousand) and everything will be fine. And let the manufacturers of this miracle pour Supratek into their toothpaste. Plaque will definitely be removed from your teeth.
Sergey
I poured a gasoline additive from this manufacturer into the Tiguan, it immediately started working, it began to twitch, an engine error appeared and the ESR caught fire. I thought Russian meant good, and here’s a slap on the nose for your gullibility. Stay away from this brand and your car will serve you faithfully!
Vyacheslav
I filled it up and followed the instructions on the bottle. A week later I had an engine overhaul. Do not take. I doubt it's a coincidence.
Alexander
I poured this crap into the engine. I drove it according to the regulations. Two days later all the compensators began to chirp. In the evening of the same day, the engine wedged. Before this everything was fine. I wanted something better... why the hell with this crap, I don’t know. Now I walk. Whether proklet it is supprotek.
Andrey
I completed a full course in 3 stages of the Suprotec additive, the Mitsubishi Lancer engine, it all ended in a major overhaul, do not believe the advertising and positive reviews, this additive kills the engine, gearbox, etc.
Vladimir
I ruined two automatic transmissions until I understood why. The master said the places of contact were blue due to overheating. I have a gazelle with a 2jz ge swap, automatic transmission 35-50 ls. After filling in the miracle lubrication additive, the transmission died in two weeks.
Victor
I poured 3 bottles of Suprotec into the engine according to the instructions, but didn’t notice the desired result, and later, after about 20-30 tons of mileage, I began to burn up the oil, I think so because of this crap, since our engines (Mitsuban) don’t like all these additives. And however, only you can draw conclusions. ps in the USSR there were two or three types of beer, the same amount of sausage and everything else, but now there are not enough fingers to count everything. My opinion is advertising and nothing more.
Max
Don't believe miracles don't happen!!!
Alexei
My car is old, but the diesel engine worked flawlessly. The mileage was over 250,000, I decided to extend the life... the first 2 stages did not yield anything, by the end of the third the oil pressure light began to blink. Apparently the pump was eaten by this thing. I'll go to the service one of these days, an autopsy will show
Andrey
Suprotec is garbage, this additive only increases the octane number at most and it’s not worth it. It's better to take the Japanese kosantec

Ph.D.
I’ll add to my message about Suprotec: I recommended to a friend to use Suprotec in a Toyota Soarer turbo engine, not even a week has passed, with a column of smoke coming from the exhaust pipe, both turbochargers were removed, the bushings and impeller axles were worn out.
I don't know if there is a relationship with the superprotec, but... There is a sediment left)) maybe this abrasive was waiting for those very ceramic parts of the turbocharger?!

Hi all!!! I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or what))) I also heard enough miracles about Suprotec, I decided to fill it in my newly acquired BMW 530i, I filled it up, I went to Tyumen, I was flying at 200 km/h, and then you got an engine error (((and I drove home with grief on the floors and drove to bmw workshops...... call, come but I'm flying, and here you have a piston scuffing and the top of the piston has broken off ((((and scuffing of such depth is just fucked up ((((here they are installing a new engine))) the engine was working before this exactly quietly result: engine 80 t.r. replacement 20 t.r. of oil, filter, etc. But I also have a BMW x 5 4.6is so that’s where I filled 4000t/km back with liquid moly muligen oil and decided to use the German Kiratek additive) so far the flight is normal all winter through 1000 replacement, I fill it with the same thing, only the viscosity is more than 5/50 and there is no zhora. And without an additive!

I used it for a whole year - zero effect.... it remains as it was - and I took it from the office. representative... This is pure scam and no one will convince me otherwise because... I tried it myself.

Eugene
It didn’t help me, I poured automatic transmission 80 into the automatic. The mileage after the next oil change was small, about 10 thousand. The total mileage of the car was 165. The reason for this “experiment” was kicks in 3rd and 4th gear. I filled the bottle and nothing. Sellers do not provide feedback on the official website; it is impossible to leave a review, because... The moderator filters the information.

Nikolai
Today I observed the effect after treating with Suprotec. The waste oil contains black metal sludge. The filter is black. So, I just sanded down the new engine with my own hands. Probably brought the new car to a mileage of 1 million km, and the timing chain most likely sagged.

I read the comments to the review. And I’m surprised how many deer there are in our country. Maybe my comment will help someone. I drive a Mazda CX7. The car is super, but the engine is capricious, high consumption, expensive spare parts. So I decided to upload this canoe under the name SUPRATEK. I found the phone number on the suprateka website. representative, went to change the oil of. The dealer brought his crap directly to the service center. I took 4 bottles, 2 in the engine, 2 in the box. because it must be processed at least 3 times. But since the price is not low, plus an oil change, I decided to save money. In short, at first I didn’t feel any difference, but then it started and the consumption increased. It grew up to 30 liters in the city. The dynamics disappeared, an error appeared. I fought for a very long time, of. The Mazda dealer couldn't find anything. He just reset the error and offered repairs for 100-150 thousand. But due to the global crisis I had to refuse. So the error continued to appear and then disappear. I would have sold the car to some lucky person, but luck came, a miracle diagnostician appeared in the service. Having told him the signs, he immediately diagnosed it - a phase regulator - or rather a mesh filter through which oil is supplied to this miracle sensor. They removed the valve cover and there it was, this mesh, although it didn’t look like a mesh, just a hollow cylinder, since it was not transparent to light. We washed it, reassembled it, the car came back to life, and I did the same with the box. Replaced the filter in the box. Now the consumption is 15 liters in the city, the dynamics are back. Draw your own conclusions whether to pour this crap on you or not. I changed the oil every 5-7 thousand, MOTUL oil. (correction for those who want to write, you need to change the oil more often and add good oil). Think about what kind of miracle is the powder at the bottom that you stir. Which clogs the mesh and filter into trash. My guess is ordinary graphite. Draw conclusions.

Pros: No
Disadvantages: Very spoils the new engine
I was stupid to use Suprotec. I stupidly tore off a layer of polished metal from the new engine, black oil with metal sludge, and a black filter. That is, the engine has severely worn out, most likely the timing chain has become slack and weakened. The Germans or Japanese made a good car, use Vanka, but our fool still found a way to ruin it. A tight gap between the piston and cylinder is necessary for better compression. Naturally, without oil, such an engine will seize. But you can open up this gap, let the sand leak at the bottom of the jar, and then the engine will run without oil, without a sump, forever, on the stand. These to... for their three kopecks of benefit, they cause damage worth a million, in other people's cars. In a worn-out engine, the supertek probably actually retains metal sludge soaked in oil in these gaps, so compression is restored, but still not for long.

Suprotec is an excellent tool for scamming suckers. No more. I haven’t met a single minder with experience and reputation who would say “yes, this is a worthwhile thing”)) Ordinary slurry - it does nothing, just like dietary supplements in medicine. Just bring the money, fill it in, and hope. But seriously, change the oil more often, and no additives are needed. They are all contained in oil. Or do you seriously believe that the guys from Suprotec are geniuses.

Why do you buy this shit, much less pour it into the engine? thanks to people like you, the inventors of these poops are raising millions... observe the replacement intervals (depending on operating conditions), or better yet, change them a little earlier and you will be happy.

I didn’t understand, I processed it according to the recommendation 2 times (2 bottles each). There are no external signs of improvement. Fuel consumption also remained unchanged.
How it works
The Suprotek additive for manual transmissions begins to act immediately after entering the working body along with the main lubricant. Here the formation of the optimization layer begins, which takes place in three stages:
- Preparation of working edges - a fine abrasive substance eliminates defects at the points of contact of friction pairs.
- Creation of a protective layer - due to the wear products of parts contained in the oil, layer by layer, a new crystalline structure is formed, which penetrates and adheres to the material of the mechanism.
- Dynamic regulation – maintaining optimal parameters of the protective layer for optimal operation of manual transmission components.
Upon completion of the third stage, wear of the contacting surfaces stops, since the Suprotek additive for manual transmissions shifts the operating mode of friction forces to the region of hydrodynamic interaction. The so-called “oil wedge” effect is achieved.
UNTIL THE FIRST KNOCK
The kilometers prescribed for treatment have been completed - let's proceed to the first part of the experiment: can a car drive without oil? If so, for how long and how much will the miraculous additive help him with this? Before draining the oil, we warm up the engines to operating temperature, check the pressure, compression - everything, as befits new cars, is ideal: oil - 4 kgf/cm2 at 3000 rpm, compression - 13 kgf/cm2.
As soon as the last drop flows out of the pan of the control (untreated) “five”, we start the engine for a minute in order to maintain the purity of the experiment. Now it's dry and in the oil filter. We wait until the residue drains from the walls of the block, screw in the cap and repeat the ritual with the second machine.
We get out of the city with extreme caution, the speed is 50-60 km/h, at traffic lights we turn off the engines just in case - it is unknown how long they will last. Half an hour later, our caravan - two doomed "fives" and a "Volga" - an emergency towing vehicle sets its course. The final point on the Novo-Rizhskoye Highway has not yet been determined, we are driving “until first blood” - that is, until one of the engines starts knocking, and then everything depends on how soon this happens. The manufacturer of the additive claimed: if you drive “economically”, without spinning the engine more than 2000 rpm and without particularly loading it, it will last to St. Petersburg and back. Fresh legend! First, we should cover at least ten kilometers...
1:0 IN FAVOR OF THE ADDITIVE
The experimental “five” returned to the garage already after dark, but most importantly, under their own power! The next morning we begin a thorough inspection of the engines. As expected, the connecting rod bearings of the second cylinder of the control motor were rolled into foil and squeezed out of bed. The lower head turned blue, and when I tried to remove its cover, both bolts broke. The connecting rod journal is raised so that the shaft is ready for replacement. Well, the result of oil starvation is natural. By the way, the engine escaped with little damage - the main liners, cylinder-piston group and camshaft were not damaged.
How did the treated engine cope with the “diet”? We fill it with oil, start it up and it works as if nothing had happened. We measure compression and oil pressure - the results are no different from those obtained before the trip. We remove the pan, open the main and connecting rod bearings - there are no signs of wear on either the liners or the shaft journals. And behind 150 kilometers without oil! It’s good that before the experiment I didn’t vow out loud to eat the galoshes...
Features of manual transmission additives
SUPROTEC additives for manual transmissions extend the service life of spare parts, so it is recommended to add the composition to base lubricants. Advantages of using Suprotec:
- The additive promotes the formation of an anti-friction protective layer (thickness is 15 microns), which leads to the restoration of the upper part of the part damaged as a result of friction of the parts.
- Suprotek makes the consistency of oils thicker, resulting in a reduced likelihood of defects forming.
- Suprotec for the box is a neutral chemical substance; reactions and interactions with other chemicals are excluded.
Optimization of manual transmission operation
The active effect of additives has been proven in laboratory tests. But what is much more important is what reviews of real people say about Suprotek additives for manual transmissions. Most drivers, after using the composition, notice a significant improvement in gearbox performance, which consists of:
- to facilitate gear shifting;
- in reducing noise and vibrations;
- in increasing the vehicle's speed in neutral gear.
All this suggests that these additives are not just a “promoted brand”, but a proven tool for optimizing car performance by car enthusiasts. Some drivers also noticed an acceleration in the process of grinding in the main components after a major overhaul of the manual transmission.
