The solution to Automotive Air Pollution: This smokeless synthetic oil for diesel engine is consumer-tested and proven to stop oil-related smoking, reduces pollution emissions, and extends the life of worn engines, enhancing the value of your car. Our anti-smoke oil is an excellent engine revitalizer for used car sellers, owners, and buyers alike.

Instructions to Use: Drain old oil out, change the oil filter, and fill up with our smokeless synthetic racing oil. Results should be almost immediate. Let the car run for about 15 minutes if it is still smoking. After 15 minutes your car should stop smoking as long as you use this oil without additives or mixing.

ENHANCED DRIVABILITY: Maximal polar adherence of the oil film for rapid engine RPM response.

EASY START: Fast oil pressure build-up and optimal oil flow.

REDUCED OIL CONSUMPTION: Low oil volatility and evaporation helps to control oil consumption.

PREMIUM DETERGENCY: High detergency performance allows better engine cleanliness.

SMOOTH ENGINE: Lower friction level brings engine noise reduction in all driving modes.

TYPES OF USE : Circuit, Drag race, Drift, Endurance, GT, Hill climb, Historic racing, Rally, Rally cross, Track days, and Tuning.

REDUCED CARBON FOOTPRINT: Organic base using non-fossil renewable materials limits environmental impact lowering our carbon footprint by 25%.

Enjoy Longer Intervals: Upgrade to synthetic oil for diesel engine and enjoy longer oil change intervals of up to 10,000 miles. Save time and money while giving your engine superior protection against wear and tear. Choose our smoke-free oil for peace of mind and hassle-free maintenance.

How It Works: Our synthetic racing oil stands out from other motor oils. While many so-called full synthetic oils are actually based on petroleum, our anti-smoke oil is designed to burn clean without smoke or harmful emissions. It's not magic, it's just chemistry that makes SuperGreen SmokeLess Oil work.
