ADEKA Additives Reduce Friction and Wear

"The ADEKA SAKURA-LUBE series" of lubricants was originally developed by ADEKA Corporation using organic molybdenum compounds. By adding "ADEKA SAKURA-LUBE", the friction coefficient of engine oil is significantly reduced. It also contains anti-wear and anti-oxidation properties. Closer attention has been placed on friction reducing properties that reduce energy loss and minimize CO2 emissions. Because of its ability to improve fuel efficiency, "ADEKA SAKURA-LUBE" is used as a friction modifier in a wide range of engine oils and grease, especially in the automotive industry. The graph below illustrates ADEKA SAKURA-LUBE's effect on engine oil. ADEKA proudly claims that this additive significantly improves fuel consumption.
