Whether it's Ceratec, Injection Cleaner, Radiator Stop Leak, or Engine Flush, LIQUI MOLY has an extremely extensive line of additives that may or may not suit your car. Whether it's the application, fitment, how to use it, when to use it, or even what the fluid looks like within the bottle, Steffen Niemietz from LIQUI MOLY is here to answer all those questions and more.

LIQUI MOLY Engine Flush

Engine Flush is a highly concentrated engine cleaner that gets added directly before your oil change. After adding it to a car that is up to operating temperature, simply idle your car for ten minutes and complete your oil change as usual.

LIQUI MOLY Gasoline System Cleaner

Gasoline System Cleaner is as the name implies and should be used once a year. It helps to clean gasoline deposits left in your fuel system, including your fuel injectors.

LIQUI MOLY Diesel System Cleaner

Diesel System Cleaner is, again, as the name implies. Once a year, add this to the fuel tank of your diesel vehicle and it will remove deposits from the fueling system.

LIQUI MOLY Jectron

Jectron is a regular maintenance product for cleaning your fuel injectors that gets added to your fuel system every third or fourth refueling. This is a cleaner, a corrosion inhibitor, a lubricity multiplier, and it builds up a protective layer on the backside of your intake valves.

LIQUI MOLY Super Diesel Additive

Super Diesel Additive has the exact same properties as Jectron, but is intended for diesel-fueled vehicles. One added benefit is that this increases the cetane value of the diesel, causing it to burn cleaner.

LIQUI MOLY Valve Clean

Valve Clean is to clean the carbon deposits from the backside of the intake valves on non-direct-injected vehicles. It should not be used on direct-injected vehicles.

LIQUI MOLY Speed Tec Gasoline

Speed Tec for gasoline does not increase the octane value of fuel like is commonly assumed. Instead, Speed Tec optimizes the atomization of the gasoline, increasing throttle response. Another added side-effect is that it helps keep the combustion chambers clean.

LIQUI MOLY Cera Tec

Ceratec is an oil additive that uses both a chemical anti-friction agent as well as ceramic to reduce the friction inside your engine. LIQUI MOLY MoS2 MoS2 is the first product that LIQUI MOLY produced and is an anti-friction agent that is added to your engine oil. This works without using a chemical agent and is suited for use in older engines. LIQUI MOLY Motor Oil Saver Motor Oil Saver simply rejuvenates hardened rubber seals in your engine that are causing oil leaks. It does this by swelling your seals back to the size and shape that they were before they hardened.

LIQUI MOLY Viscoplus for Oil

Viscoplus optimizes oil consumption in older engines. This should be used as a "top up" product when your engine oil level is slightly low. LIQUI MOLY Hydraulic Lifter Additive Hydraulic Lifter Additive helps quiet noisy lifters by causing the oil to stay in the hydraulic lifter chambers just slightly longer. This should be used on higher mileage engines and, again, as a "top up" product.

LIQUI MOLY Radiator Cleaner

Radiator Cleaner is similar to Engine Flush, as you add this just before flushing your cooling system. This helps liquefy the deposits in the cooling system. Simply add it to the system, let your car idle for thirty minutes with your heat on maximum, and then perform your cooling system flush.

LIQUI MOLY Radiator Stop Leak

Radiator Stop Leak, unlike what most people think, doesn't actually harden. It works with pressure differences of inside the radiator and outside to seal up small leaks.
