Lube oil contamination accounts for 70 to 80% of all engine failures and wear problems. The wear process promoted by oil contamination leads to diminished fuel efficiency, shorter useful oil and oil filter service life, reduced component life, loss of engine performance, increased engine downtime, overall an increase in operating costs.

Contaminant particles responsible for this damage are in the size range of the dynamic lubricant films separating moving engine component surfaces, 2 to 10 microns. These particles pass through the oil filter and continue to build up in the oil system perpetuating a chain-reaction-of-wear.

Magna-Guard removes a majority of all contaminant particles down to 0.5 microns, well below the oil film separating moving engine components. This virtually eliminates engine wear; increases engine efficiency, and more than doubles useful oil filter and oil service life.
