AW10 Antiwear - 5 Litre Reviews

AW10 Antiwear is an oil additive for engines, transmissions, diffs, power steering and hydraulics. It boosts the oil’s load-carrying ability, so it cuts friction, wear, heat and noise — smoothing notchy manual gear changes and quietening rattles and whines. Dose at 2% in engine oil, 5% in transmissions and diffs, 1% in hydraulics and automatics. Not suitable for wet clutches or some limited-slip diffs. Friction quietly costs you power and parts. Up to 25% of an engine’s horsepower is lost to internal friction before it reaches the flywheel, and driveline friction takes more. The AW10 Antiwear oil additive attacks that loss directly. Because it strengthens the oil film between mating surfaces, metal stops touching metal. The results are measurable. In Falex testing on three oils, load-carrying ability rose by 46% to 470% before seizure, bearing temperature fell by 69°C, and drive torque dropped by 34–44%. As a result, engines rev more freely, gearboxes shift sweetly, and everything runs cooler. It also protects. The AW10 Antiwear oil additive passed the ASTM D665 rust test at just 0.5% in oils that failed untreated — so it suits 4x4s doing creek crossings, winches, and machinery caught by floods. In addition, it pairs with Flushing Oil Concentrate: flush the sludge out first, then add AW10 to the fresh oil. Use it when you notice: Stiff or notchy manual gear changes Engine or gear rattles, diff whine, lifter noise Hot-running gearboxes or automatics when towing Squealing power steering or hard-worked hydraulics Dosing is simple: 2% in engine oil, 5% in gearboxes and diffs, 1% in hydraulics. Choose the AW10 Antiwear oil additive to protect drivelines, delay rebuilds and keep everything running smoother for longer. Transmissions, diffs, final drives Well loved and respected bush mechanic, “Roothy”, who writes for 4WDAction, Caravan and Motorhome, and Live to Ride, had this to say about AW10 Antiwear: “This stuff is the greatest. It has to be the slipperiest thing this side of a banana peel on a boat ramp. Bugger me! Old Milo (Landcruiser Troopcarrier) is shifting gears a lot sweeter since that injection of AW 10. I felt the slicker change almost immediately. But the ultimate test was chucking a cap full in the two-stroke fuel in Mungo's ancient 25HP Mercury outboard. The bloody thing ran smoother and rattled less almost straight away.” Manual gearshifts become much smoother, reducing notchiness, rattles, bearing whine, etc. Cooler running results from keeping mating surfaces separated by a powerful oil film. Suitable for all manual gearboxes, transfer cases, final drives. Especially recommended for Caterpillar D9 final drives. AW10 is not suitable for wet clutches and some limited slip diffs. Massive increases in load carrying, wear reduction and friction reduction AW10 Antiwear is THE real life FIX for stiff or notchy gear shifts so common in manual transmissions! Want silky smooth gear changes? Try AW10 Antiwear! Cut internal friction, and you minimise component stresses...so things last much longer. Cuts noise Stops rattles Improves performance Reduces wear Cooler operation Reduces friction Savings history: has avoided or postponed many gearbox and diff rebuilds from $2,000 to $12,000. AW10 Antiwear Need to delay rebuilding gearboxes, diffs, engines, etc? Stiff, notchy gear shifts Engine/gear rattles, diff whines? Pre-trip preparation — de-stress engines, gearboxes, diffs, power steering, etc Want to optimise power & performance? AW10 Antiwear is formulated to deliver massive increases in lubricant load carrying ability, wear reduction and friction (& heat) reduction. Cut internal friction, and you minimise component stresses...so things last much longer. Falex test Controlled engineering type tests (to ASTM and other procedures) on 3 different oils confirmed AW10’s ability to increase load carrying ability between 46% and 470%, before seizure occurred on the test rig. The test rig bearing temperature was reduced by 69°C under stable load conditions. The torque required to drive the test rig was reduced by between 34% and 44% on two engine oils, indicating reduced machine frictional losses and efficiency potential.
