Put an end to rattling: additives for hydraulic valve lifters!

If the outside temperature is low or if the vehicle is parked for a longer period of time, it may happen that the engine starts begins to rattle. This can be due to the fact that the oil supply is disturbed by residues on the hydraulic valve lifters, which means that proper lubrication is no longer guaranteed. There is also a rattle or rattle from wear and tear on the valves or the use of incorrect or too old engine oil favored. In such a case, the use of additives can be recommended as a preventive measure or to solve problems. Since the hydraulic valve lifters and valves are responsible for the supply and discharge of the combustion air and the exhaust gases, their limited function also has a negative impact on the performance and efficiency of the engine.

Application: Additive for hydraulic valve lifters

Depending on the amount of engine oil present, the additive is portioned and added to it. When it comes to the ratio of engine oil to additives, it is essential on the manufacturer's information to pay attention to. What does the additive do? The additive dissolves deposits in the oil circuit and cleans this. These deposits remain in the oil filter after the oil has circulated and they will be removed with the next filter change. During the next cold start, the difference can usually be heard clearly. The rattling is greatly reduced by the additives. The oil supply is running properly again and the valves are working cleanly. It is advisable to add such an additive at regular intervals, e.g. when changing the oil, as this can extend the life expectancy of the engine and the valves. The resale value of the car also remains higher with intact hydraulic valve lifters. If you calculate the price of new hydraulic valve lifters, which can easily be several hundred euros including installation, you can save a lot of money with the addition of additives. The addition will also result in less wear on the tappets and valves.

Guarantee is retained

The use of additives is due to the manufacturer tests and approvals carried out for almost all engines are suitable and usually affect not the guarantee of the engine. In principle, it hardly matters which manufacturer the product is bought from. It is only necessary to ensure that by filling the engine, the Maximum fill level is not exceeded, as this can lead to engine or catalytic converter problems. The price of the additives is low, but it can affect the preservation of the vehicle's value. The use of additives can be useful, especially with tuned engines, as they place increased demands on the hydraulic valve lifters and valves due to the high performance. This affects the service life of the motors.
