Nulon Pro-Strength Brakeclean (BRAKE400) will clean all brake system components safely, without the need for dismantling. Spray components with Nulon Brake Clean and allow to air dry or wipe with a rag.
Start Ya Bastard Instant Engine Starter (SYB) will help all engines, both diesel and petrol, start on those very cold winter mornings. One short spray into the intake is all it takes to start stubborn engines.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (Telfon) is an inert substance with an extremely low co-efficient of friction that has been used for many years as a friction and wear reducing additive.
Nulon engine treatments can be used in used in four stroke boat and four stroke motorbike engines but at appropriate dosage rates (see labels for details)
Nulon anti-wear Engine Treatments based on PTFE can be added to engine oil at any time but are best added to new engine oil after an oil change. Please follow directions of use for the Nulon Engine Treatment products to ensure your engine receives the best possible protection from wear and friction.
Engine Oil Flush (EOF) or Pro-Strength Extreme Oil Flushshould be added to your engine oil just prior to changing your engine oil and directions of use on the rear of the bottle must be followed. The vehicle must not be driven when Engine Oil Flush is in the engine.
No, all engine treatment products should only be used as per dosage recommendations as per directions. We would also recommend to not use more than one additive in an engine at one time.
White exhaust smoke on morning start-up is generally caused by leaking valve stem seals. Engine Stop Leak (ESL) would be the best product to use to reduce this smoke.
Nulon Engine Stop Leak (ESL) is an additive that can rejuvenate elastomer type engine seals that have hardened or shrunk. "rear main" and "timing cover" seals are typical areas for external oil leaks.
When an engine uses oil and blows blue smoke constantly, it indicates excessive piston or ring wear. Stop Smoke (SS) can reduce the amount of oil that passes worn rings and causes exhaust smoke.
Running a very thick oil can sometimes cause issues in modern engines. An area that is often overlooked when oil comsumption is a problem is hardened valve stem seals. Oil will bypass hardened seals and allow oil into the combustion chamber via the valve stems. Consumption as high as one litre per thousand kms can be caused by valve stem seal leakage. Nulon Engine Stop Leak (ESL) can rejuvenate hardened valve stem seals and should be used before moving to a thicker engine oil.
Most modern engine use hydraulic valve lifters which can cause tapping noise on start-up if they are sticking or have blocked oil passageways. Nulon Lifter-Free and Tune-Up (LFTU) can remove carbon and oil sludge deposits when added to your engine oil.
Most Nulon engine additives will dilute with fuel, it is suggested to fill tank ASAP to dilute the product. Stop Smoke (SS) may block fuel pump pick-ups, if this product is accidently added to the fuel tank we suggest draining the fuel tank.
No, Nulon do not produce an applicator kit. Applicator kits are produced by a number of manufacturers and are available through most aftermarket spare parts outlets.
It is suitable for indirect injection engines (conventional) and direct injection diesels (common rail). Nulon recommend Diesel Injector Cleaner (DIC) at higher dose rate for direct injection engines
Pinging can be caused by poor fuel quality or carbon build-up in engine combustion chambers. Nulon Octane Boost and Clean (OBC) can address both these problems with one treatment.
Lead Substitute Valve Saver (LS) makes unleaded petrol suitable for use in older cars which were designed to operate on leaded petrol. It is also suitable for valve protection of LPG powered engines when added via under-bonnet lubricator kits.
Yes, Nulon Diesel Injector Cleaner (DIC) is safe to use on vehicles that have Diesel Particulate Filters. It is also suitable for diesel engines that utilise exhaust catalysts and supplement treatment systems.
It will dilute the engine oil, effecting its viscosity and ability to protect vital components. We recommend replacing engine oil and filter before driving.
By cleaning fuel system deposits Nulon fuel treatments can restore fuel economy that has been lost due to fuel system deterioration. Nulon octane boosters can improve fuel quality which can lead to increased fuel economy.
Engine, gearbox, and transmission oils are blended from base oils. These base oils are categorised into Groups by the API Base Oil Classification system. If the automotive field Group III and Group IV base oils are marketed as synthetic.
Most diesel engine oils carry a higher specification rating than petrol engine oils and vehicle manufacturers often specify a diesel engine oil be used in a petrol motor. This does not work in the reverse, petrol only engine oils cannot be used in diesels. Some engine oils carry both petrol and diesel specifications.
No. Nulon Full Synthetic Multi Vehicle Automatic Transmission Fluid (SYNATF) covers a large number of vehicle applications but there are some vehicles which cannot use this fluid. Consult your owners manual for fluid requirements and cross reference this with SYNATF specifications which can be found at www.nulon.com.au

Follow the vehicle manufacturers guidelines. Use an oil that meets there required specification and follow the vehicle manufacturer recommendation on oil change intervals. The interval can vary depending on driving and climate conditions.
No, the API GL5 rating does not supercede or cover the GL4 rating. It is important to follow the gearbox or diff manufacturers recommendations and use the correct GL rating.
Synthetic base oils have a number of advantages over mineral base oils. The uniformity of the synthetic oil molecules improves the thermal stability and reduces oxidation of the oil. Controlled molecular structure also results in lower volatility and a more stable vicosity over the life of the oil.
All engine oils contain detergent and dispersant additives which remove contaminant build-up inside your engine. When new oil is added to an engine these additives strip away build-up and hold the contaminant in suspension so it can be removed when the oil is drained, this does discolour the oil.
Low SAPS oils contain low levels of sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulfur. These oils are often recommended for diesel engines that incorporate exhaust emission control devices (DPF, TWC).
There are a number of important performance characteristics AN have over other base oils and these include:
Increased thermal and oxidative stability
Increased hydrolytic stability. AN does not attract water like ester based oils making it ideal for vehicles running E85 or other high performance fuels.
Excellent additive solvency.
Excellent seal compatibility.
AN is less polar versus ester, therefore will not compete with additive for metal surface attention.
All engine lubricants start life as a base oil and fall into either Group I, II, III, IV or V base oils. Group I and II base stocks are typically ‘less refined’ and form the basis of Mineral or semi synthetic base oils.
Group III base oils are widely considered to be synthetic while group IV an group V base oils are 100% fully synthetic and offer the highest level of lubricant protection and performance. Nulon Racing oil is blended using group IV and group V base oils.
SAE is the Society Of Automotive Engineers (USA). The SAE rating of an oil is a measure of its viscosity (eg 20W50).
API is the American Petroleum Institute. The API rating of an engine oil covers the performance rating of the oil (e.g. SM for petrol, CF for diesel).
ACEA is a European industry body up of European vehicle manufacturers. The ACEA rating of an engine oil of covers the performance rating of the oil (e.g. A3/B3, C3).
A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is an emmission control device fitted to the exhaust stream of some modern diesel engines. It traps any soot that is present in the exhaust gases. All engines allow some amount of engine oil into the combustion chamber through cylinder lubrication, breathers etc. This oil is burnt and enters the exhaust stream. It is important to use oils with the correct levels of additive to prevent blockage of the DPF. Lows SAPS oils are generally recommended for DPF fitted vehicles. Consult your vehicle handbook or the Nulon Lube Guide for correct oil selection.
A hypoid gear oil is a lubricant that is designed to operate effectively with hypoid gear designs. Most gearboxes and differentials use hypoid gear designs and the lubricant must contain EP (extreme pressure) additives to prevent wear between the sliding surfaces of a hypoid gear mesh.
AN (Alkylated Naphthalene) is a 100% synthetic base oil stock well suited for lubricants in a variety of automotive and industrial applications. AN is particularly suited for use as a base stock in synthetic lubricant applications that require high stability under extreme operating conditions.
Nulon engine oils contain Moly DTC. This unique, state of the art, engine oil additive offers huge reductions in friction to provide improved fuel economy and provide optimum wear protection.
Poly Alpha Olefin or PAO is a 100% synthetic base oil stock used in the production of high performance lubricants. PAO’s typically have a higher viscosity index than mineral oils and better oxidative stability- i.e.they are less likely to breakdown.
Nulon hydraulic fluids do carry similar performance specifications but do vary in viscosity. ISO32, ISO46, and ISO68 are a measure of the fluids viscosity, the higher the number the thicker the fluid. Consult your machinery handbook to determine the viscosity recommendations of the equipment manufacturer.
Contact your local waste facilities or environmental protection agency. Used coolants can contain environmentally unfriendly materials that have originated from the engine cooling system and need appropriate disposal. Do not drain used coolant onto the ground or into storm water.
The main drive behind the use of thinner engine oils is fuel efficiency. The thinner the oil the less drag on internal components and also results in reduced energy loss caused by the oil pump etc.
