Recently completed third party testing of the new formula, utilizing ASTM D4828 Standard Test methodology, demonstrated that Hot Shots Secret Stiction. Stiction buildup often results in hard starts, rough idling, black smoke, failed injectors and turbos, reduced power and fuel efficiency. The term “stiction” describes the gummy, sticky residue of caked-on oil varnish buildup that occurs on diesel injectors, bearings, turbos and engine components.
