Test Results for SMT Product SMT2
Advanced Anti-friction Lubricant
SMT2™ has been subjected to significant testing in many countries.
Including USA, Australia and Russia and all demonstrated outstanding performance.
Average wear reduction of 97%.
According to tribological tests with four-balls friction machine (ASTM-D-4172), blending 5% SMT2 ™ into a synthetic motor oil resulted in the reduction of wear on average 97%.
Increased weld load by 25%Increased critical load by 50%Increased scuffing index by 50%Decreased wear area diameter by 17%
According to test report #14-K/02 of 18.02.2002 from the Gubkin Russian State University petroleum and gas testing laboratory, a test by standard four-balls method (GOST 9490-75)it was observed that blending 5% SMT2™ into the Lukoil Standard SAE 10W-40 API SF/CC mineral oil.
Reduced average friction coefficient by 13%
Reduced lineal wear by 18%
According to test report #18-03 of 4.03.2002 of Bauman Moscow State Technical University (Research centre “Tribotechnica”), a test by Stribeck curve method demonstrated that the presence of 5% SMT2™ mixed into SAE 10W-40 API SF/CC mineral motor oil reduced:

What people say…
When I opened my Gearbox there was NO Burnt Oil or Blacked Components.
As you recall I purchased 20 litres of SMT2 in December 2010 for use in both my trucks and my dragster. The dragster was burning the push rod ends off due to extreme pressure and heat, however with the
introduction of SMT2 at 10% that ceased to occur.
Also, we inspected the gearbox which previously relied on oil and another anti-friction metal conditioner called Roil. When we ran with the same oil and SMT2 at 10% the results were amazing. On splitting the box, we
expected to see the previous burnt oil and blackened components, much to our amazement the SMT2 had totally protected the unit and no blackening existed at all.
For us this shows that SMT2 Synthetic Anti-friction Metal Treatment is superior to any product we have used over our many years of racing.
Thanks and regards,
CAT Challenger’s Final Drive brings RPM down to 14ppm with SMT2 added to Gear Oil.
These tractors have 500HP engines and due to the HP being upgraded found that the final drives were wearing out and the subsequent repair bill was AU$48.000. the company that leases them out was looking for a way to slow down or eliminate the wear pattern. By invitation, companies that supply both Lucas and Roil Platinum were invited to donate their products for trial to see if they could help lower the repair bill.
Due to my association with Tony Buckley who went to school with to Lyle Bartley, my name came up in the discussion and next thing I knew, Lyle was on the phone asking me to donate 20 litres of SMT2 as the third option.
I drove out of the Sunshine Coast to Moree and met Lyle in the late afternoon giving him a 20 litre of SMT2 and filling him in on the products features, also asking him to give me oil samples from the final drives. (Two).
After they had conducted the trials it was found that PPM Parts Per Million) were very low thanks to SMT2.
US Tests Showed – “Buses achieved an 8% Fuel Savings. While all friction parameters resulted on average, were improved by 17%.”
“In a city bus operation, ten buses were tested over a 15,000 mile maintenance interval using industry standard fluids in the motor and SMT2 at proper dilution ratios, and a wear metal analysis was performed. This showed a minimum of 60% reduction of we-metals, and a fuel saving of 8% was achieved with these buses”.
Furthermore, the proof of the superior anti-frictional properties of SMT2 was demonstrated during tests utilising the BAUMAN Moscow State Technical University’s unique piston Tribometer. The piston Tribometer simulates operational conditions in real piston / bore machines and measures the following parameters: Friction Force, Friction Co-efficient, and Loss of Power due to friction.
We can supply an illustration of the computer monitor screen readings of this test, which compares pure motor oil and pure motor oil plus SMT2. All the friction parameters resulted on average, were improved by 17%.”
Cutting the log in half the time with SMT2 The SAW Additive.
A Grafton chainsaw operator Woody reported that the addition of 2 ½ % SMT2 into the Chain & Bar oil caused him to cut a 1 metre diameter log (been in the paddock for 15 years) 45% faster.
Woody resharpened his heavy duty chainsaw and went down the paddock to cut a 1 meter log that had been there for years.
Using his preferred Chain& Bar Oil, it took 4 minutes and 5 seconds to free-fall through the log.
Smoke was issuing from the cut during the last 20%. Woody took the chainsaw to the shed and resharpened it.
He came back and added approximately 2 1/2% to the chain & bar oil reservoir and put a squirt on the chain.
He allowed the chainsaw to free-fall through the log as before. On this occasion it took 2 minutes and 20 seconds and not at any time did smoke issue from the cut. On inspection, we could see that the ragged cut, using oil only, and the smooth surface when we used SMT2.
SMT2 can help chain saw operators reduce the frequency of buying chains and bars, not to mention the huge savings in time and fuel.
