How To Keep Your Truck’s Engine Running Strong

Those of us who drive pickup trucks expect quite a bit from our trucks’ engines. As we put them to work, whether that’s on the job, around the farm, or just doing truck stuff, there are things that can go wrong in a hurry. Towing, pulling, carrying a bed full of stuff - all of which can tax the engine’s ability to perform.

To add to the stress, many of us add a few modifications here and there to give the motor a little boost. It could be a simple exhaust system, air intake, or control module, or it could mean adding a turbo or supercharger to really pump up the ponies. What can you do to protect your engine? Don’t worry, there are some easy steps you can take to add a serious level of protection to your engine’s moving parts and keep it running strong.

Diesel Engines

Most of us who drive a diesel truck will put it to work. We ask a lot from them and, in return, tend to pile on more abuse. LIQUI MOLY has a couple of diesel products that will help you ensure your engine stays strong and pumping out the performance you need from it.

Want your engine performing at its peak? Try LIQUI MOLY Diesel Performance and Protectant mixed in with your fuel at least every 1,200 miles. It is a highly effective formula of additives designed to clean and maintain diesel fuel systems. It helps prevent corrosion and works to increase the lubrication of your engine’s moving parts. That can have a great impact on your fuel pump and injectors, cutting down on wear and tear that can lead to a costly breakdown.

LIQUI MOLY Diesel Performance and Protectant also increases your cetane value for improved engine performance, lower emissions, and easier starting. It can be used in all diesel engines, with or without turbochargers. It is safe for catalytic converters and particulate filters (DPF) and can be used with HVO / XTL diesel fuel.

Truck Series Complete Diesel System Cleaner is a special blend of specific additives that work to rapidly remove performance-diminishing deposits that can build up in the fuel system in all kinds of diesel engines. This product was developed specifically to clean your injectors and the engine’s combustion chamber. Additionally, it will restore the proper fuel atomization for better engine efficiency, giving you better mileage and power from your diesel engine.

Simply add Complete Diesel System Cleaner to your fuel at fill-up. It is safe for all diesel motors, turbo or non-turbo equipped, and is safe for catalytic converters and filters. Use as preventative or to cure acute engine problems.

Gas Engines

Gas-driven engines are very common in trucks, especially in the mid-size and half-ton range of pickups. That doesn’t mean they are under any less stress when it comes to performance. In fact, it is quite the opposite. The LIQUI MOLY team has your back, however, and will help keep your truck on the road, or off the road if that is how you drive.

LIQUI MOLY Gasoline System Cleaner cleans and maintains your fuel system for your port-injected and carbureted gasoline engines. It uses an effective mixture of additives to clean and maintain the fuel system of port injected and carbureted gasoline engines. It protects against corrosion, restores proper fuel atomization and improves engine efficiency, something we can all get behind.  

Suitable for use in all 4-stroke gasoline engines, with or without turbochargers. Safe for use with catalytic converters and particulate filters (GPF). For a lasting effect it is recommended to use at least every 1,200 miles.

And of course, you can’t overlook your engine oil. LIQUI MOLY Oil Treatment added to your engine oil helps by immediately reducing friction and wear. It adds a highly protective and pressure-resistant boundary layer of lubricating material with very low friction, so your engine performs better. Especially important to those who live in colder climates, this product also helps lubricate the engine during cold starts to prevent damage that can occur when the engine oil has settled back into the oil pan.

The Oil Treatment also helps lower fuel consumption. It gives your motor a longer engine life and less noise by cutting down the friction. LIQUI MOLY designed this product especially with older engine designs in mind (with or without a turbocharger) to give them a longer lifespan. As you would expect, regular use keeps the engine running better, longer.
