The DiOLIO is the super synthetic oil which acts as friction reducer (Patented), to be mixed to the engine oil at 10%~16%; in synergy with the basic oil of the internal combustion engines, such as diesel and/or gasoline, it allows to reduce the fuel consumptions up to 10% and under particular conditions even more than this amount (see: full package). It isn’t an additive but a pure polymeric super-lubricant and it is sold in 1~5 litre tanks.
For your information we specify that the additives used for lubrication improvement usually have a thermal stability below that of basic oils.
Other specifications including the price/litre, are found at the end of the article.
Introduction to the lubrication:
The wear is the major cause of material wastage of mechanical performances; any reduction in wear can result in considerable savings.
The friction is a principal cause of wear and energy dissipation. Lubrication is an effective means of controlling wear and  reduce friction. Film formation might be the fundamental mechanism, preventing the extremely high shear rates at  the interface between two rigid sliding objects.
The consequence of film failure is a severe wear.
The function of a lubricant is to control the friction and the engine wear engine while that of DiOLIO, conveyed by basic oil, is to be firmly applied between the sliding parts and to reduce the friction with its own thin film.
So, at first glance, it appears that the more viscous oils  would give better performances, since the generated films would be thicker and a better separation of the two surfaces in contact would be achieved; this unfortunately is not always the case since more viscous oils require more power to be sheared.
Which is the best equilibrium in choosing the type and the ideal viscosity of the oil to be used in ones own engine?
The basic concepts bound together for the choice are:
è tension surface (fluency),
è viscosity stability,
èhigh wetting to the surfaces.
What is the solution to a hot engine? Improve the viscosity is clear, but attention to the counter-indications! Usually the viscosity of a  fluid is inversely proportional to its temperature, therefore in the absence of suitable additives, a lubricant has a low viscosity when hot and high when cold. The viscosity of lubricanting oils is extremely sensitive to the operating temperature. With increasing temperature the viscosity of oils fall quite rapidly. In some cases the viscosity of oil can fall by about 80% with a temperature increase of 25° C. One of the most important characteristics of the lubricants is its own viscosity index, as it represents the variation that the same undergoes with the temperature; one therefore has the tendency to purchase a multi-grade oil which has a greater viscosity with heat, as the engine works in the majority of its time at the operating temperature. In any case, the drop in viscosity can be significant, and with some viscosity improvers even a permanent viscosity loss at high shear rates may occur due to the breaking up of molecules into smaller units. The viscosity loss affects the thickness of the lubricating film and subsequently affects the performance of the machine.
The viscosity of the DiOLIO is stable in a vast range of temperatures, has excellent thermal and oxidation stability, therefore, is the solution to reduce the friction, reinforcing with its own contribution, the weakness of many oils at high and low temperatures;  the DiOLIO has a minimum variation of its own viscosity index and having oxidation stability, this friction reducer therefore has a greater field of use.
Note: the thermal stability is the resistance of the lubricant to molecular breakdown or molecular rearrangement at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen. Thus the maximum temperature at which an oil can be used is determined by its oxidation stability.
The DiOLIO  solves the problem of the friction with a cool engine, as it has two special characteristics:
 èlow tension surface, and  èhigh wetting.
èLow surface tension means high fluency, and compensates the defect that the viscous oils have at low temperatures. The superficial tension of DiOLIO is about 50% less than that of a common basic oil.
èHigh wetting is the capacity of the same liquid to adhere and remain on the surface of the parts to lubricate, for this reason even after a prolonged stop (oil that goes towards the oil pan sump) and therefore with a very cold engine, less energy will be needed to defeat the different forces that will go against the starting of the engine. We know that when cold, the friction can affect the consumption up to 50%; for example at 20°C stable, we notice that the average pressure of the engine friction is  2 - 3 times higher than at 90°C, while it is 5 - 7 times more at –20°C. Having the parts to lubricate already wet by the lubricant film is the best that can be offered to the engine, especially in those parts that can be found in the upper level, where the basic oil has the tendency to be scarce, for example in the control of the valves and bearing of the camshaft, as during the stop the oil of the engine returns by gravity inside the cup; the other parts where the DiOLIO remain are the system piston/compression rings and oil ring/cylinder and  crankshaft with axial bearings and connecting rod.
The DiOLIO in addition of reducing the consumption, allows to:

  • Reduce the noise, the smoke and the harmful emissions;

· Increase the engine performance (torque/ power);
· Increase the life of the lubricated organs;
· Remarkably improve the cold departures, as the parts that must be lubricated remain wet with the DiOLIO;
· Improve the cooling of the engine,  maintaining the viscosity even with temperatures; we know that 40% of the engine cooling is dissipated through oil lubricants;
· Increase the useful life of the basic oil of the engine, as DiOLIO is stable at oxidation;
The DiOLIO type V40 costs €uro 16,5/litre (excluding taxes and services) and we use only a percentage that goes from 10% for the gasoline engine up to 16% for the diesel engine, emulsifiable with basic liquids as specified. 1 litre is normally useful for 2 times oils changing.

The DiOLIO, is produced in different viscosities/prices according to the engines and/or applications and is mixed with semi-synthetic oils (preferably not mineral as too viscous, with which the synergy would only bring to a small and insignificant economy)
The DiOLIO, where requested, can be formulated specifically more viscous to solve some problems, like the exaggerated consumption of basic oil in some diesel engines.
