In this interview, Ron Ananian, "The Car Doctor," speaks with Kyle Fischer, Director at Hot Shot Secret, about engine additives and the concept of "stiction." Stiction, a combination of "sticky friction," occurs when carbon builds up inside an engine, leading to problems with oil flow and engine components. Kyle explains how Hot Shot Secret focuses on developing products that target specific issues in both gasoline and diesel engines, like improving fuel quality and reducing friction.

 

They discuss Hot Shot Secret's Diesel Extreme product, designed to combat issues like poor lubricity in diesel fuel, which results from government regulations on sulfur content. Diesel Extreme contains six key components to address these problems, improving fuel system performance. On the gasoline side, the growing use of small turbocharged engines presents challenges like carbon buildup, which Hot Shot Secret products also help clean.

 

Kyle also shares the origin of Hot Shot Secret, explaining that their founder, a tribologist, developed a product to fix issues with diesel injectors in Ford's 6.0L and 7.3L engines. This product, the Stiction Eliminator, was so effective that it became the company's flagship offering. Finally, Kyle talks about the company's friction reducer, FR3, which helps reduce engine wear by using nanocarbon particles to minimize friction in the engine.

 

The interview highlights how Hot Shot Secret's research-driven products help extend engine life by addressing common fuel and oil system problems, benefiting both diesel and gasoline engine owners.
