Product Information

Full details

This lubricant is designed for competition engine and transmission builders, offering crucial anti-wear protection during the critical initial start-up phase of newly assembled mechanical components. Its key benefit is providing enhanced lubricity and safeguarding components like camshafts and bearings from extreme loads upon first use. A minor consideration is that it is designed to dissipate on startup, meaning it's not a long-term lubricant.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this assembly lube?

Its primary purpose is to provide essential anti-wear protection to critical engine and transmission components during the initial start-up phase after assembly, preventing damage from lack of immediate lubrication.

How much ZDDP does this lubricant contain?

It contains a high concentration of ZDDP (Zinc Dithiophosphate) anti-wear additives, significantly more than standard engine oils.

Do I need to perform an oil change immediately after the first start-up?

No, unlike some assembly pastes, this lubricant is fully miscible with engine and transmission oils and will dissipate on start-up, reducing the need for an immediate, extra oil change.

Can I use this for routine maintenance instead of engine oil?

No, this is strictly an assembly lubricant designed for specific, high-stress applications during the initial build. It is not a substitute for regular engine or transmission oil.

What components should I apply this lubricant to?

It is recommended for valve trains (camshafts, followers, lifters), crankshaft bearings, and any other components subject to extreme high loads during initial start-up, especially in competition engines and transmissions.

Is this product suitable for all engine rebuilds?

It is specifically developed for competition engine and transmission builders and newly assembled components requiring maximum mechanical protection on first start-up. Its high ZDDP content may not be suitable for all modern engines with specific catalytic converter requirements if used inappropriately.

Troubleshooting

Lubricant appears too thick or difficult to spread.

Ensure the product is at a moderate ambient temperature. If stored in a very cold environment, allow it to warm up slightly before use. Do not overheat.

Concerns about residue after initial start-up.

This is normal. The lubricant is designed to dissipate into the engine or transmission oil. If any significant clumping or blockage is suspected, consult the engine/transmission builder or a qualified mechanic.

Product not available in local stores.

This specialized product may have limited retail availability. Check with specialist automotive parts suppliers or order directly from authorized distributors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides essential protection for newly built engines and transmissions on initial start-up.
  • High concentration of anti-wear additives (ZDDP) ensures robust component safeguarding.
  • Designed to stay on parts during assembly for immediate protection.
  • Fully compatible with standard engine and transmission oils.
  • Reduces the risk of damage to critical engine parts like camshafts and bearings during break-in.

Cons

  • Not intended as a long-term lubricant; dissipates on initial start-up.
  • Primarily for competition or newly rebuilt engines/transmissions, not routine maintenance.
  • Requires careful application during the assembly process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This product is intended for use during the mechanical assembly process of engines and transmissions. Apply directly to the components you wish to protect, such as camshafts, bearings, lifters, and gears, prior to their installation.

Compatibility: Millers Oils Motorsport Competition Engine Assembly Lube is specifically formulated to be fully miscible and compatible with most common engine and transmission oils. It is designed to integrate with these oils upon start-up.

Care: As this product is designed to dissipate on initial start-up, no specific long-term care is required. Its function is completed once the engine or transmission oil begins to circulate effectively. Ensure the product is stored in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
