Driving can be stressful these days, with heavy traffic, unpredictable weather and harsh conditions. Like drivers, cars also suffer from stress, and if not taken care of well, they suffer from breakdowns and give drivers untold problems.

Therefore, maintenance is crucial, especially for what is considered for the heart of the car, the part that makes it tick; the engine. Proper engine care can not only prevent troublesome breakdowns from occurring, but may also help extend the life of the car. It will also reduce significantly the running costs, as the driver does not have to undertake costly repairs if the engine fails.

One of the ways to help maximise the life of an engine is the utilisation of engine additives or supplements, which enhances the possibility of keeping the engine smooth and free-flowing. Engine oil additives and supplements work in different ways, whether it be reducing friction for improved efficiency, preventing particles build-up in the engine parts, or simply to help the existing engine oil flow better through the engine.

What is Toho 9000?
Toho 9000 minimises friction to prevent the accumulation of positive ions, which are known to be harmful. It acts as anti-wear agent, viscosity improver, corrosion inhibitor and ester-diester engine lubricant. Besides containing ester-diester synthetic base oil, Toho 9000 retains viscosity at extremely high temperature, as well as at subzero temperatures for easy starting in cold winters. Toho 9000 resists oxidation much better than petroleum based oil and has a powerful cleaning action that dissolves and suspends sludge, varnish and carbon deposits.

When Toho 9000 is added to regular engine oil, ester micro particles can suppress the gathering of regular engine oil particles and the bigger particles are being surrounded by the polarity particles, stopping the bigger particles from growing, thus preventing the regular engine oil from degradation. Toho uses the following analogy to explain:

A freshly prepared glutinous cake is very sticky However, it can become less sticky by applying some flour (which is in tiny granular form).Imagine the bigger particles as glutinous cake and the polarity particles as tiny granular flour.

The dispersion/dissociation effect of Toho 9000 will cause the oil particles diameter to be less than 1 micron. The oil filter will not be blocked even after a long usage (the size of the filter’s pore is one micron). Since the oil particles do not stick to the filter, it can reduce oil consumption and keep the environment clean by huge reduction in waste oil disposal. If Toho 9000 is added to regular engine oil, the oil filter’s life span can be extended by up to 4 to 10 times longer.

What are some of the pros and cons of using Toho 9000?
Aside from reducing friction to enhance efficiency, Toho 9000 also acts as an engine-cleaning agent, thus lowering harmful exhaust emissions, making it cleaner for the environment. Toho 9000 also reduces oil consumption by 90%, and fuel consumption by 8%, saving the earth as well as drivers’ wallets.

Toho 9000 also reduces engine wear & tear, extending the life of your engine by 125%. It’s long lasting neutralising effect increases engine performance, and drivers need only to change oil and oil filter every 200,000km.

What should you take note of after using the oil supplement?

Perfect for equipment that are used irregularly, the Toho 9000 did show a slight improvement for one of the cars that we tested on. Bearing in mind that the oil supplement works for the different types of cars, the Toho treated oil does not degrade the car if it hasn’t been used for an extended period.

That said, drivers should take note of a couple of things, mainly the improved refinement of the car’s drive as well as the fuel consumption. According to Toho, clients indicate that fuel savings of at least 5% and may vary up to 12%, depending on the vehicle type, vehicle condition, driving style as well as fuel quality.

Toho advises that maximum benefit is achieved when mineral, instead of synthetic, oil is used - preferably one grade lower than specification. For example, if ‘15W40’ is specified, then use ‘10W30’, as Toho 9000 raises the oil by one grade. Toho also adds that its product is not approved for aviation engines, and not recommended for two-stroke engines.

Why should you choose Toho 9000?

Simply put, because it is a proven product, which has been tested on literally thousands of vehicles worldwide. Toho 9000 comes with a lifetime warranty, so you can be assured that the makers have their full support and backing of their product.

Toho 9000 also works on all kinds of engines, whether it is powered by diesel, LPG, petrol, as well as on all kinds of vehicles, be it cars, trucks, commercial vehicles or motorcycles. Its application is easy, by simply mixing it with your engine oil at your next oil change.

Toho 9000 has been proven to provide a boost in power and torque upon application, and at the same time reduces fuel and oil consumption significantly. It reduces wear and tear in engine operation, through the minimisation of friction by preventing the accumulation of positive ions. With the application of Toho 9000, oil filter replacement is only required once every 200,000km.

Most importantly, taking all of the above into account, Toho 9000 makes your car kinder to the environment, due to the reduced usage of fuel and oil, as well as the enhanced efficiency resulting in reduced harmful emissions.
