LX4 Lubricity Extreme is most effective when used with every fill up and is 100% compatible with other Hot Shot’s Secret fuel additives, including DIESEL EXTREME, EVERYDAY DIESEL TREATMENT and GASOLINE EXTREME. Follow recommended treat rates.
*Store above 32° F. If frozen, thaw, mix thoroughly, and use as directed. Although LX4 diesel lubricity additive does freeze at high temperatures, when mixed with diesel fuel, it does not affect the pour point, cold filter plugging point, or cloud point of the fuel.
TREAT RATIO
For pump diesel, treat rate is 1 ounce per 10 gallons to meet and exceed the EMA recommended 460 micron wear scar.
(For VP Racing Torq DX, treat rate is 1 ounce per 2 gallons to achieve a 461.5 micron wear scar.)
When the fuel our vehicles and equipment run lacks the proper lubrication, it can lead to catastrophic failures and expensive repairs. Fuel pumps and injectors are the most vulnerable when there is a lack of lubricity. Excess wear takes place, which can lead to mechanical failures and debris, such as metal shavings, being pushed through the fuel system. Hot Shot’s Secret LX4 Lubricity Extreme remedies the issues associated with low lubricity fuel by increasing lubricity and providing additional protection for all fuel systems.
Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) has caused many issues and concerns for the owners of diesel powered vehicles. The process of removing the sulfur from diesel fuel also removes oxygen and nitrogen, all of which helped with the lubricity of the fuel. The lack of lubricity in the fuel causes all of the moving parts inside your fuel system to suffer, especially fuel pumps and injectors. The lack of lubricity causes excessive wear and eventually leads to failure. Hot Shot’s Secret LX4 Lubricity Extreme safely adds additional oxygen back into the fuel, which is not harmful to the environment. Lubricity is enhanced and the wear scar is reduced by up to 56% in the ASTM D-6079 method in un-additized ULSD fuel, exceeding the lubricity recommendation by the US Government and Engine Manufacturers Association. The use of LX4 Lubricity Extreme in your fuel system provides additional protection and leads to a longer life of your fuel system components, saving you from catastrophic and expensive failures.

Keeping your fuel lubricated is essential to maintaining your vehicle’s fuel systems and engine. Review the answers to these commonly asked questions below to discover what Hot Shot’s Secret’s diesel fuel lubricity additive can do for you.
How does LX4 improve diesel lubricity
Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) has caused many issues and concerns for the owners of diesel powered vehicles. The process of removing the sulfur from diesel fuel also removes oxygen and nitrogen, all of which helped with the lubricity of the fuel. The lack of lubricity in the fuel causes all of the moving parts inside your fuel system to suffer, especially fuel pumps and injectors. The lack of lubricity causes excessive wear and eventually leads to failure.
Hot Shot’s Secret LX4 Lubricity Extreme safely adds additional oxygen back into the fuel, which is not harmful to the environment. Lubricity is enhanced and the wear scar is reduced by up to 56% in the ASTM D-6079 method in un-additized ULSD fuel, exceeding the lubricity recommendation by the US Government and Engine Manufacturers Association.
What Are Lubricity Additives?
Lubricity additives reduce wear on the fuel system including pumps and injectors. You need fuel lubricity for your engine to operate correctly and without breaking down. Lubricity additives return oxygen to the fuel, allowing it to go back to operating as intended.
Does Diesel Fuel Have Lubricant?
Diesel fuel has lubricant. However, removing sulfur from diesel fuel depletes it of oxygen and nitrogen. Both of these aid in lubrication, meaning wear and tear increases significantly when they are removed. An additive like LX4 Lubricity Extreme can restore the lubrication of diesel fuel.
Which Diesel Fuel Additive Has the Most Lubricity?
Hot Shot’s Secret ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) additive, LX4 Lubricity Extreme, has the most lubricity available today. If you want an additive that performs at the highest level and adds the most lubricity back into your fuel, you should try LX4 Lubricity Extreme.
What Is Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel?
Ultra-low sulfur diesel burns cleaner than previous types of diesel. Newer vehicles and machines are required to use ULSD. It was created for better emissions from the diesel combution process. Since removing the sulfur takes away some of the lubricity, you need an additive to restore it.
What Is the Best Additive for Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel?
Our LX4 Lubricity Extreme additive is the best for ULSD fuel. Hot Shot’s Secret uses a specialized formula to increase lubrication in your fuel without harming the environment. Our additive also decreases the amount of wear on your machine’s fuel system.

Ricky stone –
Can lx4 be used with edt and if so how to us I have a 2015 duramax
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Levi –
EDT now contains enough LX4 lubricity additive to meet the Engine Manufacturers recommendation for a 460 micron in the ASTM-D6709 test for diesel fuel lubricity.
BUT for ultimate protection (especially in a Duramax) use the performance dose of EDT along with the recommended treat rate of LX4.

Actually, for the Diesel Winter Anti-Gel, you can add LX4 (at the recommended dosage) for extra lubricity. Thanks!

Hi Jerry, LX4 will not harm the engine whatsoever and only provide benefits in this case, especially if it is a 15 gallon tank? Thanks!

Sorry is really newbie question ? If I add too much LX4 to diesel fuel will it gum up my filters??? And how much is too much to add. I added 130 ml to a 31 gallon tank. Thanks for your time.

R&D –
130 mL is very close to the treat rate for your tank size. While it is not recommended to use more than the provided treat rate, no harm will come to your vehicle in this case. The treat rate for our additives is set to give you, the customer, the most efficient amount of our additive for the lowest sale price. While over-treating can happen, we have tested at 10x the recommended dose with zero side effects.
