Oil and additive specialist LIQUI MOLY is launching an innovate Hybrid Additive, a fuel additive specially developed for hybrid vehicles.

Appropriately the Hybrid Additive is itself a hybrid, combining two properties to stabilize the fuel quality and clean the injection system.

The fact that the engine in a hybrid is not continuously in use means fuel remains in the tank for longer, while its short cycle operation can also cuase injection problems such as carbon build up.   David Kaiser, head of Research & Development at LIQUI MOLY says, “The newly developed Hybrid Additive keeps the petrol quality stable, protects against deposits in the injection system and removes existing deposits.”

Recognising the growing importance of hybrid vehicles LIQUI MOLY is also adding a hybrid pictogram to its 1 and 5 litre oil containers to make suitable oil selection easier.
