Adding detonation nanodiamond (invented about 25 years ago in Russia) is known to improve oil performance, increase fuel economy slightly and about double part life. The particles are slightly abrasive but better than oil alone. Under extremely high magnification they have sharp edges and flat faces, but because they are about 10nm they work pretty well for lubrication. The particles in my product, I manufacture and invented, but they are different than the known abrasive material because the particles are smaller and have smooth surfaces. The material behaves very differently than any other known nanomaterial, and they stick like glue to steel. There are new ways to increase fuel economy and efficiency.
A one time engine treatment for a semi runs $1200, but the oil lasts several times longer and soot in the oil drops 50% to 80% as seen in multiple oil analysis on our testing page. The new particulate semi filters cost about $15,000 and fuel economy drops. Spending more to get less is a poor option.

Another solution is to get the raw material from a manufacturer. A kilogram can be purchased for 100 dollars US in various grades. This however would not be a test of DiamondLube products but a generic test of nano diamonds.
