Muscle Metal Treatment MT-10®
Muscle Metal Treatment MT-10®
Metal Treatment MT-10® is an anti-friction additive designed to be used with the existing lubricant. It helps protect moving metal parts in engines, transmissions, gear systems, bearings, pumps, motors, and other lubricated equipment.
Typical Applications
Metal Treatment MT-10® is recommended for use in lubrication systems where additional anti-friction protection is needed in a wide range of applications:
Engines: Gasoline, Diesel, 2-Cycle, and Natural Gas
Transmissions: Automatic and Manual
Differentials
Gear systems
Bearings
Pumps
Electric motors
Hydraulic systems
Industrial machinery
Heavy-duty equipment
Fleet vehicles
Agricultural equipment
Construction equipment
Other lubricated mechanical systems
Important Application Notes
Metal Treatment MT-10® is not a stand-alone lubricant. It must be added to the existing lubricant and is not intended to replace the oil, fluid, or grease recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
MT-10® is not recommended for use in CVT transmissions or CVT fluids. Use caution in systems where the engine, transmission, and clutch share the same oil reservoir, such as some motorcycles and wet-clutch systems. If the clutch friction plates contain metal in the surface coating, MT-10® may cause slippage because it is designed to reduced friction.
Directions for Use by Application
Engines:
Add 8 oz. of MT-10® to 4 to 6 quarts of oil in the crankcase every oil change. For larger engine oil reserves, add 1.5 oz. of MT-10® per each quart of oil.
Automatic transmissions:
Add 8 oz. of MT-10® to transmission through the fluid tube. For larger, heavy-duty transmissions, add 1.5 oz. to each quart of fluid.
Standard transmissions:
Add 1 oz. of MT-10® per every pound of gear lube.
Power steering / rack assembly units:
Add 1.5 oz. of MT-10® per every quart of fluid.
Differentials:
Remove 4 oz. of lube and replace with 4 oz. MT-10® for standard-size vehicles (do not over fill). For larger differentials, i.e. trucks, add 1 oz. per pound of gear lube. NOTE: Limited slip additive is still needed with the use of MT-10®.
Gear boxes:
Add 2 oz. of MT-10® per quart of oil.
Hydraulics:
Add 1 oz. of MT-10® per quart of fluid.
For advanced, fine-filtered (microns) hydraulic systems where filter sensitivity is a concern, consider Muscle Hydraulic Treatment HT-10™. Read more: When to Use Metal Treatment MT-10® vs. Hydraulic Treatment HT-10™.
Bearings lubricated by oil bath systems:
Add 1 to 3% by volume. For multiple sumps, add MT-10® to each sump.
