Change Your Oil to Havoline^® and
Protect Your Car's Performance

To appreciate how Havoline^® protects your engine’s individual parts, you have to take a closer look. Much closer. The Deposit Shield^™ in Havoline motor oil works at a molecular level to form a protective coating on engine parts, effectively shielding them from harmful deposits and unnecessary wear. The result: cleaner, smoother running parts that can operate more efficiently and last longer.

Up close, even highly polished metallic surfaces are rough and irregular. Under a powerful microscope, the surface of a bearing looks like mountains as seen from an airplane at 40,000 feet. When rough metal engine parts pass over each other under extreme pressure and heat, metal can be abraded away creating floating metal fragments, which cause more wear.

Molybdenum Disulfide (Moly) is one of the many active ingredients in Havoline. Its individual particles look like small plates stacked one on top of the other. They are attracted to metal engine parts, filling microscopic pores and smoothing out surfaces, creating a uniform buffer like a coat of armor. Better yet, under pressure, the plates slide across each other as if you were pressing down and sideways on a fresh deck of playing cards. Instead of metal rubbing against metal, you have Moly plates moving across one another, protecting and lubricating your engine parts.

The thermochemical reaction of Moly reduces friction, which reduces heat. This in turn helps keep rings free from carbon build up, prevents blow-by, decreases emissions, and extends oil life. That’s a lot of good coming from just one of the advanced ingredients in Havoline with Deposit Shield.
