Engine oil serves two purposes: To lubricate moving parts and to clean the engine. In order to clean, engine oil contains detergents and dispersants. An engine oil’s Total Base number (TBN) is the measure of active detergents and dispersants that are still present in the oil. These detergents and dispersants naturally deplete over time, which allows acid to form inside the engine. These acids are corrosive to your engine.
Please visit our website for more information on this topic.
Hot Shot’s Secret TBN Booster replenishes these detergents and dispersants allowing your oil to effectively neutralize the acidic conditions inside your engine. This helps keep the engine clean, safe from corrosion and allows for extended oil change intervals. TBN booster is also infused with our FR3 Friction Reducer, which helps fortify the oil and increase lubricity for added protection.
Total Base Number (TBN) is the measure of the alkalinity reserves (detergents and dispersants) in your oil as expressed in KOH/gram. The alkalinity reserve is naturally being depleted from the oil, as it is designed to be self-sacrificial in order to protect the oil and the components inside the engine. Knowing an oil’s alkalinity reserve will help in determining the remaining useful life of the oil. Therefore, oil analysis is always recommended.
The oil’s detergents and dispersants (quantified by TBN) help combat sludge and varnish build up on internal components of the engine but also help reduce the harmful effects of the combustion process (acidic conditions). Some of the Sulfur components in your diesel fuel are converted to metal sulfates and Sulfuric Dioxide (SO2) during diesel combustion. This SO2 reacts with oxygen and water to form Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4). These acidic conditions are harmful and corrosive to all metal surfaces inside your engine. The higher the TBN value of your oil, the more this acid can be neutralized oil and slow the oxidation rate.
In applications where extended oil change intervals are needed or oil quality needs improved, the TBN rating of the oil must be replenished in order to protect the engine. Hot Shot’s Secret TBN Booster does just that by replenishing the detergents and dispersants with a CK-4 package and over based calcium sulfonates, which raises TBN levels to effectively neutralize these harsh acids and disperse the soot produced by diesel combustion.
Many oil “stabilizers” or “fortifiers” are simply thick base oils. While these products fix the problems associated with a loss of viscosity due to shearing and potential oxidation of oil, they actually dilute your additive packages. TBN Booster is the only product available that addresses all the issues associated with aging oil and the only product that raises TBN.
TBN Booster’s formula contains 100% active ingredients of a CK-4 additive package, a TBN Booster and Hot Shot’s Secret FR3 Friction Reducer. Increased fuel mileage, reduced wear and decreased oxidation are achieved by the addition of FR3 Friction Reducer. For a full list of benefits provided by FR3 Friction Reducer, please visit the FR3 product page.
Hot Shot’s Secret TBN booster is compatible in all synthetic or conventional engine oils, although a high quality PAO oil is recommended for you to experience the most mileage on a single oil change.
Oil Filters should be changed at normal maintenance intervals and an oil analysis program should be used to determine the proper treatment rate and schedule.
We learned that the high quality PAO Blue Diamond Engine Oil was kept clean by the Frantz bypass filter and the oil viscosity was in spec because of the lack of shearing, but the additives were depleted over time, so a new product was formulated to address this issue.
TBN Booster is a concentrated formula that contains 100% active ingredients of a CK-4 additive package, a TBN Booster and Hot Shot’s Secret FR3 Friction Reducer. This allows for extended oil change intervals, improved viscosity stability and a decrease in oil oxidation.

If it does not have an emissions system yes you can use our TBN Booster, if it still has the emissions system it cannot be used due to the possibility of clogging up the catalytic converter if you are experiencing oil consumption or blow-by.
TBN Booster during an oil change interval after an oil analysis indicates that the total base number should be boosted. Stiction Eliminator should be used at the beginning of an interval. Introducing TBN during an interval that started with Stiction Eliminator is fine.
You can absolutely use it, yes! It’s simply replenishing the detergent from fresh oil, if used as directed.
If you need to extend the life of your oil before performing the next change TBN Booster could be for you.
Performing an oil analysis will determine the amount of TBN needed to bring your oil back into specification. In addition to raising the Total Base Number (TBN), you will improve viscosity stability and a decrease in oil oxidation.
TBN Booster additive is the only fortified engine oil stabilizer that increases total base number (TBN) and viscosity by replenishing the detergents and dispersants that are naturally lost over time. When these detergent and dispersant additives are replenished, your oil will be able to effectively neutralize the acidic conditions that corrode your engine. TBN Booster additive is a concentrated formula that contains 100% active ingredients of a CK-4 Additive Package, a TBN Booster and the infusion of Hot Shot’s Secret FR3 FRICTION REDUCER.
The Total Base Number, or TBN of an oil represents the amount of active detergents and dispersants that are present in the oil. Many people only consider the purpose of oil to be for lubricating the engine. Although this may be its primary function, an oil is also intended to clean and maintain the cleanliness of the engine and its components. Detergents are used in oils to help prevent rust, break down engine sludge and stabilize acids to prolong oil life. Dispersants are lubricant additives that help prevent sludge, varnish and other deposits from forming on critical surfaces. Together, detergents and dispersants protect an engine from damaging wear, as long as they remain present.
As time goes on and oil is routinely cycled throughout a hot engine, the detergents and dispersants begin to deplete. As this occurs, acid will build up within your oil. This acid is corrosive and can cause wear to your engine. Unless you change your oil every 1,000 miles, chances are you will be driving around for a while with oil that is not performing as well as intended. That is, unless you replenish those detergent and dispersant additives back into the oil. Diesel engine oils are normally formulated with a higher TBN to protect against the formation of acids caused by incomplete fuel combustion. The TBN of fresh oil is typically in the range of 7 to 10 for gasoline engines and 10 to 14 for diesel engines. To best use TBN Booster on oil aynalist should be taken. The treatment rate varies, depending on the desired TBN increase, initial Total Base Number and the oil capacity of your engine.Hot Shot’s Secret TBN Booster is scientifically proven to increase the TBN of an oil up to 7 points, helping to restore the lost detergents and dispersants and helping to extend the life of your oil.
Hot Shot’s Secret TBN Booster not only increases TBN, it fortifies and stabilizes the host oil. TBN Booster is a concentrated formula that contains 100% active ingredients of a CK-4 additive package, a TBN Booster and Hot Shot’s Secret FR3 Friction Reducer. Many oil “stabilizers” or “fortifiers” are simply thick base oils. While these products fix the problems associated with a loss of viscosity due to shearing and potential oxidation of oil, they actually dilute your additive packages. TBN Booster is the only product available that addresses all the issues associated with aging oil and the only product that raises TBN. This allows for extended oil change intervals, improved viscosity stability and a decrease in oil oxidation.
By extending the life of the oil, you are also extending your drain intervals and saving money in oil changes. Let’s take it a step further and talk about how you can extend these oil drain intervals even longer; so long you can almost write them off all together. Bypass filters work alongside a vehicle’s factory filter and remove wear particles down to 2 microns. By removing particles at the 2 micron level, you are not only dramatically reducing the amount of wear to the engine, but it also helps the oil perform more efficiently and helps prevent it from falling out of spec. The most cost effective solution to extending oil drain intervals is to add a Frantz Bypass Filter to the oil system. These cost effective systems use a paper media that is by far the least expensive on the market today. Rather than draining and replacing the oil every 5,000 miles, just pop off the Frantz Filter canister, drop in a new paper media and you’re back on the road with confidence that every wear particle down to 2 microns has been removed from the oil. Add a treatment of TBN Booster through the oil fill tube to restore those depleted detergents and dispersants, and your oil will perform like new.
This may go against everything you may think you know about oil. So for a little peace of mind, there’s no harm in taking an oil sample and sending it off to the lab for an oil analysis. The lab will study your sample and send you back a report showing how many damaging particles were found at various micron levels, as well as other data like its viscosity, oxidation levels and TBN. Once you understand the makeup of engine oil and how it changes over time, you are able to better manage your preventative maintenance schedule and save yourself some money with confidence.
