Established in 1984, Cost Effective Maintenance (CEM) provides cost effective methods to correct engine problems such as oil consumption, power loss, hard starting, smoke, poor fuel consumption, blow by and chronic overheating. In 2007, CEM were granted membership status with the Australian Government's Greenhouse Challenge Plus program, which requires members to commit to energy saving pursuits.

Chronic Overheating

Well, if your oil gets dirty very quickly, the resulting sludge can reduce the flow of cooling oil under the pistons. Deposits under the piston skirts can also prevent heat dissipation.

This problem can be easily corrected. Simply run the engine at a fast idle with clean oil, treated with Flushing Oil Concentrate (FOC) for 30 minutes, and bring the entire oil wetted side of the engine back to pristine cleanliness.

For high engine load application, AW10 Antiwear is also recommended to reduce friction, wear and heat build up at highly loaded parts. AW10 is also useful for reducing operating temperature in transmissions, differentials, hydraulics, etc.

Testimonial

Datsun SD25 Diesel. For 4 years, Allan Dickson had been unable to solve an overheating problem. Despite flushing the cooling system, and fitting a larger radiator, it would always boil up the Toowoomba Range. After using FOC, it gets up the range at 70 kph (instead of 40-50 kph) without overheating. One of the functions of oil is to cool, and if flow is restricted, overheating results.
