The app uses various sensors built into the phone to carryout the measurements.

It is a free app (For advanced features like FFT plot and all, you’ll have to spend Rs.650, which wasn’t necessary for my purpose).

Measurement was carried out using the Android app iNVH by Bosch running on my One Plus 2. Hence, thought about measuring the before & after NV levels so that a scientific comparison can be carried out instead of just sticking to my senses! I was pretty much sure that I won’t be able to notice any difference at least for a few hundered(or thousand) kilometres. I stuck it along side of a warning sticker on the car.Īdding it is straight forward, bring the engine up to temperature, turn the engine off, remove the oil cap and empty the bottle in. The package also comes with a sticker inside, which is used to note down the reading on the ODO when adding CeraTec, which is quite nice. On their product specification document, they’ve mentioned that CeraTec is based on Hexagonal Boron Nitride(Read more here: ) which is used in lubricants & in cosmetics! The container looks & feels awesome(ah the Germans!) for an oil additive, it comes in an aluminium bottle of 300mL which is for use with 5L of oil. Like before, the package arrived at my home in a neatly packed box in just 2 days, all the praise to LRL Motors! CeraTec claims to be based on a micro ceramic compound that sticks to metal parts, creating a lasting lubricating effect. I wasn’t expecting miracles, but after reading all the praises about the product on the interwebs, I was keen on trying this.īought CeraTec from Land Rover Labs, they’re one among the authorised Liqui Moly(and a host of other performance & detailing product brand) distributors in India. I’m particularly interested in knowing what CeraTec can do on top of the improved NV levels after switching over to TopTec 4100. The car has now clocked around 7100KMs after the oil change, you can find more on my thoughts here. Also, wanted to make sure that the smoothness & responsiveness I felt after the oil change wasn’t just placebo. Didn’t try other sources & was delayed because I wanted to see how the oil performed. I was planning on adding it along with the oil, but it wasn’t available in stock with Land Rover Labs(from where I bought Liqui Moly TopTec 4100 oil) when I bought the oil. It is available here in India at a cost upward from about Rs.2500/- depending on the source. It is quite famous among enthusiasts & is commonly added while changing the engine oil. Liqui Moly CeraTec is one of the first names that come up if you do a search on Google for ‘engine oil additive’. Adding something to the oil will modify its properties - may increase/decrease the viscosity - I always thought this is bad for the engine because it drifts away from the manufacturer specification.Every manufacturer wants their engine to be quiet & smooth - they’ll try their max to improve these through less expensive, more obvious things like better lubricants & bearings.I have never used any oil additive on any of our cars before & honestly I was among the people who think that oil additives are total bullsh*t like blinker fluid because of 2 main reasons : Many say that they don't really work, yet an equal (or more) number of guys claim that they do work. Now, oil additives are one of the highly debated topics among car guys. I was planning on adding CeraTec & some of you guys suggested that I must use it. I switched from Shell Helix to Liqui Moly TopTec 4100 on my Skoda Laura a few months back (Done a review on it here) and it has since then improved/multiplied my trust on the Liqui Moly brand. As promised, here is my review on the Liqui Moly CeraTec, which is an oil additive that claims to improve NV levels along with mileage & also claims to increase engine life.
