FR3 Friction Reducer is a lubricity enhancing oil additive that increases the lubricating & wear reduction properties of the host oil. The product contains three proprietary synthetic lubricants that have unique lubricating properties even compared to PAO or mPAO synthetics of the same viscosity. The anti-wear component of the formula is an exclusive carbon nano lubricant that fills in microscopic irregularities on the machined surface. The synergy of these components extend the base oil performance in shear stability, oxidation stability, film strength & especially friction reduction. It also increases the oil’s film strength for added protection and efficiency.
Please make sure overall oil level does not exceed oil fill level when adding

FAQ's About Hot Shot’s Secret Oil Friction Reducer
You rely on your friction reducer to protect your engine’s components from wear and improve your vehicle’s fuel economy. As a result, you want to make sure you choose the right oil additive for your engine. To make an informed purchasing decision, review answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about FR3 below.
How does FR3 Friction Reducer work?
FR3 is an oil additive that boosts lubricity using three synthetic lubricants. These lubricants work together to increase horsepower, combustion efficiency and base oil performance.
One of the synthetic lubricants in FR3 — made from round nano carbon particles less than 10 nanometers in diameter — also reduces wear on engine components by filling in imperfections and creating a smoother surface for the lubricating film to form. Hot Shot’s Secret FR3 Friction Reducer has a negative charge, which allows it to effectively adhere to oil-wetted engine components.
Will FR3 Friction Reducer work with my engine?
We have formulated FR3 Friction Reducer to work safely and effectively in gasoline and diesel engines, including vehicle, marine, RV, agriculture, construction and semitruck engines. This oil friction reducer also effectively lubricates power steering, differential and hydraulic systems.
When should I add FR3 to my engine’s oil?
You should add FR3 Friction Reducer to your engine’s base oil during each regularly scheduled oil change. The treatment ratio for our oil friction reducer is 1.5 ounces of FR3 per quart of oil. FR3 is compatible with most mineral and synthetic base oils, as well as motor, transmission, gear and hydraulic oils, so you can feel comfortable adding it to your vehicle’s most critical systems.
Can I use FR3 with other oil additives?
We do not recommend using FR3 Friction Reducer at the same time as any other oil additives, including our own. However, you can alternate using FR3 and Hot Shot’s Secret Stiction Eliminator to help remove the buildup created by burnt oil. For the best results, use Stiction Eliminator for the first oil change and FR3 Friction Reducer for the next two oil changes, then repeat the cycle.
Will using FR3 void my engine’s warranty?
Using FR3 will not damage your engine’s components or void your manufacturer’s warranty. That’s a guarantee. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prevents manufacturers from using unfair or misleading warranty disclaimers, and it also ensures your warranty remains in effect when you use our additives. Just remember to use FR3 with a type of oil recommended by your manufacturer for use with your engine.
