Suprotec for automatic transmission - instructions, prices, owner reviews

To restore worn-out friction units in automatic and CVT gearboxes, it is recommended to use the tribotechnical compound SUPROTEK automatic transmission. In this article on our Vodi.su portal, we will try to deal with this miracle cure in more detail:

• chemical composition;
• mechanism of influence on the automatic transmission;
• instructions and indications for use;
• prices, owner reviews - is it really possible to “cure” a gearbox with the help of SUPROTEK.

Tribological composition of SUPROTEK: chemical composition and mechanism of action

The term "tribotechnical" comes from the Greek word "tribo", meaning friction. There is even a whole branch of physics that studies friction processes - tribology. Friction is reduced by adding SUPROTEKA to the gear oil, which is poured into the automatic transmission and the variator.

The composition of the tool includes:

• crushed layered silicates - serpentines and chlorites;
• mineral oil or Dextron type oil (ATF).

Minerals make up only 4-5 percent, the rest of the mass is oil, which acts as a carrier. As the developers themselves write, the chemical formula was carefully selected over 10 years of laboratory experiments and tested in practice.

Mechanism of action. The whole point is that SUPROTEK grease belongs to "intelligent lubricants".

Its main purpose:

• minimization of gaps that appeared in friction pairs;
• reduction of friction losses - optimization of efficiency;
• decrease in wear rate due to the formation of anti-friction surfaces;
• extreme pressure properties - thanks to them, the composition can be poured even into new automatic transmissions and CVTs.

It is quite difficult to describe the mechanism of action in this format. In short, in places of greatest friction and wear, the temperature rises, the composition reacts to this increase, and a new, smoother surface is formed from the crushed minerals.

Instructions and indications for use

The company produces a huge number of additives:

• for SUVs with automatic transmission, manual transmission, transfer case, all-wheel drive;
• for gasoline and diesel power units;
• special additives for diesel and gasoline - antigels;
• means for systems of hydraulics and TNVD.

Consider the instructions using the example of an additive for automatic transmission. First of all, make sure you buy the right product for you. Pour only into a heated box through a regular filling device. Before pouring, the engine must be turned off, and the contents of the 80 ml bottle should be shaken thoroughly so that the sediment is evenly distributed over the volume.

If you fill the box with 1-10 liters of transmission fluid, then one bottle will be enough. If the transmission consumes more than ten liters of oil, two bottles must be used.

After SUPROTEK is filled, you need to drive your car for 20-30 minutes so that the composition penetrates into all cavities and niches of the automatic transmission. The frequency of topping up SUPROTEK corresponds to the frequency of replacing the standard gear oil.

According to the information in the promotional brochures, you will experience the following changes for the better:

• easier gear shifting due to minimizing gaps in the oil pump;
• reduction of hum and vibration due to the restoration of bearing surfaces;
• extending the service life of the gearbox, increasing the overrun;

The manufacturer also focuses on the fact that SUPROTEK facilitates the running-in of new gearboxes or after overhaul due to anti-seize properties. That is, metal chips that may remain on the gears and shafts will not harm the box.

There are no specific indications for use. Manufacturers claim that the composition can be used both on completely new cars and on those whose mileage exceeds 50-150 thousand km. The only remark is that if there are obvious defects and damage, it is pointless to use SUPROTEK.

The recommended official price for SUPROTEK automatic transmission is 1300 rubles per 80 ml bottle. In some online stores, the price may fluctuate slightly.

Owner reviews about SUPROTEK automatic transmission

All reviews can be divided into three large groups:

• don't you dare pour it g…!!!;
• "Slurry as slurry - only zero";
• How do I fix my car's box?

negative feedback

“I was seduced by advertising, filled SUPROTEK in automatic transmission. I had problems switching from second to first. Thought the ad was real. In fact, it turned out the other way around: now jolts and dips are felt when switching and other speeds, and expensive ATEEFKA oil stinks of burning. As a result, I had to spend money on expensive automatic transmission repairs.

neutral feedback

“The vaunted SUPROTEK does not work. I poured it into my variator somewhere in the 92nd thousand run. Proezdil another 5-6 thousand and had to go for repairs. The craftsmen did not find any smooth surfaces made of silicates. The usual wear on the bushings, scuffs on the cones, the belt is completely done. In a word, another advertisement and a scam for money.

Positive feedback

“My BMW X5 already has 270 miles on it. Once a box error on the panel caught fire. It turned out that the shaft seal was leaking, the whole bottom was flooded. The oil seal was changed at the service station, I traveled another 10-15 thousand kilometers of commercials - the error is on again. Again I came to the service station, they say you need to disassemble and look, pay 135 thousand rubles. I paid and got a one year warranty. In a word, this year the car did not leave. But they advised me SUPROTEK, I drained the old oil, filled in new oil along with SUPROTEK and ... YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT!!! The car drove on its own. The problems started at 270 thousand km, now I have rolled another 100 thousand. No problems.”

Let's be honest, it is the last review that looks like a paid one: they could not repair it at the service station, but SUPROTEK coped with all the breakdowns. Although, perhaps, this is such a way of advertising a product.

It is very difficult to make an unambiguous conclusion, since there are very different opinions, but the editors of Vodi.su adhere to traditional views: high-quality oil, timely replacement of filters, at the slightest knock - for diagnostics. With this approach, you can do without any additives for a long time.
