APM-PRO is an industrial-grade oil additive that uses active polar molecule technology (APM) to significantly reduce wear and friction, resulting in dramatically improved performance of engines, gears and hydraulics. The APM-PRO formula has been proven in industry applications for over 15 years, while independent test data has shown it can reduce friction by 45%.
Unlike oil treatments that only seek to fortify a lubricant oil with thickness and particulates, ZEC Lubrication oil additives treat and protect where the friction damage actually happens on the engine’s metal surfaces. The existing oil is used as a carrier to distribute the metal conditioners throughout the equipment, resulting in reduced friction and improved overall performance.
Applications & Benefits

Independent Test Results
The ZEC Lubrication oil additive formula has been thoroughly tested to meet the demands of industrial use. Included among the many tests performed was the Anti-Friction (ASTM-D 4172-B Coefficient of Friction-Four Ball Wear) test and the Extreme Pressure (ASTM-D 3233 Falex Pin & V-Block) test. The summary results are below.

Recommended Usage Ratios
Add APM-PRO to the machine’s lubrication oil at the percentages below. If oil volume is critical, drain oil equal to the amount of APM-PRO being added. Use Standard ratio for most applications and Maximum ratio when machine is experiencing extreme wear. To learn more, refer to our Usage Instructions.
Application | Standard | Maximum |
---|---|---|
Engine (<6 L) | 3% | 6% |
Engine (>6 L) | 6% | 10% |
Hydraulic system | 3% | 6% |
Gearbox | 8% | 15% |
Differential | 8% | 15% |
Manual transmission | 8% | 15% |
Transfer cases | 8% | 15% |
