Primrose Armor Plate with Moly-D Ultragard is a highly viscous oil supplement which contains a shear-stable viscosity index improver to beef up any oil's film strength and the ability to keep engines cleaner. But, in addition, it contains a concentrate of Moly-D which will give Armor Plate protection to any oil, including motor oils, gear oils, hydraulic oils, compressor oils, and oils for other applications.
Amp reduction for gear oil additive for electric motor driven applications and extends life in motor oil as well as improves fuel economy.

Common questions about 480M Armor Plate w/ Moly D Ultragard
-
What is 480M Armor Plate with Moly-D Ultragard used for?
480M Armor Plate with Moly-D Ultragard is a highly viscous Primrose oil supplement that is mixed into motor, gear, hydraulic and compressor oils to strengthen the oil film and add Moly-D protection. Typical applications Primrose lists include heavy duty trucks, farm tractors, stationary engines, irrigation pump engines, excavators, fork lifts and boats. Primrose says it also facilitates parts assembly when applied liberally to parts before assembly.
-
Does 480M reduce engine blow-by?
Yes, Primrose lists reduced blow-by among the performance characteristics of 480M Armor Plate with Moly-D Ultragard, along with better ring sealing and improved compression. The same list includes reduced piston scuffing and scoring and removal of engine deposits.
-
How much 480M do I add to my engine oil?
For gasoline and diesel engine oil, the Primrose mix ratio for 480M is 1:10, which is 1 part 480M to 10 parts of oil. Primrose says 480M used at 10% adds as much Moly-D as Primrose Armor Plate with Moly-D oils contain. It is compatible with all petroleum and PAO based oils but is not designed for fluids with special frictional characteristics, such as those used in wet clutches.
-
What mix ratio of 480M do I use in gear oil, hydraulic oil or compressor oil?
480M is mixed 1:20 in hydraulic, air compressor, rock drill and manual transmission oil and in AGMA 1 and 2EP gear oil. Gear oil takes 1:15 at ISO 68 to 220 or AGMA 3EP, 4EP, 5EP, and 1:10 at SAE 80, 90, 140, 250, 75W90, 80W90, 80W140, 85W140, ISO 320 to 1000 or AGMA 6EP, 7EP, 8A. It is not designed for automatic transmission, wet clutch or friction drive fluids.
-
Can I use 480M in an automatic transmission or wet clutch?
No, Primrose says 480M Armor Plate Ultragard is not designed for fluids with special frictional characteristics, such as those used in automatic transmissions, wet clutches or any type of friction drive. Manual transmission oil is on the Primrose list of uses for 480M at a 1:20 mix, but that caution still applies if a transmission uses a fluid with special frictional characteristics.
