FAQs

Diesel fuel system cleaners are useful in three situations: pre-MOT or pre-service preparation on older diesel engines with fouled injectors; routine fleet maintenance every 10,000–15,000 miles for hard-working commercial vehicles; and as a one-off treatment when a vehicle shows symptoms of injector fouling — rough idle, loss of power, increased fuel consumption, or visible smoke. Cleaners dissolve carbon and lacquer deposits from injectors, fuel rails, and combustion chambers. They will not fix mechanical injector failure.

Cetane number measures how readily diesel fuel ignites under compression — higher cetane means smoother combustion, better cold-start performance, and reduced injector wear. UK forecourt diesel typically carries a cetane number of 51–55. Cetane improvers raise this by several points, useful in older diesel engines that struggle with cold starts, in cold-climate operation, or where forecourt diesel quality is marginal. Modern common-rail engines benefit less than older indirect-injection diesels.

Approved OEM additives — those carried by major brands and specifically formulated within an OEM-approved service regime — generally retain warranty coverage. Aftermarket additives that aren't part of the OEM service specification can in some cases void cover for a related warranty claim, so check the engine manual or with the dealer before adding anything not specified. For routine fleet maintenance outside warranty, additives from major brands are widely used without issue.

Probably yes if you store diesel for more than three months, particularly in agricultural and plant applications. Modern low-sulphur diesel (and biodiesel-blended forecourt diesel) is more susceptible to bacterial and fungal contamination at the fuel-water interface in storage tanks. Bacterial growth blocks fuel filters, corrodes tank internals, and damages injection systems. Anti-bacterial additives — dosed into bulk tanks at routine refill — prevent the issue. They are not a cure for an existing infection; tanks with visible contamination need draining, cleaning, and refilling.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase, in original packaging, on orders delivered within the United Kingdom.

Oil Additives

View as Grid List

Oil Additives are the supplementary fluids added to engine oil, fuel, and hydraulic systems to enhance performance, extend service life, or address specific operating conditions. Within Oil, this sub-category covers diesel fuel additives, engine oil enhancers, fuel system cleaners, and specialist additive products for plant, agricultural, and commercial vehicle applications.

Common products in this range include diesel fuel system cleaners (which dissolve carbon deposits in injectors and combustion chambers), cetane improvers (for cold-start performance and combustion quality), engine oil enhancers (for high-mileage engines or extreme-pressure applications), and anti-bacterial additives for diesel storage tanks where bacterial contamination of fuel is a known risk in agricultural and plant use. Parts For Machines is an Authorised Distributor and Seller of Shell, Castrol, and Q8 across the oil and lubricant range.

While Shell, Castrol, and Q8 lead the engine oil and hydraulic oil ranges, additive selection at this level is led by specialist formulations from the brand engine oil ranges — Castrol GTX additive packs and Shell Rimula service additives are the most common. Trade buyers using this section typically have a specific application in mind — pre-winter diesel additive treatment, fleet-wide engine oil enhancement, or a one-off fuel system clean on a problem unit. Filter by application type and pack size; product pages list compatible engines, dosage rates, and treatment intervals.

Most additive products ship in 1-litre or 5-litre pack sizes for individual or fleet treatment use; larger 20-litre packs are available for repeat-use workshop applications. For larger volumes, fleet contracts, or specific OEM-approved additive packs, contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583 or email [email protected] with the application detail and we will source the right product.
