2·4·6 Metal Treatment is engineered to be compatible with gear oils such
as Automatic Transmission Fluid, Mercon & Dexron as well as hydraulic
fluids. 2·4·6 Metal Treatment is named after the directions for its most common
application (i.e. 2 oz. In the power steering reservoir of steering box, 4
oz. In the differential and 6 ox. In the automatic transmission or manual
gear box). It is designed to reduce friction in extreme pressure situations,
contributing to a reduction in wear and operating temperatures. It works in
the same manner as all the Bi-Tron lubricants, coating metal with a
protective layer of positively charged oil molecules. It will actually be
attracted into areas of high wear because the extra friction creates extra
heat and so extra negative charge, whereas a conventional oil will run away
from that area. The reduction in friction leads to less waste of energy
(energy lost in the form of heat and noise). This means that more energy is
fee to pass through the drive train providing an improvement in horsepower or
power output at the wheels.
It is probably one of the more versatile products in the Bi-Tron
family. Its uniquely engineered pure hydrocarbon base makes it completely
compatible with a wide range of different gear & bearing oils as well as
hydraulic & cutting fluids.
Directions:
For ease of interpretation, in most vehicles 60 ml (2 oz.) go into the
steering reservoir or box, 120 ml (4 oz.) into the differential and 180 ml (6
oz.) into the transmission or manual gearbox. The optimum ratio (if in any
doubt) is 6% of the overall volume of the casing being treated. This is the
same ratio regardless of how large the case is. The Bi-Tron needs to
be re-applied only when the fluid is changed according to the manufacturers’
guidelines.
 
One treatment should last for 1 - 2 years, or according to service
instructions for changing gear or transmission oil. If the oil/fluid is
changed, re-treat with Bi-Tron 2·4·6 Metal Treatment.
Treatment results should
include:
- Manual gears shifting more smoothly. Before
engine is started, shift gears, compare feeling before and after Bi-Tron
2·4·6 is
added. The "catching or corners" feeling should have been
reduced as you shift through the gears. In other words, shifting is
quicker and without "grabbing".
- Less vibration of the gear shift might also be
evident.
- Less torque loss translates into an increase in
actual power to drive train.
- Smoother, faster shifting of gears in automatic
transmissions.
- Reduction of transmission gear howl and
vibration.
This product will not cause
"slippage" in either manual or automatic transmissions. On the
contrary, its use results in smoother, easier gear changes. Clutches need
friction to operate - the clutch plates in an automatic transmission are
bathed in transmission fluid but are fibrous in make up (similar to brake
pads) and so should be treated with Bi-Tron. The Bi-Tron 2·4·6
Metal Treatment coats and protects the
complex systems of metal gears that make up the remainder of any transmission
or gearbox.
Bi-Tron 2·4·6 will
assist in the protection of the automatic transmission or gear box from
friction and reduce the heat build-up which destroys the effectiveness of the
fluid (the major cause of failure).
Note: Bi-Tron is non-corrosive and cannot negatively affect the material
of the seals. It is a metal treatment and treats only the metal surfaces.
Caution: Bi-Tron will not restore damaged seals that are already
hardened and cracked.
For regular and non-slip differentials, gears
and transfer cases, mix at 6% 2·4·6 by
volume. Differentials are subjected to considerable heat and friction due to
the loads and stress of gears. Laboratory tests and actual use have proven
that Bi-Tron decreases internal oil temperatures in differentials
anywhere from 5-20°C (41-68°F). The pressures in these systems are huge and
the metal surfaces are subject to severe stresses. Bi-Tron will not
interfere with the biting points of these systems but will protect the metal
from excessive wear.
Treatment results should include:
- Reduced operating temperatures.
- Reduced differential noise (gear howl).
Caution: Bi-Tron 2·4·6 is not intended for gears that have
sheared or are on the verge of lock-up, unless this is due to overheating and
has not yet resulted in welding.
2·4·6 is
compatible with all steering units. Mix at 6% by volume.
Treatment results should include:
- Easier steering maneuvers.
- Increased pump flow in worn or dirty power
steering units.
- Increase in life expectancy of unit due to
decreased wear.
Note: Bi-Tron is not
intended to restore mechanical failure.
Bi-Tron 2·4·6 is
completely compatible with hydraulic oils and should be used at a 6% ratio.
It will coat the entire system with a protective layer, reducing operating
temperatures and wear. Most of the heat in these systems is generated by
extreme pressures. This heat will cause the metal to expand and so increase
the level of friction and wear, which will then, in turn, contribute to the
heat further expanding the metal creating more friction and so on. The
2·4·6 helps
break this vicious cycle.
Clutches that are bathed in oil should be treated with Bi-Tron’s 2·4·6
metal treatment at a 6% ratio. It will not
interfere with the biting points of clutch plates or cause any slippage.
Clutch plates are made from fibrous material, not metal , and so are not
affected.
Note: Clutches and transmissions that have common sump oiling with an engine
(most four-stroke motorcycles) should be treated with Bi-Tron’s Engine
Formulation at the ratios recommended for that product.
2·4·6 is
compatible with most drilling fluids. Please fax in to Corporate Headquarters
(604) 734-0433 the specific information as to the nature of the material
being machined, and the equipment and cutting fluid currently being used. We
will then calculate the ratio at which to use the product.
Mix 6% 2·4·6 by
volume. Air-Conditioner compressors are a tremendous source of power draw on
engines. Before adding, please check with your service technician for
assistance.
There are many other areas where friction can be a source of problems. Many
engineers have used their imagination finding new ways of utilizing the many
properties of Bi-Tron. Keep in mind that Bi-Tron 2·4·6
Metal Treatment can be used wherever
friction is found. The rule-of-thumb for mix percentage is 6% by volume. It
may be advisable to use up to 10% when quick response is required.

I drive a 1985 Plymouth
Voyager, 2.2 l., 5-speed van. After Bi-Tronizing my van, it ran
quieter and had much more power, and my gas mileage increased. My
transmission had been sticking when going into 5th gear, but after using 2·4·6, it shifted smoothly. Bi-Tron Penetrating
Lubricant worked wonders on my frozen door locks.
On a road trip soon after, my oil light flashed and I discovered I had lost
all my oil, yet the van didn’t overheat. I added oil and
|
|
Engine Formulation, and we were able to make it to our destination.
I was able to drive 16 more hours, adding only 2 more litres of oil, before
getting the van checked. The mechanic told me my valve cover gasket had had
a leak in it. He was surprised the van had kept on running - and that the
gasket had actually sealed to the point of not needing repair! I now add
only ¼ litre of oil a month. Bi-Tron really works!

I’m a demolition derby
driver on weekends, with 94 wins and 4 Alberta championships under my belt.
I was very skeptical when first introduced to Bi-Tron, but decided
to try adding Engine Formulation and 2·4·6 to my car before a race. What I witnessed was
truly amazing! As the race progressed, black debris began shooting from my
open headers through the hood, and my engine seemed to be performing much
stronger. By the third and final race, with no wheels left on the back of
the car and the frame dragging on the ground, my engine and transmission
were working better than they had at the start of the race.

The overall performance was noticeably better in my car. Needless to say,
I’ve added Bi-Tron to my street vehicles with the same result.
