Press release
Made in the USA and supplied ready to blend, the additive brings graphene into finished motor oils and additive packages without dry powder handling.
CHARLOTTE, NC — October 23, 2026 — Graphene Integrations today launched its Graphene Motor Oil Additive, a graphene additive for motor oil and engine oil formulations. The graphene comes pre-mixed in an oil-based carrier, so blenders can add it to a finished oil or blend it into their own additive package with the equipment they already run.
Built on independent lab results
The additive uses the same chemistry as the company's graphene lubricant additive: graphene integrated into oleic acid and monomer. In independent testing at Univar's Houston lab, that additive delivered up to 42% smaller four-ball wear-scar diameter and a 26% higher weld load compared with the lubricant without graphene. Weld load is the load at which the test surfaces seize, so a higher number means the oil keeps protecting metal under heavier load.
Results in a specific engine oil depend on the base oil and the additive package, so Graphene Integrations recommends that every blender test the additive in its own formulation against its current oil as the baseline.
Who it is for
The additive is aimed at blenders of finished motor oils and at fleets, marine and small-engine oil programs that want to evaluate graphene in gasoline and diesel engine oils. Typical dosing is 1% to 7% by weight, depending on the job, and the team suggests a starting treat rate for each trial. Pack sizes run from a 32 fl oz bottle to 1 gallon jugs and 5 gallon pails, with bulk quantities on request.
No powder, no new equipment
Graphene Integrations never sells graphene as a dry powder. Because the graphene is already dispersed in the carrier, there is no dust to handle and no special mixing step. Shake the container, weigh the dose, add it to the oil and test. The additive is patent pending, made in the USA and contains no carbon black. A technical data sheet is available, and the company does not publish fuel-economy, oil-life or field claims for it.

Translate bench protection into a formulation trial
GI’s lubricant additives use graphene integrated into oleic acid and monomer. The 1–7% by-weight treat-rate guidance concerns the supplied additive; agree the dosing basis and carrier for your formulation rather than treating it as neat-graphene content.
Independent four-ball testing at Univar’s Houston lab found up to 42% smaller wear-scar diameter and 26% higher weld load in the tested carrier-fluid blends. These are useful anti-wear and extreme-pressure results, not a measured reduction in engine friction, fuel consumption or maintenance. They do not validate every finished oil or grease.
Compare the finished formulation with its own baseline: viscosity, additive-package compatibility, oxidation, filtration and the relevant wear/load tests. For grease, also check thickener compatibility and consistency; for hydraulics, check air release and pump behavior. Demonstrate any resource benefit with actual oil consumption, replacement parts, drain intervals and energy under matched duty, including additive production and end-of-life in the environmental balance.
