LIQUI MOLY is giving adventure seekers a new way to explore Mongolia this spring with two guided off-road tours through the country’s rugged landscapes. The company’s tour division, LIQUI MOLY Extreme, is offering the new “Gobi Tracks” and “Fast Off Tracks” experiences, both designed to take travelers far beyond the usual tourist routes in fully equipped four-wheel-drive vehicles.

The shorter “Fast Off Tracks” trip is a five-day, 780-kilometer journey through remote Mongolian terrain, including open grasslands, sand dunes, and untouched wilderness. Meanwhile, the week-long “Gobi Tracks” adventure covers roughly 2,000 kilometers across the famous Gobi Desert, taking drivers through everything from massive dunes and canyons to icy valleys. Both trips include accommodations, guide support, a private chef, an escort vehicle, and a LIQUI MOLY product package for travelers.

Spring is one of the best times to experience Mongolia, with fewer tourists, lower prices, and wide open landscapes coming back to life after winter. LIQUI MOLY says the tours are designed for self-driving participants looking for a mix of off-road excitement, scenery, and local culture, with optional trip extensions available for travelers who want to stay longer.

The journey dives deep into Mongolian culture and terrain, taking participants from the vast sand dunes of the Gobi Desert to the striking Altai Mountains and through Tavan Bogd National Park’s wild beauty. Along the way, you’ll visit the ancient capital of Karakorum and stay with nomads and traditional Kazakh eagle hunters who have practiced the art of hunting with golden eagles for generations.

This guided tour isn’t your average overland trip. Each small group of self-drivers is accompanied by a support vehicle with a guide and an on-board chef, so you can focus on the drive and the experience—whether you're crossing extinct volcanoes, riding camels, or stargazing in the remote wilderness.

Hot Shot's Secret Introduces Red Diamond Ultimate Motor Oil w/ FR3 Nano Technology /performance/oil-lubrication/hot-shot-s-secret-introduces-red-diamond-ultimate-motor-oil-w-fr3-nano-technology /performance/oil-lubrication/hot-shot-s-secret-introduces-red-diamond-ultimate-motor-oil-w-fr3-nano-technology

Hot Shot's Secret, a rapidly expanding name in performance lubricants, introduces Red Diamond Ultimate, a new motor oil now available exclusively to authorized dealers. This oil is designed to meet and exceed General Motors dexos 1 Gen 3 standards while maintaining cleaner oil for longer, enhancing performance, engine protection, mileage, and horsepower.

Red Diamond Ultimate utilizes 100% Group III base oils combined with Hot Shot's Secret's proprietary FR3 Nano Technology. It's suitable for hybrid and internal combustion engines, particularly small displacement, turbocharged GDI engines, where it provides protection against low-speed pre-ignition. The formulation includes potent anti-wear agents and antioxidants, which help prevent timing chain and valve wear and combat high-temperature deposits that can reduce horsepower and fuel efficiency. The robust detergent package ensures the engine remains clean longer, even with frequent idling. For HEV and PHEV vehicles that experience frequent starts and stops, the enhanced shear and oxidation stability and long-lasting film strength of FR3 offer additional protection at startup when oil flow is intermittent.

Josh Steinmetz, Hot Shot’s Secret Brand Manager, expressed excitement about offering this new motor oil exclusively through their dealer network. "With three viscosities available, we anticipate high demand due to its compatibility with any vehicle requiring Dexos1 Gen 3. It also surpasses API SM, SN, and SN Plus, along with many Ford and Chrysler specifications. This addition allows service centers to provide superior protection for their customers' vehicles."

Red Diamond Ultimate Motor Oil is available in three viscosity grades—0W-20, 5W-20, and 5W-30—and in three sizes: 5-gallon, 55-gallon, and 330-gallon.
