Hot Shot’s Secret® Tick Fix + Protect™ is an advanced oil enhancer for gasoline-powered engines that restores smooth performance, reduces unwanted engine noise, and delivers unmatched wear protection.
Engineered to address the root cause of valvetrain wear and hydraulic lifter malfunction, Tick Fix + Protect™ targets the damaging conditions found in modern engines with stop/start systems, displacement-on-demand, and hybrid technology. These designs often interrupt the constant flow of oil to certain lifters, causing localized heat buildup. Over time, that heat begins to cook the oil in those areas, turning it into carbon, burnt oil and varnish that clog tiny oil passages and prevent lifters from operating smoothly. When lifters stick or collapse, it disrupts proper valve operation, accelerates camshaft wear, and can lead to catastrophic failure.
Formulated with Hot Shot's Secret's proprietary FR3 Nano Technology® and a complete additive package that meets the dexos™1 GEN 3 specification, Tick Fix + Protect™ replaces one quart of oil in 4–8 quart systems supplementing your host oil’s chemistry. Tick Fix + Protect™ uniquely lubricates and cleans at the same time. By cleaning away harmful deposits, it restores full lifter function while reducing wear by up to 30%* — restoring performance, and extending engine life.
Tick Fix + Protect™ helps to reduce the infamous LS and HEMI engine lifter tick, quiet noisy valvetrains, and prevent future wear in modern powertrains. Including but not limited to: stop/start, hybrid, and displacement-on demand engines.

PRESS RELEASE BELOW:
Hot Shot’s Secret®, the fastest growing high-performance lubricant brand in the USA, introduces Tick Fix + Protect™. This advanced oil enhancer developed for gas-powered vehicles addresses the root cause of valvetrain noise and hydraulic lifter malfunction by targeting damaging conditions uniquely found in engines with stop/start systems, Displacement-on-Demand (DOD) and hybrid technology.
Tick Fix + Protect addresses the root cause of lifter tick prevalent in many LS and HEMI engines. Formulated with a dexos™1 GEN 3–compliant additive package and FR3 Nano Technology®, Tick Fix + Protect simultaneously cleans deposits to support proper lifter function while reducing engine wear by up to 30%.* The results are quieter valvetrains, reduced rough running, improved power and reliability.
Lubrication Specialties Vice President of Research and Development, Kevin Adams, says, “LS Chevy and HEMI owners are quick to tell you about a tick in their lifters. These engines are equipped with a system called Displacement on Demand or Active Fuel Management. The system interrupts the flow of oil to certain lifters to temporarily turn your V8 into a V4. Over time varnish builds up in the disabled lifters and causes them to operate out of time. The Tick Fix solves this problem by adding extra lubricity and detergency to the oil so the lifter can be cleaned and restored safely over time. It’s an easy investment in long-term performance and protection.”
