👉 Tracker fluid, also known as motor oil tracker or wear debris filter fluid, is a specialized additive used in internal combustion engines to monitor and manage the presence of wear particles within the engine. It contains tiny metallic beads or fibers that act as sensors, detecting and tracking metal particles generated from wear in components like bearings, pistons, and crankshafts. As these particles move through the engine, they adhere to the fluid's surface, allowing the tracker fluid to circulate and collect them. This collected debris is then filtered out, typically by a filter element, and sent to the engine's oil pan or reservoir for periodic flushing. This process helps maintain engine cleanliness, reduces wear and tear on engine components, and extends the life of the engine by preventing the accumulation of harmful particles that could lead to damage.
