This paper reviews existing studies on enhancing the lubricity and tribological properties of synthetic
liquid fuels used in high-efficiency piston devices. The effectiveness of ZnO and MoS₂
nanoparticles, organomolybdenum compounds, biodiesel, fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), and
locally developed GTL-SN additives was analyzed. The studies show that additives reduce wear scar
diameter (WSD), promote the formation of stable tribofilms on metal surfaces, and significantly
improve the lubricating properties of synthetic fuels. Based on this review, functional additives are
shown to enhance the performance and durability of piston devices operating under high-load and
high-temperature conditions
