With engine technology in the Australian carparc advancing rapidly, the need for lubricant suppliers to maintain pace of their own product development has never been more pronounced. With Renault looking for lubricants that can deliver improved oxidation performance, piston cleanliness and sooted valvetrain wear performance in their latest technology engines, Castrol has recently launched Castrol GTX 5W-30 RN17. A full synthetic engine oil, Castrol GTX 5W-30 RN17 carries Renault RN17 approval, Renault’s latest 5W-30 mid SAPS service fill specification for petrol and EURO 6 diesel vehicles. This makes it suitable for use in a range of Groupe Renault (Renault, Mitsubishi, Nissan) vehicles including late model Mitsubishi Express vans. The specification has also been designed for turbocharged gasoline direct (TGDI) engines and includes gasoline particulate filter (GPF) protection. Importantly for workshops looking to consolidate lubricants, the Renault RN17 specification is
fully backwards compatible in applications where RN700 and RN710 approvals are called for. As one of the world’s most trusted engine oils Castrol GTX is designed to specifically help extend engine life and like all Castrol GTX products, the Double Action formula of Castrol GTX 5W-30 RN17 is designed to clean away old sludge and is demonstrated to protect against new sludge formation better than tough industry standards (API SN Seq. VG Sludge test limit). To learn more about Castrol GTX 5W-30 RN17, speak to your local Castrol rep, call Castrol on 1300 554 890, or visit www.castrol.com.au
VALEO REGLOSCOPE PRO Precise, fast and efficient headlamp alignment correction Valeo has introduced its new Valeo Regloscope which it says makes it easier for mechanics to check and correct headlamp alignment. The precise adjustment of the alignment of headlamps is essential to avoid dazzling other road users and to comply with regulations. Garage floors are not always perfectly flat and a dedicated area is sometimes necessary to avoid making inaccurate measurements.
It states this is a definite economic advantage, for both in-house workshops and truck garages
Thanks to its Flex Set modules that are placed against a front wheel and a back wheel of the vehicle, Valeo says its Regloscope Pro measures the horizontality of the floor with a laser and calculates the necessary compensation.
As technical check-ups become stricter, complying with regulations is essential. Valeo says lighting is one of the top three reasons for failing a technical check-up that demands a second verification (along with tyres and brakes).
Accurate lighting settings for any type of technology With its 1.80 m mast, the Valeo Regloscope Pro can be adapted to all car and truck headlamp heights in order to correct the settings of all types of lamps (fog lamps, low-beam lamps and full-beam lamps) that use existing (halogen, xenon) and emerging technologies (LED, matrix).
Proven added value for customers
The Valeo Regloscope Pro performs a complete diagnostic of the lamps in less than five minutes and prints out a diagnostic report.
Significant time-saving
The system is also instructive, because if an adjustment is necessary, it produces a pre- and post-adjustment report that explains the need for the operation and proves that the problem has been solved.
Valeo says its Regloscope Pro is so easy to use and efficient that you will be able to increase the number of vehicles you can work on in a given period of time.
