MEGUIAR’S HOT SHINE TYRE SHINE
A lot of premium workshops return their customer’s cars freshly washed
Providing a complimentary car wash often generates greater gratitude and appreciation than shaving hundreds of dollars of profit off a service/ repair bill. Meguiar’s says that adding a tyre dressing is an absolute must as it is that finishing touch that takes any car wash from pretty good to pretty perfect. It says what customers don’t appreciate is when you use a cheap, nasty tyre dressing that flings all up the side of their car – especially when it starts attracting unsightly dirt and road grime. Meguiar’s says its Hot Shine Tyre Shine is super quick and super easy to apply thanks to its trigger action spray applicator. It reportedly gives tyres a deep, black wet look, and thanks to its higher solids content, it lasts for weeks, instead of days – even after rain and regular washing. Meguiar’s says it doesn’t sling off and end up all over the paint, explaining that it has highly waterresistant polymers combined with patented antiozonant technology to keep your tyres looking blacker longer, while preventing cracking, browning and premature ageing. As such, Meguiar’s Hot Shine Tyre Shine not only keeps tyres looking all shiny and nice, but it also keeps them young and resilient. The two-way adjustable trigger nozzle (narrow spray and wide spray) makes a potentially messy job so much neater and cleaner and also gives you the necessary control to dial in the spray pattern to suit short-sided, low-profile tyres, all the way up to tall SUV and offroad monsters. Also, by varying the amount of product applied, you can vary the level of gloss. And if you happen to add too much product, Meguiar’s says that is no problem as any excess is easily buffed off with a cloth. For more information, visit www.meguiars.com.au
MOREY OIL HUB OIL LUBRICANT
Within the commercial trucking industry there are many vehicles that run oil filled hubs
Morey Oil says the main reason people like oil bath hubs over grease hubs is the oil bath hubs have a less involved maintenance schedule than greaseable hubs which require daily maintenance. Steering axles and oil filled hubs hold minimal amounts of oil, and left untreated this oil can tend to burn quickly. Standard oil has more of a chance of experiencing a higher temperature, resulting in burning of the oil. If this happens you will then have the risk of hardening your seals. Once your oil is burnt you now have a less effective oil, and an underperforming oil is not going to lubricate to the specifications it should and can cause considerable damage to your bearings. Once your oil is burnt, it starts to harden your seals and these seals will start to crack and leak. Leaking seals are a common cause to damaged bearings and damaged axles as there is not enough oil in the system to lubricate, leaving you with costly repairs. Morey Oil says that when choosing an oil filled hub, you should use Morey’s Hub Oil Lubricant because you should go with a brand you can trust. It states Morey Oil have put together the perfect blend of specialty oils and oil conditioners designed to improve the life of the Oil Filled Hubs. It explains that Morey’s Hub Oil Lubricant has been specifically designed to assist in better lubrication, lower oil temperature, reduce seal leaks, reduce oil loss, help to rejuvenate older seals, extend wear life, keep new seals newer for a longer period of time, and also prolong your bearing life. Morey’s Hub Oil Lubricant can also be used in steering axles and boat trailer oil filled hubs. The Morey Oil website carries information about Morey’s Hub Oil Lubricant and other lubrication products you may need, or you can contact Morey Oil’s Brisbane Head Office for information or the details of your nearest re-seller.

CHANGE TRANSMISSION OIL WITH CONFIDENCE
Transmissions, including the transmission oil, are subject to wear and tear
In order to optimise service life and performance, ZF Aftermarket recommends regular checks, and where necessary, regular transmission oil changes too. The cycles for transmission oil changes depend on the design of the transmission itself, and its configuration within the vehicle. For example, in operating conditions with high temperatures and loads, or when a vehicle’s usage is unknown, ZF recommends changing the transmission oil at shorter intervals. In case of doubt, the service instructions of the vehicle manufacturer must be observed. ZF transmissions are generally designed for an average vehicle service life, as is the transmission oil. ZF says its automatic transmissions are filled maintenance-free with specially developed partially synthetic ATF oils; however, due to the many factors that can influence the service life of transmissions in individual operation, ZF recommends – when using ZF LifeguardFluid – an oil change after 150,000 kilometres (at the latest) for its transmissions. ZF LifeguardFluid
If a transmission oil change is required, ZF recommends workshops use ZFLifeguardFluid oil and oil change kits. As ZF manufactures both transmissions and transmission oils, it says it understands how the two work together and customises oils specifically to the transmission’s requirements. ZF LifeguardFluid is a premium grade lubricant that headlines the ZF Aftermarket range of transmission oils. ZF LifeguardFluid has been developed to deliver maximum transmission performance so that passengers enjoy smoother gearshifts and the vehicle enjoys optimised fuel economy and reduced wear on components, thus decreasing maintenance and operating costs. ZF Aftermarket explains that it additionally markets a range of premium quality oils suited to the broad spectrum of vehicles on our roads. These specialised ZF Aftermarket transmission lubricants contain a matched combination of high-quality base oils and special additives, which delivers excellent lubrication and friction properties even under the most extreme of operating conditions. ZF LifeguardFluid oils are available for four, five, six, seven, eight and nine speed applications in a variety of sizes, depending on the application.

MANAGING YOUR WORKSHOP MORE EFFICIENTLY
A major burden of workshops is requiring so many different engine oils at any one time. Valvoline recently introduced the Valvoline Professional Multi-Vehicle 5W-30 engine oil which is exclusive to workshops. The new engine oil is intended to rationalise workshop engine oil requirements and is designed to service the fastest growing segment in the Australian automotive marketplace. The Multi-Vehicle engine oil comes in 20L, 60L and 208L drums. Catering to over 45 percent of Australian vehicles sold since 2009
Many cars on the Australian car park are late model Japanese and Korean cars. According to V Facts, last year these brands accounted for 70 percent of the top 10 brands sold and over 45 percent of all new car sales in Australia – that is over 4.5 million petrol and diesel vehicles sold over the past 10+ years. Many of these vehicles can now be serviced with the Valvoline Professional Multi-Vehicle 5W-30 engine oil. The Multi-Vehicle engine oil will suit Petrol vehicles that specify SAE 5W-30 requiring API SN PLUS, SN, SM or earlier. In addition, Valvoline Professional Multi-Vehicle 5W-30 engine oil contains Mid SAP’s technology. This means it is ideal for use in various Japanese and Korean diesel vehicles fitted with DPFs. Many of these vehicles can now be serviced with the Valvoline Professional Multi-Vehicle 5W-30 engine oil where the vehicle specifies SAE 5W-30 requiring ACEA C2 or ACEA C3. Protects against LSPI and improves fuel economy
Valvoline Professional Multi-Vehicle 5W-30 engine oil meets the API SN PLUS specification which protects against Low Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI). LSPI is an abnormal, uncontrolled combustion event that can occur in modern Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) and Turbo Gasoline Direct Injection (TGDI) engines. In some cases, this can result in catastrophic engine failure. Research suggests that LSPI most commonly occurs during rapid acceleration and in GDI and TGDI engines operating in low speed and high load driving conditions. Another benefit of the Valvoline Professional Multi-Vehicle 5W-30 engine oil is that it can improve fuel economy up to 1.5 percent in certain vehicles. It also protects engines from wear by up to 72 percent when compared to standard engine oils. Helping to improve your workshop
Valvoline says that not only does the Valvoline Professional Multi-Vehicle 5W-30 engine oil service the fastest growing segment in the Australian automotive marketplace, it can rationalise up to five engine oils from the Valvoline range. This means workshops could save time in choosing which oil to use and improve workshop efficiencies by potentially holding less stock. The one engine oil could mean less oil storage space on the workshop floor, leading to greater efficiency. For more information on the Valvoline Full Synthetic Professional Multi-Vehicle 5W-30 engine oil, speak with your local Valvoline representative or contact Customer Service on 1800 458 237.
GET AN OCTANE BOOST
X-1R Engine Oil Treatment comes with a free Octane Booster
Burg Design – the exclusive Australian distributors of X-1R products – says that X-1R Performance Products have been developed, proven and used daily by the NASA Space Technology team. Over 21 years ago, NASA faced a very serious situation and closure when the traction bearings in the Shuttle Crawler broke down. Soon after, Burg Design explains the engineers and industrial chemists at NASA and the X-1R Corporation got together to see if they could develop a unique lubricating grease that could help resolve this major problem, and the rest is history – soon after NASA and the X-1R Corporation joined forces in the development of what Burg Design calls “the most technological and proven range of lubricants in the world.” Burg Design says the program isn’t just useful when it comes to space exploration, with major vehicle makers such as Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai and Proton using X-1R additives in engines and transmissions.
It says X-1R products are well known around the world as “the most tested and proven range of additives money can buy.” To prove a point of how effective X-1R really is, Burg Design says it has now released a new trial pack of the famous Engine Treatment that includes a free bottle of Octane Booster. It says when these two products are added to the engine oil and the petrol fuel tank you can not only hear the difference, but you can also actually feel the difference too with more power, reduced fuel consumption and a much quieter and smoother running engine. X-1R Products are on display at the Smithsonian Institute Hall of Fame Washington, DC, USA as well as the Kennedy Space Centre.

PERFECT FOR HIGH-STRESS SITUATIONS
Mobil 1 5W-50 is said to be ‘number one’ for high-stress applications
Over the last 20-plus years, the automotive industry trend towards ever thinner engine oils has continued, with the OEMs typically opting for viscosities like 5W-40 and 5W-30 – both of which are now commonplace. Mobil 1 always advises using the OEM specification, however, in older cars that have racked a tonne of miles (and have experienced noticeable engine wear), it says it has been shown they can benefit from using a thicker oil like Mobil 1 5W-50 FS X2. A 5W-50 is also said to be ideal for classic and collector cars, along with motorsport and punishing driving conditions such as heavy towing. Mobil 1 5W-50 is safe for use in engines operated under brutal conditions and high operating temperatures. Even under sustained temperatures of up to 235 degrees Celsius, it reportedly does not suffer from oxidation or breaking down. Mobil 1 says this makes it ideal for use in competition race engines, along with high-output, turbocharged applications where high-boost levels and extreme temperatures are maintained for extended periods of time. Mobil 1 explains that as with all of its lubricants, this advanced full synthetic motor oil delivers excellent all-round protection and will keep your engine running like new – even during service intervals as long as 15,000km. Mobil 1 5W-50’s proprietary blend of ultra-high performance synthetic base stocks is said to not only prevent deposits and sludge build-up for long and clean engine life, but also delivers an exceptionally broad viscosity range – and will maintain that range for the entirety of a typical service interval. Mobil 1 says this enables Mobil 1 5W-50 FS X2 to deliver unrivalled protection at the extremes of low and high temperatures, as well as under high load, high stress conditions, while simultaneously minimising frictional losses for maximum fuel efficiency and maximum horsepower. It states it is ideal for use in high-performance turbo-charged and supercharged petrol engines, along with certain diesel multi-valve fuel injected engines as found in passenger cars, SUVs, light vans and trucks.

BAD FUEL KILLS ENGINES
Trico Products Australia says Sta-bil is the solution for fuel degradation and oxidation
Any fuel, be it petrol, diesel, or heating fuel, is made up of many different organic compounds. These organic compounds are constantly changing over time. They can react with oxygen and other elements in the environment and form new molecules that build up to form gummy residues or varnish-like films that can clog up passages in fuel lines, carburetors, and injectors. Stored fuel can begin to break down in as little as three months. One way to avoid fuel breaking down is to completely drain the fuel tank and fuel lines. However, it is virtually impossible to get every drop of fuel out of the system by simply draining. Draining the fuel also exposes the metal in the tank and fuel system to air and moisture, which could result in rust and corrosion forming, gaskets drying out and cracking, and fuel leaks. Drained fuel is a fire and safety hazard, and properly disposing of this fuel is difficult. For all these reasons, Trico Products Australia says draining is not the solution. Instead, it presents Sta-Bil – a blend of scientific additives that act together to prevent fuel from undergoing degradation and oxidation during prolonged storage. Trico Products Australia explains that Sta-Bil acts as a protective wrapper around fuel molecules so they cannot combine with oxygen or other molecules to form new “bad actor” molecules. The “sweetened” fuel will perform its job just like it’s brand new. The average fuel is reportedly extended from three months oxidation life to 15 months with Sta-Bil. According to Trico Products Australia, Sta-Bil is four to nine times more effective than any other products claiming to extend fuel life according to accepted standard fuel stability tests IASTM D5251. Trico Products Australia says any engine stored for 90 days or more needs Sta-Bil, including all twocycle or four-cycle engines used in lawnmowers, motorcycles, chain saws, recreation vehicles, garden tillers and so on. To use, just add Sta-Bil to the fuel, agitate the fuel tank if possible, and then start and run the engine for five minutes or more. After that, simply shut off the engine and store the equipment away. Sta-bil is available in three handy sizes - 118ml (treats 38 litres), 236ml (treats 76 litres) and 473ml (treats 150 litres). Sta-Bil is distributed exclusively by Trico Products Australia. For more information and stockists, visit www.sta-bil.com.au or call 03 9271 3288.
