Mobil Super 3000 XE3 5W-30 All-In-One Protection is a low-ash, high-performance motor oil designed to help prolong the life and maintain the efficiency of vehicle exhaust emission reduction systems. It works in both diesel- and gasoline-powered automobiles.
It is formulated with ‘heat activated anti-wear’ molecules designed to provide superior engine protection in high temperatures, while also keeping an engine clean. Mobil Super 3000 XE3 5W30 helps maintain the efficiency of the exhaust emission reduction systems in both diesel and gasoline vehicles. It also permits extended operation at elevated temperatures without oxidative oil thickening and oil breakdown. It provides excellent fluidity at low temperatures, allowing easy winter starting and rapid oil circulation around the engine. Mobil Super 3000 XE3 5W-30 helps with long-term engine protection by reducing wear, and sludge and deposit build-up.
This product is suitable for use in both gasoline and diesel engine passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. It is compatible with the latest gasoline and diesel particulate filters and catalytic converters. Mobil Super 3000 XE3 5W-30 ‘All-In-One Protection’ has been developed to meet the latest specifications for engine oils required by major car manufacturers.
Mobil Super 3000 is recommended for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles or vans requiring ACEA C2/C3, and/or API SN, but ExxonMobil advises checking the owner’s manual for the recommended viscosity grade for each particular vehicle.
ZF AFTERMARKET INTRODUCES MECHATRONIC TRANSMISSION SERVICE KITS, A NEW OFFERING THAT BUNDLES ALL NEEDED PARTS FOR SERVICING ZF TRANSMISSION MECHATRONICS.
The kit’s 19 SKU’s cover a range of Audi, Land Rover, BMW, and other manufacturers’ passenger car and SUV models.
Submerged in oil inside of the transmission, the mechatronic component stores critical data for diagnostics and signals how much pressure should be applied to a specific clutch and gear. Replacing the unit’s seals, regulators and dampeners – which can be degraded by oil over time – can extend the life of the transmission by as much as 95,000kms.
In addition to a guide sleeve, seals and pressure regulators, the kit offers mechatronic dampeners for the first time which absorb the impact of oil pressure variations during gear changes and help ensure smooth transitions in shifting. As new oil will have different characteristics to the old degraded oil in the gearbox, resetting the mechatronics components to the original condition is a critical step in restoring transmissions to OE standards.
Says Mark Cali, Head of Independent Aftermarket, USC at ZF Aftermarket: “The mechatronic is the ‘brain’ of the transmission, and with this bundled kit, we’re making it easier than ever for vehicle technicians to service it properly, ensuring optimal results that restore the transmission to like-new performance.”
The ZF mechatronic component stores critical diagnostics data. It signals how much pressure should be applied to a specific clutch and gear. ZF has introduced its mechatronic service kit which bundles all the components needed for servicing mechatronics on ZF transmissions, a critical step in restoring the transmission to OE standards.
