Imported cooling system solutions and maintenance
Sponsored by CRP Automotive, the company brings you REIN cars
Have you noticed that many European cars and SUVs no longer have the coolant replacement intervals listed in the service information? This may be because the cooling system needs to be repaired or replaced before this interval. It can be a hose, a plastic connector or a water pump. Your store has options. Some replacement parts may be better than original parts. When dealing with the complexity and longevity of today's vehicles, these parts can create a win-win situation for your store and customers.
These solutions can simplify maintenance and prevent future failures. In a 45-minute webinar sponsored by CRP Automotive, the company that brought you Rein Automotive, we will introduce six common cooling system repairs for BMW, Audi and Volkswagen. These repair solutions will cover more than 6 million cars on the road today.

Oil additives can help decompose, disperse and even wrap carbon deposits and soot. This video is sponsored by FRAM.
CC: Modern engines will not wear out due to the metal pieces on the bearings circulating in the oil. The real cause of wear of piston rings, cylinder walls and bearings is that the carbon particles in the oil are caused by a higher compression ratio, hotter combustion engine.
Some direct injection engines can have a unique timing cycle that can increase compression, temperature, and valve exposure to the combustion chamber. This puts more pressure on the oil. If the oil does not meet the specifications specified by the manufacturer, the oil may cause carbon deposits. This is why manufacturers have introduced more new oil specifications in the past decade.
Oil additives can help decompose, disperse and even coat carbon deposits and soot. However, over time, all oil and additive packages will decompose and lose their carbon deposit control effect. The service life depends on the quality of the oil and the pressure of the engine on the oil.
These soot particles can enter the engine oil. Although a soot particle does not cause abrasion, a mass of soot particles can cause abrasion. The additives in the oil keep the soot particles in suspension, so they do not agglomerate. Soot can also cause oil to become mud. The oil filter can help filter out carbon or soot particles to prevent them from damaging the engine. The extended interval oil filters are designed with larger capacity and higher efficiency, so they can handle more soot and sludge in the extended oil change interval without entering the bypass mode. Some filter manufacturers have specific filter series whose service life is longer than the recommended interval.
