As technology advances and vehicles become increasingly sophisticated, it’s easy for customers to be lulled into a false sense of security when it comes to essential vehicle maintenance. Many
Australians don’t realise that urban drive cycles, short trips and stopstart driving can drastically reduce engine oil service life.
Today’s modern engines are designed to deliver higher levels of performance, improved fuel economy and emissions benefits than ever before. Common approaches being introduced are downsizing, turbocharging and gasoline direct injection engines.
Step type automatic transmissions (AT’s) have undergone significant development with increasing gear ratios and longer service intervals, high performance friction materials and complex hydraulic shift systems.

Grease is formed by emulsifying liquid lubricant in a thickening agent like soap. The liquid lubricant in the grease generally is mineral oil or synthetic oil.
ACEA is a European Automobile Constructors’ Association that represents Europe’s 16 major car, van, truck, and bus manufacturers. They are the European equivalent of the American Petroleum Institute (API).
Used oil analysis is typically a scheduled activity for analyzing oil health, oil contamination and machine wear. While the main purpose of an oil analysis program is to verify the lubricant in use is fit for further service, the analysis result is also used to diagnose whether the lubricated machine is operating normally.
