It works on all types of diesel fuel injectors, diesel engine technologies and diesel fuel types (ultra-low sulfur diesel, bio diesel and bio diesel blends). It is available in 20 ounce bottles that treat up to 35 gallons.

Techron Diesel offers the assurance and convenience of a one-minute pour-in add-on service, a natural complement to any diesel motor oil change service offered by professional installers.

Solo Annual Interval

To meet the growing demand for motor oil that provides longer-lasting protection and performance, Mobil 1 recently launched Mobil 1 Annual Protection, which offers one full year or up to 20,000 miles between oil changes.

Available in 0W-20, 5W-20 and 5W-30 viscosities, Mobil 1 Annual Protection uses the latest fully synthetic technology from Mobil 1 to offer guaranteed engine protection for one full year. Mobil 1 Annual Protec

tion has been specifically formulated to offer maximum wear protection, as well as increase resistance to oil breakdown and protect engine parts from harmful sludge and deposits, resulting in extended engine life.

Engineers at Mobil 1’s world-class technical center in Paulsboro, N.J., conducted extensive testing on Mobil 1 Annual Protection to ensure it could stand up to the most rigorous driving conditions. Over the course of a simulated six-year period, three vehicles – a Lexus NX 200t, Ford Fusion and Chevy Malibu – were each driven 120,000 miles, replicating extreme conditions, with the oil changed every 20,000 miles.

At the end of the 120,000-mile test, the engineers dismantled the engines and found them to still be of brand-new factory quality, including the bearings. The cylinder heads showed no visible signs of sludge, while the turbochargers, one of the hottest parts of the engine, showed no signs of oil degradation or buildup.

Drain Away

In an on-going effort to increase customer productivity, JohnDow Industries has added an additional oil drain to its extensive line of drains and fluid handling equipment. The JDI-18DC 18-Gallon Self-Evacuating Portable Oil Drain fills an industry need for a quality, mid-sized, economical product.

The new oil drain includes Auto Check, a user-friendly feature found only on JohnDow Self-Evacuating oil drains. Auto Check technology eliminates the confusing procedure of opening and closing manual ball valves with its automatic pressure valve located at the bottom of the down tube. Additional features include an 18-gallon steel tank, a six-foot discharge hose, a pressure relief safety valve, OSHA friendly labeling along with a reinforced 16-foot deep drawn centered funnel. The four-caster design provides superior stability and mobility. The drain is also height adjustable and weighs 42 pounds.

The pressure relief safety valve provides added safety by preventing the tank from over-pressurizing. Once the optimum evacuation is reached in the tank, the safety valve will relieve any excess pressure. The four three-inch swivel casters make this drain easy to move and position under a vehicle. The casters are made of an oil- and chemical-resistant material that gives them an extended service life. The 16-inch deep drawn funnel makes it easier to accurately position to catch every bit of oil.
