FRAM® Oil And Fuel Additives Drive Vehicle Longevity And Performance
SEMA/AAPEX SHOW, LAS VEGAS, Oct. 31, 2006 —Most of us want a long and healthy life. If cars could talk, they'd ask for the same thing.
To help improve comfort for drivers and car passengers, FRAM®, leaders in filtration, is teaming up with ARM & HAMMER® to introduce the new FRAM Fresh Breeze™ Cabin Air Filter. Together, these two brands have created the first automotive cabin air filter that not only filters contaminants like road dust and pollen, but also absorbs odors using the power of baking soda.
The FRAM® team offers a line of products specially formulated for today’s driving conditions and extended oil change intervals: FRAM® Performance Series Oil Treatment and Stabilizer™, FRAM® Performance Series Synthetic Oil Treatment and Stabilizer™ and FRAM® Performance Series Fuel Treatment and Booster™.
Staying on top of regularly scheduled maintenance and tune-ups is a good way to ensure a long and healthy life for your car. Between those “check-up” visits, using oil additives is an excellent option to help protect the engine, maintain engine cleanliness, and potentially extend vehicle life.
Using oil additives is like giving vitamins to engine oil, protecting the engine between oil changes, reducing oil breakdown, combating engine rust and corrosion, and conditioning seals to reduce leaks. In addition, fuel additives can help improve acceleration by cleaning fouled fuel injectors and deposits in the system.
"For many people, buying a car is a significant financial investment," said Ken Gaynor, FRAM product manager. "Additives like FRAM Oil Treatment and Stabilizer and FRAM Fuel Treatment and Booster can help extend a vehicle's life and enable drivers to increase their return on investment."
Both FRAM Oil Treatment and Stabilizer and FRAM Synthetic Oil Treatment and Stabilizer neutralize acids to reduce oil breakdown, combat internal engine rust and corrosion, and help maintain engine cleanliness with detergents. These products are designed to operate under tough driving conditions, protect engines, and condition seals to reduce leaks.
FRAM Fuel Treatment and Booster is a premium fuel additive that helps improve acceleration by cleaning deposits in the fuel system, especially those that foul fuel injectors. This product combines synthetic detergent technology with the added benefit of increasing octane up to five points*, helping to stop knocks and pings.
Consumers and installers can find FRAM offers instructions and more information about its products on its Web site, www.fram.com.
* In regular, unleaded gasoline, one point is equal to 0.1 octane number [(R+M)/2].
