Oils, lubes and additives 39 www.aftermarketonline.net FEBRUARY 2025 Cold weather presents unique obstacles to engine efficiency. In low temperatures, engines take longer to reach optimal operating conditions, often leading to incomplete fuel combustion, reduced efficiency and increased carbon build-up in critical systems. “Left unaddressed, these issues can degrade performance, reduce fuel economy and elevate emissions”, said Maddie Bamber, key account manager at Cataclean. Cataclean’s leading 8-in-1 fuel and exhaust system cleaner is engineered to tackle these challenges head-on. Its advanced blend works to dissolve carbon deposits, protect against corrosion and restore fuel efficiency, making it an essential tool for garages and workshops aiming to optimise vehicle performance during winter. Bamber said: “Selecting the right fuel system cleaner is about more than just quick fixes — it’s about longterm care and protection. Cataclean’s unique formulation doesn’t just clean; it helps maintain peak performance by targeting carbon build-up in engines, injectors and exhaust systems.” By reducing harmful emissions, Cataclean aligns with today’s demand for greener, more sustainable automotive solutions. Plus, as winter conditions can exacerbate wear and tear, Cataclean’s 8-in-1 flagship additive range guards against corrosion, extending the life of critical components. Trusted by technicians and workshops nationwide, Cataclean is a reliable choice for improving engine health and ensuring smooth operation. In an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and promoting environmentally conscious decisions, products like Cataclean enable garages and technicians to take an active role in reducing environmental impact. Bamber said: “With regular use of Cataclean, technicians can help drivers reduce emissions, improve fuel economy and extend vehicle lifespan — all while meeting stricter emissions requirements.” Visit https://cataclean. com/ to find out more.
