Aftermarket Magazine November 2025

Exhausts, CATS and accessories 45 www.aftermarketonline.net NOVEMBER 2025 Go back 15 years and the idea that additives could sometimes fill the space reserved for a part would have been dismissed as laughable. Yet today we have trade-trusted additives at the top table. The global shift from parts to products and to repairing vehicles over replacing them, has ushered in a new way of working for technicians — where saving time in the workshop without sacrificing standards — is critical. And with motorists delaying services, mechanics are offering solutions, mindful of how long they spend on a vehicle. “Nowhere is this more evident than in the tricky arena of DPF cleaning,” said Mike Schlup, MD of Kalimex, the UK distributor of the JLM Lubricants range of trade-trusted additives. “Traditionally mechanics have had to remove the DPF from the vehicle for cleaning with significant investment in machinery. Many still do — or send it to a specialist. However, with training and a modest investment in kit, they can clean even the dirtiest DPF on the vehicle.” JLM Lubricants’ additives are renowned for extending the life of parts. For example, the JLM Emission reduction treatment and our range of DPF products will extend the life of the DPF and the catalytic converter. It’s our job to convey the superiority of these formulas compared to the cheap-as-chips products found in the supermarket, said Schlup. “Additives are here to stay. It’s about ensuring the right ones make their way into the workshop.” For more information visit www. jlmlubricants.co.uk or call 01273 891162.
