Even when budgets are tight, customers cannot neglect their vehicles beyond a point of no return. As their trusted technician, you hold the cards… by choosing top tier, trade-trusted, trade-tested additives, you continue to add value and another income stream to your business. Modern-day additives are no longer the poor relation at the party. With the global movement of ‘repair over replace’ and ‘products over parts’, they’re on the VIP list. By choosing JLM Lubricants, you’re voting for a highly respected global brand with a strong UK foothold. Regular oil changes are essential for maintaining good engine operation, improving efficiency, and preventing expensive repair bills. Are you including engine oil additives with your regular service so customers can keep their vehicles on the road for longer, at a lower running cost? Check out the following professional grade global bestsellers from JLM. Engine oil flush This should be close to hand at every oil change. It helps clean out stubborn deposits in the oil system. When fresh oil is added, it operates efficiently, helping to protect and extend engine life. JLM’s Engine Oil Flush is compatible with all oil types and safe for use with wet belt engines. Stop smoke oil treatment Blue smoke from the exhaust of a high-mileage engine is a clear sign that oil isn’t burning off properly; usually due to worn piston rings and valve seals. For some customers, the age of their vehicle means the cost of a strip down repair isn’t economically viable. A superior quality additive can reduce oil blow-by and oil consumption, helping to improve efficiency and extend vehicle life. Use JLM’s Stop Smoke Treatment at oil change or in between services. Engine oil stop leak As engines age, oil seals begin to lose their flexibility. The problem worsens when engines and oil changes are not properly maintained. Superior quality oil seal additives help restore the seals, which reduce or eliminate exhaust oil smoke. JLM’s Stop Smoke additive also helps with oil pressure and cylinder compression. Friction reducers oil treatment Hard working high load, older engines benefit from additional friction reduction. A quality friction reducing additive will help at cold start up and under heavy loads, keeping the engine oil stable for longer and preventing unwanted corrosion and thermal oxidisation. Look for particulate (solid) free formulations such as JLM’s Bortec Oil Additive which is also safe for use with wet belt engines. To keep workshop bills manageable and not at the expense of your high standards, reach for our additives. Not used JLM before?
