Purple Coolant and Vehicle Compatibility
Skip to content Main Navigation Social Connect Resources Our Brand Family Published: Coolant color can provide a clue about formulation, but it should not determine the replacement.

How Much Does a Dependent Reduce Taxes on a Paycheck? Original
Claiming a dependent does not reduce the taxes taken from each paycheck by a fixed amount. Instead, dependents may make you eligible for federal tax credits, and accounting for those credits on Form W-4 can change how much federal income tax your employer withholds. The impact that ultimately has on your paycheck depends on factors including your income, filing status, eligible credits and how you complete your W-4.

How Drilled Rotors Boost Braking
Skip to content Main Navigation Social Connect Resources Our Brand Family Published: Drilled brake rotors can be a smart recommendation for customers looking to improve braking performance. The holes increase airflow through the rotor, helping dissipate heat more effectively during braking. Remind customers that solid rotors are commonly used on rear applications, vented rotors improve cooling, while slotted rotors help clear dust and gases from the braking surface.
Oil Aeration and VVT Performance
Skip to content Main Navigation Social Connect Resources Our Brand Family Published: Modern engines with variable valve timing (VVT) rely on engine oil to function as a hydraulic fluid, making aeration a critical concern. Even tiny air bubbles can disrupt VVT operation and affect engine performance. Oil specifications such as Dexos include anti-aeration additives designed to minimize bubbles, helping ensure proper hydraulic function and reliable performance in today’s engines.
Match the Coolant, Not the Color
Skip to content Main Navigation Social Connect Resources Our Brand Family Published: European vehicles often require specialized OAT or HOAT coolant formulations designed to protect aluminum engines and mixed-metal cooling systems from corrosion.

Breaking Down Engine Displacement Conversions
Engine displacement can still trip up customers, especially when comparing CID and liters. CID, or cubic inch displacement, was the original standard, with familiar sizes like 350 or 454. Today, engines are labeled in liters, using a rough conversion of 61 cubic inches per liter. That makes a 350 about 5.7L, though some legacy engines vary slightly.
