Why Motul UK has launched additive kits
Once the “products of the dark arts” in the automotive aftermarket, according to Andy Wait, sales and marketing manager at Motul UK, additives are now one of the fastest growing product areas in the aftermarket. Andy reveals why this is “no surprise”, as well as what its additive kits offer.
Today our fuels and our lubricants owe much of their ability to deliver performance due to the additives they contain. Additives as a product group in the automotive sector continue to grow, and more and more people are coming to understand how additives can help ensure their vehicles run optimally and extend the efficient working life of the engine.
As technical leaders in automotive lubrication, Motul has a first-rate knowledge of what additives can deliver both for you, the factor, and for the enduser. Our extensive experience in the additive sector has led to the development of our latest, refined additive offerings.
For 2024, we are proud to present targeted solutions tailored to various needs. We have also expanded our range to make selecting additives easier than ever. We have implemented clear divisions within additive categories, coupled with innovative technology, resulting in an expanded selection of products for 2024.
This selection of additives allows you to provide customers – whether for workshop, or for retail – with efficient solutions for greater performance, conformity and reliability. With some great point of sale and marketing material to back-up the range, the good news is that it is now easier than ever to make additives a profitable revenue stream than ever before.
Motul introduces additive kits
We have launched specific additive kits, to offer an additional sales opportunity. There is an emission reduction kit to help ensure vehicles are in as good a shape as possible for the various requirements of the MOT test, and an engine clean kit. Both come in petrol and diesel versions; we have carefully selected the necessary additives and have packaged them as a ‘bundle’.
Fuel system cleaning
Our fuel additive range integrates detergent molecules, which decrease and even eliminates such fouling.
Petrol system cleaning solutions
Fuel System Clean removes contamination from the entire fuel system and cleans it, while binding moisture and condensed water. GDI Clean offers a thorough cleaning of valves, injector nozzles and the inlet area for direct injection gasoline engines. Valve And Injector Clean for non-direct injection petrol engines removes contamination and keeps injectors clean.
Diesel system cleaning solutions
Diesel System Clean removes contamination, and binds moisture and condensed water throughout the whole system, while DPF Clean maintains the DPF, when used regularly, and supports regeneration.
Dedicated hybrid fuel cleaning solutions
e-FUEL SYSTEM CARE is specifically formulated for use in hybrid petrol/EVs. It stabilises fuel sitting in the tank between refills and protects the engine with its numerous stop/starts, as well as its need to run at higher speeds and loads than on a conventional vehicle.
Oil system cleaning solutions
Engine fouling, due to incomplete fuel combustion in the engine, is not limited to the combustion chamber. It can also contaminate valve lifters and the rest of the cylinder. This fouling hinders the interaction of metallic parts and increases abrasion, causing abnormal wear, which can mean more frequent oil changes, and even cause engine failure. This wear can also damage the oil system, causing leaks. Our oil additive range includes a wide choice of products to decrease and even eliminate fouling, while also stopping leaks.
Engine Clean dissolves contamination and deposits in the oil system, while Engine Oil Stop Leak helps to regenerate engine gaskets, while keeping them soft and supple. Hydraulic Lifter Care prevents pressure loss and reduces worrying noises caused by friction.
