Chevrolet Colorado, servicing doing it RITE!

Image
Recently an owner of Chevrolet Colorado contacted us to make appointment to get his ride service. Upon checking out what he wanted, we analyze what is suitable for his car and provided him with the choices of engine oil for his car.   Customer decided to get his Chevrolet Colorado service using full range of Penrite products with RYCO Oil Filter : PENRITE HPR5 (5W-40) Full Synthetic Engine Oil 6L (Chevrolet Colorado 2.8 needed 5.7L) PENRITE PRO GEAR 75W-90 Full Synthetic Rear Differential Oil 2.5L (Chevrolet Colorado 2.8 needed 2.3L) PENRITE ENGINE FLUSH PENRITE DIESEL INJECTOR CLEANER Before draining out the used oil from the engine, we use PENRITE ENGINE FLUSH. PENRITE Engine Flush is a solvent free, engine cleaning formulation that removes engine deposits, sludge and contaminants with the oil service drain. It contains added zinc for engine wear protection and its fast acting formulation works in 10 minutes. The solvent free formulation protects gask

Why do you have to change your engine oil on a regular basis?

Engine oil breaks down over time. When it breaks down, it loses its effectiveness and can no longer properly protect your engine. In addition to lubricating an engine's moving parts, engine oil is designed for few other purposes:  > To carry combustion by-products away from the pistons and cylinders.  > It is designed to deal with the small amounts of water that form as the engine heats and cools, and to collect the dirt and dust that enter the engine through the air-intake system.  > It also handles acids that are formed by the reaction between water and other contaminants. Sometimes there are even fuel leaks (fuel dilution) or coolant leaks that get into the oil system.  As a car is driven, the level of contamination in the engine oil constantly increases. The oil filter removes particles as the oil passes through the filter, but over time, oil additives are used up and the oil itself can start to degrade (oxidize or thicken). At that point, the oil can no lon

Tein Flex AVS

AVS, available on some of Toyota & Lexus vehicles, normally has to be disabled when the suspensions are replaced with non-OE ones. Well, that is no longer the case! FLEX AVS enables ride height adjustment without deactivating AVS. Newly-designed "AVS Needle" for damping force adjustment makes it possible to provide broader damping force adjustable range within the operating angle of AVS actuator. *Damping force can NOT be adjusted manually. Advantage: adjusting ride height has little effect on ride quality. In addition to combining a low down style with ride comfort, this system offers more setup options for sport driving too. Compared to the regular mono-tube system, twin-tube attains longer stroke with a smaller repulsive force, resulting in high ride comfort. Roads may have all sorts of surface conditions. This calls for shock absorbers with ample stroke, that operate smoothly. Thanks to this unique characteristic,

Making Toyota Land Cruiser Prado TRJ150 COMFORT + Stable!

Back in 2019, an owner of a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado TRJ150 came to us.  He wanted us to help make his car more comfortable & stable to drive. He heard that Ultra Racing can help to make car more stable & comfortable.  Unfortunately, Ultra Racing does not make any product for this car model. March 2020, customer return again asking if there's anyway we can help him to improve his driving experience.  Upon some research, we recommended him TEIN 4 X 4 Damper Sport. After some explanation & presentation, customer agreed to proceed with our proposal.  There we have it, our next project!  Sourcing for the product wasn't easy.  We had to get it all the way from Japan because local 'supplier' are selling at exorbitant price that will take away all of our margin that we needed to continue to provide SERVICE to our customers.  After much sourcing and troubles to get it here, hence we have the TEIN 4 X 4 Damper Sport ready for our customer.
