Type: ISO Class 6 Dot 4 Brake Fluid Specifications: Meets FMVSS 571.116, DOT 4/DOT 3, SAE J1703 as well as ISO 4925, Class 6 specifications. Volume: 1 Liter The optimal brake fluid for electronic brake systems Since the introduction of ESP, brake fluid must decelerate individual wheels in fractions of a second in order to stabilize the vehicle in critical situations (e. g. a skid). The development of particularly thin bodied brake fluids such as Original ATE SL.6 have been essential in ensuring the rapid response times required for ESP can be attained. The requirement for such fluids has already been incorporated into the design of the ESP system. With conventional brake fluids the system’s reaction times (in critical situations) may be several times longer than with Original ATE SL.6. In practice this may mean that the system cannot stabilize the vehicle. Advantages of Original ATE SL.6

Product Features:
  • Low viscosity (thin-bodied)
  • Permits fastest response by ESP
  • Optimum brake fluid for electronic brake systems like ESP, ABS, TCS, etc.
  • Improved handling safety owing to speedy response of ESP

75,000 miles is more than a mile marker. It’s a signal that your engine is ready for greater protection. That’s when you need Valvoline High Mileage with MaxLife Technology Motor Oil. Its exclusive formula is proven to maximize engine life in cars, trucks, and SUVs with over 75,000 miles. Our mixture is specially developed with a unique combination of synthetic and premium conventional oils to protect your high-mileage motor against wear, friction, heat, and deposits – the four major causes of engine breakdown and expensive repairs. Anti-wear additives defend critical engine components, advanced friction-fighting agents reduce heat and abrasion, added detergents clean the inside of your engine, and premium seal conditioners handle aging seals to prevent leaks. It fights sludge, corrosion and rust that can rob your engine of horsepower, fuel efficiency and longevity. From extreme temperatures and cold starts to stop-and-go traffic and frequent short trips, viscosity modifiers make sure the oil flows more easily, coats more completely, and resists thermal breakdown under even the most intense driving conditions. Its unique mixture curbs contaminants to keep high-mileage engines from burning and consuming oil that can foul spark plugs, creating higher emissions and causing your motor to run roughly.

Product Features:
  • Maxlife technology prevents engine breakdown with 40% better wear protection than the industry standard
  • Refresh aging seals and prevent leaks with seal conditioners
  • Reduce sludge, deposits, corrosion, and rust with added detergents – keep motors clean inside
  • Enhanced friction performance helps maximize power with advanced friction-fighting agents
