CARING FOR YOUR CAR -
PQIA Adds Automatic Transmission Fluids to its Motor Oil Timeline
COPIES OF TIMELINE NOW AVAILABLE, See below

In an effort to help raise awareness about the importance of motor oil specifications, the Petroleum Quality Institute of America developed an easy to understand visual timeline illustrating the vintage of vehicles associated with each specification.

Whereas PQIA initially designed the timeline to help educate consumers, we heard from many lubricant marketers and blenders saying the timeline provided them with a valuable sales tool when explaining specifications to their customers. Further, they asked PQIA to add Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) to the timeline. We did, and copies of the timeline are now available on request.

 

So help us, help you educate consumers. Contact PQIA at tglenn@pqia.org to request copies of the timeline.  Or call 732-201-4033.
