Course Title: The Rapidly Changing World of Fuels, Fluids & Lubrication

Course Description: The continuing progression of alternative lubrication technologies is changing the reality of “viscosity”. It’s a whole new world. From cooling flooded battery packs with a new generation of dielectric coolants, to maximizing Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systems with a new generation of brake fluids, to the next generation of efforts to control pre-ignition, the constant change continues. Ignoring the new Class 6 and Class 7 categories of DOT 4 brake fluid can lead to huge civil and criminal liability for shop owners and Technicians. Mega-Knock is already driving accelerated development of ILSAC GF-7 & GF-8. SAE 0W-8 and 0W-12 are already here and grossly misunderstood. This class addresses the myths, mysteries and realities of modern fuels, fluids and lubrication that Technicians of today must face.
