CRP develops new transmission fluid service kits

CRP Automotive has brought together two of its brands – Pentosin and Rein Automotive – to develop three special service kits for transmission fluid service on Audi, BMW and VW vehicles.

The kits feature Pentosin OE approved fluid (ATF1) – a long-life fully synthetic high-performance automatic transmission fluid designed for lifetime application in automatic gearboxes – and Rein Automotive OE quality transmission fluid filters.

The three kits offer differing configurations to fit customer needs.

• Pentosin Kit #1058206-KIT-1 (Audi/VW): Includes 5 Pentosin ATF1 (1L) (OE Part #G052162A2) and 1 Rein Filter Kit (OE Part #01V-398-429)
• Pentosin Kit #1058206-KIT-2 (VW): Includes 5 Pentosin ATF1 (1L) (OE Part #G055025A2) and 1 Rein Filter Kit (OE Part #09G-325-429-A)
• Pentosin Kit #1058206-KIT-3 (BMW): Includes 6 Pentosin ATF1 (1L) (OE Part #83-22-2-220-442) and 1 Rein Filter Kit (OE Part #24-11-7-557-070)

“Transmission fluid services are an important part of regular maintenance and will help increase transmission service life, said Marie Yeager, CRP Automotive product manager, citing the Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association who say, overheating causes 90 per cent of automatic transmission failures, “which can often be attributed to transmission fluid that should have been replaced.”
