link hidden, please login to viewnews release announcing the product launch explained that a flywheel, which is the interface between the engine and clutch, is bolted to the engine and spins when in operation. The clutch cover, which is bolted to the flywheel, also spins, and the driven disc of the clutch engages against the flywheel, which over time can cause wear. “Today’s manufacturers recommend that flywheels should be replaced, rather than the previous practice of resurfacing worn flywheels,” said Leandro Girardi, director, aftermarket, Eaton’s Mobility Group. “This ensures the flywheel fits correctly to engage with the clutch, and prevents fault codes, excessive wear and vibrations.”
Eaton said its Advantage Automated clutch is the original equipment clutch used in the Endurant transmission.

There is nothing simple about complex engine oil formulations. Effectively explaining to your customer how Valvoline’s Restore & Protect motor oil removes and prevents engine deposits may seem like a tough task.
Dr. Michael Warholic, global technology director for Valvoline Global Operations, emphasizes the importance of visual evidence
“Hey, look how this product performs,” said Warholic. “We have visuals showing that there’s a removal of deposits, that there is a reversing of the aging process in an engine. That’s a great case story to tell.”
Warholic talks with Babcox Content Director Jason Morgan about the formulation process that sets Restore & Protect apart. The process involves a balance of various additives and components, tested rigorously in both laboratory and real-world conditions. It also involves combining base oils, viscosity modifiers, and a unique blend of additives. These additives include detergents to clean deposits, friction modifiers to reduce engine strain, and antioxidants to combat the breakdown of oil components. The goal was to create a motor oil that not only prevents the formation of new deposits but also removes existing ones, effectively rejuvenating the engine.
“We wanted to do something different than everybody else,” said Warholic. “That’s what Restore and Protect does. It differentiates us from our competitors. It does something that no other oil does in the marketplace right now.”
Restore & Protect could be considered a new category of motor oil that bridges the gap between conventional oils and high-mileage formulations. While high-mileage oils are designed for older engines, Restore & Protect is suitable for both new and aging engines. Its dual function of preventing new deposits and reversing existing ones makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of vehicles.
This innovation is particularly valuable for engines operating under severe conditions, such as those used for towing or in high-traffic areas. The oil’s ability to handle these demanding environments while maintaining engine cleanliness offers a significant advantage over standard motor oils.
“There’s always engine oil. Formulating is a little bit about give and take. The engine is a very complex machine. You have different temperatures, different pressures. It is really a very interesting field when you start digging into it.”
“We do tons of data-driven testing. That’s what we live for.”
