Rislone announced its new
link hidden, please login to view (p/n 4400), which it said improves oil performance to eliminate dry starts, reduce friction and wear, prevent oil breakdown and extend engine life. “Its concentrated formula delivers legendary Rislone Hy-per Lube performance in a compact, easy-to-use, and shelf-friendly bottle,” the company added. Hy-per Lube Engine Supplement is a premium additive blend formulated to work with all motor oils, including conventional, high-mileage, and synthetic, to make older, high-mileage, and high-performance engines run better and last longer than they would with oil alone, according to

Rislone said it previously offered the supplement in a one-quart bottle, making it easy to swap a quart of oil for a quart of Hy-per Lube at every oil change. Now that most consumers buy oil in larger jugs, Rislone added it took the opportunity to reduce the package size — and the price. Concentrating the formula enabled Rislone to package it in a 16.9 oz. bottle without diluting performance. The smaller bottle also reduces packaging waste and storage space.
“Adding Hy-per Lube Engine Supplement to petroleum or synthetic oils turns them into hyper-performance lubricants that deliver heavy-duty protection for all driving demands across a wide range of engine and vehicle types,” said Clay Parks, Rislone vice president of development. “In these days of high prices, we’re proud to have found a way to lower ours. Our concentrated formula saves consumers money at the counter and in years to come by helping their engines last longer.”

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.”

The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) said more than 8,400 automotive service professionals participated in its gasoline engine survey. ASE has been commissioned to conduct a series of studies to identify and understand which repair tasks automotive service technicians perform most frequently.
The initial survey focused on gasoline engine repair tasks and showed that 57% of those who completed the survey are currently A1 certified or were in the past, and 76% hold one or more ASE A2-A8 automotive certifications. A majority of those respondents hold each of those respective certifications.
Regarding training, technicians receive training from a variety of sources including on the job (79%), OEM training (69%), college (57%), high school (53%) and aftermarket (47%). Among those who completed the survey, 82% said they have 10 or more years of experience and 57 percent said ASE certifications factored into their pay plans.
As a thank you to those who participated in the survey, five automotive service professionals were randomly selected to be awarded Snap-on gift cards. The winners are Andrew Cronin Sr., David Kaplanis, Jeramy Peterson, David Phillips and Calen Sober-Throop.
