link hidden, please login to view announced the Cool Car AC Performance Booster, a five-minute service for quick lube and professional automotive service operators. The company said the Cool Car AC Performance Booster delivers an average vent temperature drop of 12.1 degrees Fahrenheit, lowers cabin humidity and speeds cooling without adding refrigerant. The proprietary thermo-conductive synthetic lubricant is designed to address oil fouling inside the A/C system. According to the company, the treatment improves heat transfer, reduces compressor friction and wear, and may extend compressor service life. The service works with R-1234yf and R-134a systems, does not require A/C certification, and uses a dedicated installation tool.
Cool Car AC Performance Booster Field Adoption
The Cool Car AC Performance Booster has expanded into nearly 500 quick lube locations. Dealers have reported take rates of 5% to 10% of car count. Operators report customer demand driven by peak summer heat and longer vehicle ownership, now averaging more than 12 years on the road. Stores also report additional revenue and repeat visits.
“In my career, I’ve rarely seen a product get this kind of reaction from the field,” said Joe Farr, sales director for Groove Technologies. “Technicians are excited to sell it. Store managers are telling us about customers who’ve left five-star reviews on their Jiffy Lube location websites. In some cases, brought in their second or third vehicle the same day to have the service performed. When you have both fast lube operators and customers this happy, you’ve got a winner.”
Field reports document temperature drops as high as 29 degrees, according to the company. Customers have commented that their A/C feels colder after treatment. One district manager reported a 22-degree drop during a store demonstration and said his team plans to position the service as a key seasonal offering during an expected warm summer across much of the U.S.
Pairing with Cabin Air Filter System
The Cool Car AC Performance Booster can be paired with Groove Technologies’ Qik-FIT Premium Universal Cabin Air Filter System. The company said the combination allows operators to offer an A/C performance package.
The Cool Car AC Performance Booster is available exclusively to professional automotive service providers through a Groove Technologies partnership with Service Champ.

Continental announced that the NightViu premium line of professional driving and working lights will be made available to consumer markets, including off-road enthusiasts, recreational vehicles (RVs) and marine.
Originally designed for use on construction, mining and off-highway equipment, “the NightViu lighting line provides a level of rugged design, durability and performance not normally seen in consumer-lighting products,” according to Continental.
Built to withstand extreme temperatures, vibration, dust and moisture, NightViu lights feature advanced LED technology that provides excellent lighting performance and exceptional energy efficiency, according to the company.
NightViu driving lights provide a focused beam of light for long-distance illumination. They’re ideal for applications such as desert/rally racing or any activity where maximum beam distance is required, Continental noted.
NightViu working lights provide beams that are shorter but wider. This makes them suitable for applications such as rock crawling, lighting up pickup beds and sport fishing boats.
“The NightViu line was created for some of the toughest applications you can imagine including mining, construction and agriculture,” said Edwin Betancourt Jr., product manager, Continental. “Some might consider them over-engineered for consumer applications, but we believe there are folks out there who simply want the best they can get for their lighting. That’s why we’ve decided to make NightViu available for off-road enthusiasts, RV owners, and others who want a professional level light source for their off-road activities. These lights can be used for ATVs, UTVs and SUVs, as well as Jeeps, snowmobiles, work trucks and even riding lawnmowers and go-karts. The build quality and housing seals make them suitable for marine applications as well including blue-water cruising and fishing.”
NightViu working lights are available in a choice of ultra-wide, wide, flood and spot beam patterns.
Each of the beam patterns is offered in a choice of 1,500, 2,500, 3,500 and 4,500 lumen performance for a total of 16 lights in the NightViu range of working lights.
NightViu driving lights are available in a variety of designs and configurations including five light bars, three multifunctional lights and two reversing lights. They provide up to 5,500 lumens and a beam field length of up to 440 meters. The lights feature free-form curved reflectors that direct the light beam exactly where it’s needed.
NightViu Lights are built to withstand temperatures ranging from minus 40 F to 194 F and are rated IP68 for ingress protection (IP) from dust and water. They produce approximately 100 lumens per watt and have been designed to ensure that they do not create electrical interference that could affect the vehicles existing electronics.

Delphi Technologies continues to launch steering and suspension parts across all makes and model years, adding 21 new parts to cover 17 million VIO in Canada and the United States.

Regarding the company’s engine-management portfolio, the product line announced a total of 39 new parts. Sixteen of the new parts are manifold absolute-pressure sensors, bolstering an additional 20 million VIO for the United States across brands such as Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Volkswagen, Dodge and BMW.
