Standard Motor Products Expands Blue Streak Line


Recommended Posts

Standard Motor Products (SMP) announced the expansion of its Blue Streak line.

SMP’s latest Blue Streak product release includes 23 new part numbers in the direct-ignition and variable-valve timing (VVT) categories.

As part of the expansion, SMP introduced new Blue Streak ignition-coil multi-pack kits. These kits include a full set of heavier-duty ignition coils, providing technicians exactly what they need for a complete coil service.

Many of the most popular Blue Streak ignition coils now are available in these multi-packs, with coverage for more than 23 million repair opportunities.

“Blue Streak heavier-duty coils are engineered with improvements and upgrades that continue to elevate Blue Streak products above the competition,” the company said in a news release.

Also added to the Blue Streak lineup are VVT solenoid kits for 2017-2006 General Motors vehicles equipped with the 2.4-liter engine and 2010-1999 Lexus and Toyota vehicles powered by 3-liter and 3.3-liter six-cylinder engines. Each kit includes two premium Blue Streak solenoids, along with the necessary hardware, for a complete VVT solenoid repair solution.

Additionally, nine VVT solenoids, engineered and manufactured at SMP’s Poland facility, will be available in the Blue Streak brand. This adds coverage for more than 21 million vehicles in operation. Blue Streak VVT solenoids feature upgrades that ensure proper application-specific performance and long service life.

“The newest additions to our Blue Streak program are a testament to our commitment to the high level of quality and durability professional technicians have always expected from our Blue Streak brand,” said John Herc, vice president engine management marketing, SMP.

      ENEOS USA Inc. recently announced that ENEOS X Prime 0W-8 fully synthetic motor oil will be available in spring 2023.
      The ultra-low-viscosity 0W-8 was created in partnership with Asian OEMs, which requested the special formulation to meet stringent emissions and economy standards. Not only will ENEOS X Prime 0W-8 oil be supplied to manufacturers for factory-fill requirements, but it also it will be available for oil changes by dealer networks and for DIY maintenance.
      Applications
      ENEOS X Prime 0W-8 is 100% synthetic oil developed in partnership with Asian automakers for use in the latest hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) where 0W-8 is specified. This currently includes vehicles from Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi. The oil also is suitable for battery electric vehicles (BEV) fitted with thermal gasoline engines used as a range extender. A number of 2023 production vehicles will require 0W-8, including the Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, and Nissan Dayz.
      Testing and Standards
      ENEOS extensively market-tested X Prime 0W-8 in Japan for nine years to produce this optimized formula, which provides extreme fuel efficiency with maximum engine protection, while meeting the required domestic standards, according to the company. ENEOS helped establish the JASO GLV-1 specification, creating and establishing the testing methods while performing engine-testing methods with OEM-provided test engines. ENEOS 0W-8 meets these new JASO GLV-1 standards. No API or ILSAC 0W-8 testing standards currently exist.
      Packaging
      ENEOS USA Inc. will release ENEOS X Prime 0W-8 in single 1-quart containers (part No. 3000-300). More information will be available closer to production.

As part of this partnership, ENEOS has in-house testing facilities where the company follows strategies developed with each OEM partner to meet their vehicle and performance specifications, particularly for the tighter tolerances of Asian engines that are now being seen more in European and domestic vehicles.

This access provides ENEOS with unreleased vehicle specifications, allowing the organization to develop lubrication formulations that specifically meet (or exceed) vehicle needs. Because of these partnerships, ENEOS products are designed to anticipate future requirements beyond current domestic vehicle standards.

      Walker Products exhibited at this year’s AAPEX show with a fresh new look and approach.
      “Our re-energized approach provided a very successful show for closing new business opportunities this year,” said Adam Fell, director of marketing.
      Walker also carried this enthusiasm through to celebrating a time-honored tradition within the organization: its annual Manufacturers Rep of the Year award.
      “Walker Products makes a big deal with our Rep of the Year award,” stated Brad Schenk, VP of sales. “We have manufacturers reps all around the world who tell us day in and day out that they are working to win ‘The Rep Belt.’”
      At the opening of show hours on Wednesday, Nov. 2, the Walker Team announced this year’s award winner: Bob Dunfield of Hirsig Frazier Co. in Richardson, Texas.
      “Walker Products recognizes the extraordinary level of commitment to Walker Products that Bob displays,” Schenk said. “Going beyond the sale is an understatement when it comes to Bob Dunfield. Exceptional field support, customer follow-through and marketing intelligence are just a few examples of how Bob goes beyond the call of duty. We are very grateful to have Bob on the Walker Team and look forward to many more successful years with him and the Hirsig Frazier organization.”
