Hot Shot’s Secret recently announced new distribution of EDT+ Winter Defense, a seven-in-one anti-gel fuel booster developed to keep diesel-powered vehicles operable and improve cold starts when temps start to drop below freezing.

The 16-ounce measurable squeeze bottle is now available at all locations of O’Reilly Auto Parts stores nationwide.

EDT+ Winter Defense offers all the benefits of Hot Shot’s Secret’s fuel additive, Everyday Diesel Treatment, and adds anti-gel and anti-icing properties to reduce fuel-line freeze-ups to keep diesel engines fully operational as low as minus 40 F, according to the company.  

The all-year diesel additive includes a powerful cetane booster, lubricity additive, injector cleaner and fuel-stabilizer chemicals to improve winter performance and protection of the fuel system, the company says.   

EDT+ Winter Defense is recommended for all diesel-powered vehicles, including cars, trucks, heavy-duty, semis, vans, buses, heavy-duty and ag equipment, and will not harm after-treatment systems, according to Hot Shot’s Secret, which recommends using before wax starts to form.

“In many parts of the country we have already seen heavy snowfall and cold temperatures,” Hot Shot’s Secret Brand Manager Josh Steinmetz said. “Diesel fuel is prone to wax deposits starting at 30 degrees. This product lowers the fuel-gelling point while improving the fuel combustibility, resulting in easier cold starts, reduced DPF regens and improved fuel economy. We’re very excited to be able to announce expanded distribution with O’Reilly Auto Parts before we face the brunt of the winter season.”

EDT+ Winter Defense is available in multiple sizes: 8, 16 and 32 ounces; 1, 5 and 55 gallons; and 275 gallons bulk at www.hotshotsecret.com.

      By Counterman
      Standard Motor Products, Inc. (SMP) announced it continues to add to its line of kits. Standard and Blue Streak offer Kits and Multipacks in a variety of categories.

      link hidden, please login to view said. These kits include an all-new high-pressure fuel pump, cam follower, the required seals, and mounting hardware. Ignition coils can lose spark energy over time, causing poor fuel mileage and reduced performance and if one coil fails, it is likely the others are on track to fail. Blue Streak Ignition Coil Multipacks include a full, matched set of new, better-performing coils, saving time, restoring performance and reducing comebacks. SMP said other popular kits include complete Standard Turbocharger Kits, Oil Filter Housing Kits, and Fuel Injector Multipacks and Blue Streak Blower Motor Resistor Kits, Camshaft and Crankshaft Sensor Kits, Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Service Kits and VVT Solenoid Kits. In the past two years, specific Blue Streak Kits have been awarded the Best New Product of the Year and Best Problem-Solver by the Import Vehicle Community, a community of the Auto Care Association.
      New coverage has recently been introduced across many of these categories, according to SMP. Blue Streak GDI High-Pressure Fuel Pump Kits have been released for 3.7 million General Motor vehicles, like the 2019-16 Chevrolet Cruze, 2019-18 Chevrolet Equinox, and 2019-18 GMC Terrain. Standard Oil Filter Housing Kits are new for multiple popular makes and models, including the 2024-19 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2024-19 RAM 1500, 2024-19 Dodge Durango, 2016-11 Volvo S60, and more. Blue Streak Cam and Crank Sensor Kits have been released for a variety of popular Ford vehicles, and Standard Turbocharger Kits are new for Ford, Volvo, and General Motors vehicles like the 2019-16 Chevrolet Cruze and Buick Encore, SMP said.
      Commenting on the expansion, John Herc, vice president of vehicle control marketing at
      link hidden, please login to view, said, “Parts professionals are looking for more complete kits and multipacks for a number of reasons. First, it helps technicians perform a complete repair without having to chase parts from multiple places. Additionally, service writers find it easier to explain one line item on an invoice rather than a list of parts. Whatever their reason, they look to Standard and Blue Streak for complete repair solutions.” The post

      HCI Equity Partners Launches Driven Distribution Group
      By Counterman
      link hidden, please login to view announced the launch of link hidden, please login to view, a new automotive aftermarket distribution platform. The launch coincides with Driven Distribution Group’s acquisition of the auto parts and accessories distribution business of Chicago Parts & Sound, following the recapitalization of Tri-State Enterprises, Inc. in November 2023. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. By bringing together CPS and Tri-State under the Driven Distribution Group umbrella, HCI said it “aims to establish a leading platform in the automotive aftermarket industry by equipping its brands with shared resources, strategic vision, investment and advanced technology to enable its companies to deliver best-in-class customer service.” Both CPS and Tri-State will continue to operate under their respective brands, while benefiting from the shared resources of the Driven Distribution Group platform.
      “We are thrilled to welcome the CPS team to the Driven Distribution platform. Consistent with our original platform thesis, CPS represents a geographically strategic beachhead in the Midwest and is a great complement to Tri-State’s existing product categories. We look forward to working together to achieve our shared vision for growth,” said Scott Gibaratz, partner at HCI.
      Chicago Parts & Sound, based in Elk Grove Village, IL, with additional locations in Illinois and Wisconsin, is a warehouse distributor focused on automotive aftermarket parts, batteries, consumables, and accessories. The company serves auto dealerships, independent repair shops, municipalities/governments and company fleets. 
      Bob Lederer, co-owner of CPS, said, “the growth of Tri-State Enterprises parallels that of CPS – just in a different part of the country. Opportunities to combine businesses of such similar backgrounds, culture, and customer focus make tremendous sense for all stakeholders in each company.”
      “We are extremely impressed with the stellar business and established market reputation Bob and Jackie Lederer have built over the past 22 years. The combination of CPS and Tri-State as part of the Driven Distribution Group platform will enable us to expand our resources and capabilities to better serve our employees and customers,” said Tristan Taylor, CEO of Tri-State.
