I had a rep from BG come to the Toyota dealership where I work. When he approached me and asked to do a test on my car which is a 2011 Scion TC with 93,000 miles, I figured it wouldn’t hurt because most cleaners and additives normally don’t do much. They ran the cleaner through more…
Mr. Speedy recommended BG CF5® for our 2005 Chevy Uplander that was really running rough after a long period of non-use and was getting worse. I put one can in a full tank and drove only 12 miles round trip. There was at least a 95 percent improvement in engine firing. This is the only more…
An auto mechanic friend of mine gave me a can of In-Force to try out in my garage. After using In-Force for the last couple of months, I can’t believe how well it works. This product goes way beyond all of my expectations. I’m SOLD!
WICHITA, Kan.–April 4, 2016–Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines are prone to early carbon buildup. Vehicle owners will notice a drop in power and performance, sometimes before the first oil change. BG introduces the new BG GDI Fuel/Air Induction Service which will remove carbon from the entire GDI fuel system in under an hour. GDI engines more…
WICHITA, Kan.–March 3, 2016–BG Products, Inc., introduces BG DEXRON®-VI Low Viscosity ATF. Today nearly 40 percent of new passenger cars in the U.S. call for low viscosity automatic transmission fluid. By 2022, that number will be nearly 75 percent. Low viscosity transmission fluid offers better performance and fuel efficiency gains. BG DEXRON®-VI Low Viscosity Full more…
by Casey Greseth, BG Field Trainer I’ve heard a lot about “low cost of ownership” lately. Honestly, it sounds like a great deal! In fact, I would like everything I purchase to have low cost of ownership: my car, my house, my dog. But if I don’t invest any money into maintaining my car, my more…
The goal of CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards is to increase the average fuel efficiency of all the vehicles on the road to 54.5 MPG by 2025. Every few years until then, manufacturers have a benchmark average MPG to reach. For 2016, the CAFE benchmark is 35.5 MPG. In order to meet these goals, more…
Low cost of ownership is a hot selling point among vehicle manufacturers (OEM). OEMs tout “low maintenance costs” or “maintenance free” vehicles because all of the other attributes that comprise low cost of ownership (depreciation, fuel costs, insurance, state fees and financing) are difficult to control and manipulate. Whichever promises the cheapest vehicle maintenance wins! To more…
Question: What is the NOACK Volatility Test and why is it important for engine oils? Answer: The NOACK Volatility Test (ASTM D5800) determines evaporation tendencies of a lubricant (engine oil) in high temperature service. The more an engine oil vaporizes (or evaporates), the heavier the oil becomes. Heavier, more viscous oil circulates poorly, which affects fuel more…
Today’s diesels can produce more power with less fuel than ever before, not to mention the significant decrease in harmful exhaust emissions. At the root of this new wave of drivability improvements is the engineering marvel of high pressure common rail injection (HPCR). HPCR systems produce twice as much injection pressure as mechanical fuel injection. more…
