BERKELEY Calif. -

Buy-here, pay-here industry advisor Gene Daughtry has seen plenty of vehicles that were in need of some serious TLC before being ready to retail. Sometimes, instead of replacing an engine or transmission — or just send off the vehicle to be scrapped — Daughtry used products offered by JilCat Proline.

Now the company’s line of products can be acquired by both dealerships and vehicle owners.

Daughtry described how JilCat Proline Ultra Friction Reducer can serve as a remedy for a byproduct found in engines that have been in operation for some time — sludge.

“Engine oil serves as a hydraulic medium,” Daughtry said in a news release from JilCat. “It’s responsible for everything from cylinder deactivation, chain tensioner adjustment to valve timing. Our patented technology can reverse clicking, rattling, knocking, and other symptoms that happen with sludge buildup quickly and effectively.”

“JilCat products can save a consumer several thousand dollars in repair costs with its unique formulation,” continued Daughtry, who used Jilcat Proline products when he was running dealerships. “It removes sludge to create positive results for anyone with a failing engine. You can reduce friction, emissions, and component wear with this one investment.”

JilCat Proline Ultra Friction Reducer can provide a solution for anyone needing an engine or transmission additive to clean metals and remove friction. The company said its sludge-removal properties underwent third-party testing at an internationally recognized laboratory in San Antonio.

“What makes our engine lubricant and CVT supplements such a fantastic product is how the hydrocarbon molecule conditions the metal,” Daughtry said. “It adheres to the surface through polarization to ensure that any imperfections get filled so that less friction occurs. Once in the engine, it can stay there for up to 15,000 miles.”

The products are currently available at www.JilCat.com.
