HD GROUP and Acustrip announce Vehicle Fluid Diagnostics Kit

Acustrip’s Vehicle Fluid Diagnostics Kit, No. 3000-PERF-ACU, is designed to identify current conditions of fluids. These test kits provide results and a record to cover the benefits of performing needed fluid services. Vehicle Fluid Diagnostics Kits are designed to allow the consumer to see what service personnel see. The results are verified within 120 seconds of fluid testing.

These test strips, utilized as part of the inspection process, show the condition of the vehicle’s important fluids including brake, power steering, transmission, gear lube, motor oil, and antifreeze fluids. The newest kit is now designed to be photographed and uploaded as a permanent digital inspection record. Acustrip is now offering the Vehicle Inspection Kit (VIK) in a private branded version.

All lubricants contain additives that inhibit breakdown. As these additives become depleted, the fluid degrades and is no longer able to perform its intended function. The amount of wear metals in the fluid is the biggest contributor to the fluid needing to be changed. These kits are a tool that provide a measure of additive depletion to the level of sludge and/or the wear metals in the fluid.
