In service since 2011, the Chrysler Pentastar 3.6L engine has powered more than 10 million of the most popular vehicles on the road. These Pentastar engines are equipped with oil filter housings, which contain the oil filter, sensors, and a heat exchanger to help cool the oil. The oil filter housings on the Pentastar V6 engine have become known for their high failure rates. These failures have mistakenly been attributed the idea that the housings can warp due to heat, but this has been proven false. So, why do these units typically leak? 

Variable Valve Timing (VVT) systems help reduce emissions and maximize engine performance and fuel economy. The VVT Solenoid (Oil Control Valve) meters the oil flow to control the actuation of the VVT Sprocket (Actuator or Phaser). The VVT Sprocket mechanically shifts the position of the camshaft. Here are a few tips for testing.

Turbocharged engines are becoming more popular, as vehicle manufacturers look to increase fuel efficiency, maintain performance and reduce emissions. Symptoms of a malfunctioning turbocharger include loss of power, excess smoke, high fuel consumption, overheating, high exhaust temperature and oil leaks from the turbo. Here are a few important diagnostic and repair tips to keep in mind.

Turbochargers consist of just three major internal components: the turbine, the compressor and the bearing system that supports the turbine shaft. In an effort to increase fuel efficiency, maintain performance and reduce emissions, vehicle manufacturers are adding turbocharged engines to their lineups at a significant rate. 

Turbocharger Opportunities: In an effort to increase fuel efficiency, maintain performance, and reduce emissions, vehicle manufacturers are adding turbocharged engines to their lineups at a significant rate. Over the next five years, the turbo service market will continue to experience substantial growth.

The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor is a key component of the engine’s fueling strategy. It is crucial that the MAF sensor reports with 100% accuracy to ensure peak performance, fuel economy and reduced emissions. Here are some helpful tips such as how and when to replace them and steps to extend their longevity.

In an effort to increase fuel efficiency and elevate performance across today’s vehicles, nearly every manufacturer has equipped new vehicles with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) technology, also known as Variable Cam Timing (VCT).

Blower Motor Resistors (BMR) control the electrical current flowing from the fan switch to the blower fan, which allows the motorist to set the fan at different speeds. The fan speed can be changed by switching the blower resistor resistance mechanically, using a rotating lever, or electronically, by the air conditioning system.

Hybrid vehicles have been sold in the U.S. for over 20 years. As hybrids continue to grow in popularity, and as fully electric vehicles have entered the market in the past several years, they have brought with them numerous service opportunities for aftermarket repair facilities. Whether shops dive in and get involved with replacing batteries, inverters, or other high-voltage components, or they stick to light-duty servicing, there is plenty of work to go around.

Variable Valve Timing (VVT) or Variable Cam Timing (VCT) is common on most newer engines. These systems are designed to reduce emissions and maximize engine performance and fuel economy. Here's some background on VVT and a few tips for dealing with issues that come up.

Gasoline direct injection (GDI) is used on most new vehicles and requires a different approach to diagnosis and service. GDI technology has been an integral part of helping to improve fuel economy while reducing emissions and can be found in more than half of the U.S. fleet. In fact, the use of GDI engines has grown by over 600% since 2010. This means that in the next five years, 42 million more vehicles with GDI will enter the Aftermarket “Sweet Spot” of 6-12 years old, during which their injectors and related parts may need to be serviced or replaced. While GDI systems have proved effective, these systems encounter specific failures and require an understanding of how they work and how to test them when they set a code.

The Check Engine Light (CEL) is arguably one of the most effective yet underappreciated advancements in reducing vehicle emissions. Following the introduction of On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD II), the CEL is illuminated continuously if an on-board system monitor has failed a specified number of times and is negatively affecting emissions. If a catalyst-damaging event, such as a misfire, occurs, the CEL will flash. In today’s world of electric vehicles, hybrids, and partial zero-emission vehicles, many people forget that simply keeping their internal combustion engine (ICE)-powered vehicle operating as designed will help in reducing emissions.
