Is upgrading to a magnetic drain plug worth it? If you're dealing with higher-mileage vehicles, performance engines, or just want added protection, the answer is yes. The drain plugs included in the new line of Rein Magnetic Drain Plugs feature a captive rare earth magnet that actively pulls ferrous wear particles out of the oil before they recirculate through the engine, transmission, or differential. It’s a simple way to reduce wear and gain early insight into internal damage, especially valuable during routine service. Each plug is engineered for professional use: rolled threads help prevent cross-threading, a flush-tip design avoids debris buildup, and every plug comes with either a crush washer or embedded O-ring for proper sealing. With 14 SKUs covering over 160 million vehicles across domestic, European, and Asian applications, the Rein program of plugs offers broad coverage and upgraded performance. Watch to see how the magnet performs and why it’s a smart upgrade. 🌐 Visit Our Website: For more information about our high-quality automotive replacement parts and fluids, visit our official website at https://crpautomotive.com/ 🔍 Search Our Parts: Find detailed parts and application information in our Online Catalog at https://showmetheparts.com/crp/ 👥 Join the CRP Jumpstart Team: Get early access to giveaways, product announcements, and exclusive content.

Built-In Magnet = Better Drain Plug | ITB Episode 156
Are you seeing repeated failures with the coolant pipe in Mini Cooper, Countryman, or Paceman models? The original plastic water pump to thermostat pipe in these 2007–2016 Mini 1.6L engines is prone to cracking due to thermal cycling and hydrolysis, leading to leaks and system failures. This issue leads to costly repairs and frequent replacements that can drain time and resources. CRP Automotive offers the Rein Upgraded Coolant Pipe (P/N CHU0589) as the solution. Made from durable aluminum, this direct-fit replacement is designed to last longer than the original plastic pipe, resisting cracking and wear over time. The kit includes everything you need for an easy installation, including a new O-ring seal and clip, so you won’t need to source extra parts or waste time looking for replacements. By switching to the Rein Upgraded Coolant Pipe, you can offer your customers a more reliable, cost-effective solution that reduces repeat failures and helps extend the lifespan of the cooling system. Watch now to see how this simple upgrade can improve your repair efficiency. 🌐 Visit Our Website: For more information about our high-quality automotive replacement parts and fluids, visit our official website at https://crpautomotive.com/ 🔍 Search Our Parts: Find detailed parts and application information in our Online Catalog at https://showmetheparts.com/crp/ 👥 Join the CRP Jumpstart Team: Get early access to giveaways, product announcements, and exclusive content.

It’s a complete turbo install solution designed to help: - Prevent turbo leaks and failures - Avoid sourcing parts one by one - Save time - Get everything in one box—hoses, gaskets, clamps, and upgraded oil return line Whether you're dealing with a failed turbo, prepping for a turbo swap, or looking for the right way to service a Cruze turbo, this video covers what you need to know. Watch to see how the REIN TechSelect Turbo Kits simplify turbo service and help make sure the job is done right the first time. 🌐 Visit Our Website: For more information about our high-quality automotive replacement parts and fluids, visit our official website at https://crpautomotive.com/ 🔍 Search Our Parts: Find detailed parts and application information in our Online Catalog at https://showmetheparts.com/crp/ 👥 Join the CRP Jumpstart Team: Get early access to giveaways, product announcements, and exclusive content.

The Right Way to Service a Chevy Cruze Turbo | ITB Episode 154
Choosing the right brake fluid isn’t as simple as checking the boiling point. In today’s vehicles, especially those equipped with ABS, ESC, and ADAS, viscosity has become just as important—if not more so. This episode explains how brake fluid viscosity affects system response times, stopping distance, and overall braking performance. In this episode of Inside the Brands, we take a closer look at Pentosin Super DOT 4, DOT 4 LV, and DOT 5.1 to explain what sets them apart and when each should be used. You’ll also learn why DOT 5.1 isn’t interchangeable with silicone-based DOT 5—and why that distinction matters. If you work on modern brake systems, this is one you’ll want to watch. 🌐 Visit Our Website: For more information about our high-quality automotive replacement parts and fluids, visit our official website at https://crpautomotive.com/ 🔍 Search Our Parts: Find detailed parts and application information in our Online Catalog at https://showmetheparts.com/crp/ 👥 Join the CRP Jumpstart Team: Get early access to giveaways, product announcements, and exclusive content.
