Modern day emission regulations require the use of a closed PCV / Breather system to recirculate combustion blow-by gases for cleaner operation and to reduce greenhouse gases. However, due to inefficient capturing of oil particles within the air charge, a dense amount of oil vapor is allowed to be ingested within the intake tract causing deposits of carbon buildup at the intake ports, back of intake valves and oil deposits within the intake plumbing. All will eventually lead to poor performance, reduced fuel economy and a decreasing octane rating.

GEOMET® premium brake rotors start with quality materials and precision ECS machining. That would be enough for most of us, but it is only the beginning. To prevent brake pad deposits for better braking, select a slotted ECS GEOMET® rotor. Slotting cleans the pads by moving water, gases, and contaminants away from the pad/rotor contact surface. To prevent rust pitting and corrosion damage, ECS GEOMET® rotors are bathed in a special water-based solution, then heated to cure the coating and remove all oil residue remaining from the manufacturing process.
