About Pentosin

The CRP family of brands is as recognized and respected as the company itself. And that is no coincidence. We pay great attention to the products we carry, the people we work with, and the way in which we conduct business. In fact, the greatest products we offer our customers are quality, service, and trust. They don't have a part number and they can't be pulled off some warehouse shelf.

Founded in 1927 in Hamburg, Germany, Deutsche Pentosin-Werke GmbH is globally recognized as an innovator and manufacturer of synthetic & mineral oil-based fluids for the automotive industry.

With its “zero mistake” philosophy, Pentosin has met the demanding OE standards of many of the world's finest automobile manufacturers — achieving 27 first fill approvals.

For service techs around the globe there is only one choice when quality & innovation matter most - Pentosin Technical Automotive Fluids.

When OE-quality antifreeze is a must, professional repair technicians reach for Pentosin. Specifically adapted for use in alloy engines and formulated for year-round use, this line of modern engine coolants is nitrite and amine-free. Pentosin Antifreeze prevents lime formation, protects against corrosion and cavitation, and never foams.

Pentosin's OE-quality line of Brake Fluids exceeds DOT standards and offers a high safety margin against vapor lock, long-term resistance to water absorption and water retention, plus a superior corrosion resistance. Used by leading automotive manufacturers as first fill, as well as service refill, Pentosin Brake Fluids are especially suited for use in vehicles with ABS (anti-lock brake system).

Pentosin offers a synthetic high performance Transmission Fluid program for use in today's automatic, manual, CVT, and double clutch transmissions. Formulated anti-wear chemistry and friction modifiers deliver stable friction performance in modern transmissions. For initial fill or service refill, a transmission's best defense is Pentosin Transmission Fluid.

All-purpose, high performance Pentosin hydraulic fluids are formulated for central hydraulic systems such as power steering, rear axle steering, level control, hydro-pneumatic suspension, and shock absorbers. Pentosin Hydraulic Fluids are synthetic-based and formulated to work perfectly under extreme operating temperatures, from -40F to +275F.

Pentosin synthetic and semi-synthetic high performance Motor Oils contain special friction modifiers, offering optimum engine performance and improved fuel economy. Pentosin Motor Oils are all-season, offering great protection against harsh start-up conditions and extreme temperature changes. Formulated for long service intervals, these fluids also reduce oil sludge and fuel deposits.

Pentosin Transmission and Power Steering Service Kits feature high performance Pentosin transmission or hydraulic fluid - in the correct quantity per application - plus genuine Rein OE replacement parts like transmission pans or power steering reservoirs, gaskets and seals, bolts, and more - everything needed for a complete fluid change on many popular European vehicles.

Founded in 1927 in Hamburg, Germany, Pentosin is a leading brand of high-tech fluids for the automotive industry. It is produced by the world’s largest independent lubricant manufacturer.

While Pentosin’s signature “green can” is a well-known staple in the hydraulic fluid market, the Pentosin name is well-established across all technical fluid categories in the import vehicle community: antifreeze, brake fluids, hydraulic fluids, motor oil, and transmission fluids.

Pentosin branded products have been trusted by the OE market for many years, with more than 25 “first fill” approvals from Asian and European vehicle manufacturers. By partnering directly with car manufacturers, the Pentosin brand is able to offer unique fluids to meet today’s challenging technical innovations for a wide range of applications.

CRP Automotive has sold Pentosin products in North America since 1983 and has unparalleled experience and expertise in the technical fluid category.

The Rein Automotive line of OE-quality replacement parts was introduced to the North American market in 2007. Rein is the German word for “pure”, and has come to be synonymous with quality in the automotive aftermarket. A true dealer alternative.

The Rein brand includes a growing number of “better than OE” parts for selected applications. These parts address known weaknesses and premature failures of factory parts. Many of these replacement and service solutions have been developed with the help of our Innovation Council, a hand-picked group of experienced professional repair technicians and shop owners throughout North America.

CRP Automotive added AJUSA to its family of brands in 2011, helping broaden our coverage of “under hood” parts. For example, now when you replace a water pump with a Rein brand part, you can get a gasket from the same trusted source.

Established in 1972, AJUSA is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of gaskets/sets, cylinder head bolt sets, and hydraulic lifters. AJUSA offers comprehensive coverage for European and Asian applications, especially late-model vehicles.

Thanks to an unwavering dedication to quality, AJUSA has been named an OE certified manufacturer. AJUSA is also ISO 9001 and ISO/TS quality certified and ISO 14001 certified as a company that protects and respects the environment.

AAE is a trusted brand of high-quality new and remanufactured power steering products for the automotive replacement market, with more than 30 years of experience in the category.

AAE products include hydraulic, electric, and electro-hydraulic steering system components. Our extensive remanufacturing experience has allowed us to develop many new “better than OE” replacement parts in cases where there is a known issue with the factory equivalent. We are a leader in the EPS category, offering pioneering solutions for both repair and replacement.

Remanufacturing expertise also guides our quality control process. No matter where an AAE part is manufactured (or remanufactured), it has to pass strict US-based quality control. 100% of our inventory is tested in our factories. This means every AAE part can be installed with confidence!
