Application

The MAHLE FluidPRO Smart Fluid Control Unit, No. SFC-6, supports routine fluid service and maintenance operations involving engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant. It is ideal for oil changes, fluid top-offs, transmission service, and cooling system maintenance where accurate dispensing, fluid tracking, and contamination prevention are important. The unit is not designed for brake fluid or windshield washer fluid.

Origin

The FluidPRO Smart Fluid Control Unit was developed to address common shop challenges such as managing multiple fluid types, reducing workspace clutter, minimizing fluid contamination, and improving inventory tracking. By replacing numerous small containers with a centralized dispensing system, the cart helps shops improve efficiency, cleanliness, and fluid management while providing accurate usage records for better operational control.

Features and benefits

• Manages up to six different fluid types from a single mobile dispensing station
• Eliminates clutter from multiple bottles and containers, helping keep shops cleaner, safer, and more organized
• Battery-powered dispensing system requires no electrical connection, providing maximum mobility around the shop
• Zero Cross Contamination technology helps prevent mixing incompatible fluids
• Tracks fluid usage and sends data to a management portal for inventory control and reporting

Selling points
