CRC Industries Starting Fluid

CRC Jump Start®: Engineered for Cold-Weather Engine Starting

When temperatures plunge and engines refuse to cooperate, CRC Industries delivers one of the most trusted solutions in the starting fluid category: the CRC Jump Start® Starting Fluid with Lubricity. Since its founding in 1958, CRC has grown into a global specialty chemical manufacturer, producing over 1,300 maintenance and repair products across automotive, marine, industrial, aviation, and electrical markets. Their starting fluid line is a direct expression of that deep chemistry expertise — purpose-built for professionals and do-it-yourselfers who can't afford a no-start situation.

What Sets CRC Jump Start® Apart

Not all starting fluids are created equal. What distinguishes CRC's Jump Start® from basic ether sprays is its built-in upper cylinder lubricant (Lubricity). Most starting fluids simply volatilize in the combustion chamber; CRC's formula goes a step further by coating cylinder walls and valve surfaces during those brutal cold-start moments when engine oil hasn't yet fully circulated. This added protection helps minimize wear — a critical consideration when cranking a cold engine repeatedly in freezing conditions.

CRC Jump Start® is rated effective at temperatures as low as -65°F, making it a genuine cold-weather tool rather than a mild-weather convenience. Whether you're dealing with a diesel pickup that won't fire on a January morning or a gasoline-powered generator sitting dormant since last winter, this formula is engineered for the worst conditions. It also complies with ULSD (Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel) fuel requirements, so it's safe to use in modern diesel systems.

Broad Compatibility Across Engine Types

One of the hallmarks of CRC Jump Start® is its versatility. The formula is designed for use in both gasoline and diesel engines, and it extends to smaller equipment as well — snowblowers, lawn mowers, motorcycles, and other small-engine applications with carburetor-based fuel systems. It is also confirmed plastic-safe, meaning it won't degrade intake manifold components or air filter housings on contact. The aerosol delivery system makes application straightforward: spray into the air intake or air cleaner with the engine off, then crank.

A Trusted Name in Specialty Chemicals

CRC Industries operates 26 manufacturing facilities and produces more than 80 million aerosol cans annually, supplying customers across North and South America, Europe, South Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region. That scale of production means consistency — every can of Jump Start® meets the same rigorous chemical standards. For anyone shopping the starting fluid category, CRC's combination of ether-based fast ignition chemistry and integrated lubricity protection represents a meaningful upgrade over bare-bones alternatives.
