In automotive assembly plants, every drop of fluid matters. Whether it’s engine oil, coolant, ATF, or DEF, precise fluid application isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about protecting equipment, ensuring vehicle quality, and keeping operations running smoothly. That’s why more automotive professionals are turning to Graco dispense guns and meters. These tools are engineered for accuracy, durability, and ease of use, helping plants eliminate waste, reduce costs, and deliver flawless results every time.
