As a result of the acquisition of MPG in 2017, we recorded intangible assets related to aftermarket customer relationships that were associated with the Powertrain aftermarket business that we sold in the second quarter of 2018. As such, during the second quarter we reduced the gross carrying amount of our customer relationships by $4.8 million, and reduced the associated accumulated amortization by $0.3 million. Amortization expense for our intangible assets was $24.8 million and $74.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 respectively, and $24.4 million and $50.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for each of the years 2018 through 2022 is approximately $100 million.
