Preventative maintenance in our fleet is a very important part of my

responsibilities. One major part is the longevity needed of the

components including engines as the company very rarely updates the

fleet.

Back about 8 years ago, I was introduced to ULX in our off road racing

Buggy with a Toyota 4AGE engine and noticed a vast difference. It then

progressed to other domestic vehicles with great success.

All our company vehicle engines are on a used oil analyses program and I

myself monitor this very closely. Our CH Mack had done 900,000Klms and

started to use 7-9 litres of oil a week and I was ready to rebuild the

engine when I decided to try ULX in this vehicle. It only took a couple of

weeks to return back to the normal 5 litres per oil change. This vehicle

has now done over 1.313,000 Klms and going fine still without a rebuild.

So due to the lack of Sales incentives by other oil companies, I have

changed the whole fleet over to ULX including our Kenworth Cummins

powered signature which has done extremely well too. It has now got ULX

lubricants through its complete drive train and is being monitored.

The biggest notice with the oil samples is the big drop of wear in the

Aluminium and less Iron wear on average. This means that the oil service

intervals can be extended out further as our 1996 model CH is presently

on 60,000Klm service intervals saving $$$ and justifying a sightly more

expensive lubricant.

At present I am pleased with the results of 3 older diesel Landcruisers

that are now running ULX product that have now improved dramatically

and pleasing the owners of.

Please try it for yourself!
