84,245 miles / 1,950 days / 2,316 engine hours = without oil changes !

Although all fluid levels were monitored, and if needed additional fluids were added, they were never drained out or replaced.

The 2001 FORD Crown Victoria owned by Automobile Club of Southern California and used for chauffeuring of the club's top executives throughout Southern California.

It was converted to SynLube™ Lube−4−Life^® products on 3/6/2002 @ 16,535 miles (Motor Oil SAE 5W-50, Power Steering Fluid, Automatic Transmission Fluid ATF-5 & Differential Gear Oil SAE 70W-90).

The use of SynLube™ Lube−4−Life^® Functional Fluids not only eliminated most of the routine maintenance, but also contributed to reliable vehicle life without performance degradation in fuel economy or exhaust emissions.

The cars fuel economy was constantly monitored by the staff of Automobile Club owned Automotive Research Center in Diamond Bar, California. It remained unchanged throughout the test at 19-MPG City & 32-MPG Highway.

Vehicle's environmental impact was also substantially reduced, not only because no used waste oil was generated, but also because exhaust emission levels even at 100,000 total odo miles are still maintained well below the levels required for new 2001 model vehicles.

This fact was verified by performance of several emission tests as specified in Code of Federal Regulations section 40 Part 86 and part 600, immediately before and after SynLube™ Lube−4−Life^® products installation (16,532 miles and 16,996 miles respectively) as well at 49,126; 74,021 and 100,180 total miles on the vehicle.

Yet another car proves that Permanent non-petroleum SynLube™ Lube−4−Life^® Functional Fluids are a viable alternative to conventional petroleum based fluids, which must be periodically and frequently changed to maintain vehicle in a good operating condition.
