Truckers know ULX110 means

'more bottom line dollars'!

Fonterra Brands Aust and ULX 110 engine oils

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 900,000Kms 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 Kms 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 60,000Km service intervals saving $$$s 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!
