"Loosee" the model is also the owner of this 1988 Lamborghini Countach 5000
Synner since 1990

Some years ago we had advertising slogan: "Instead of buying just a car that you can afford, buy a car that you really want; and keep it running "forever" with SynLube"

We do not know how many people took our advice, but this lady sure did!

In June of 1990 at Las Vegas Auto Auction "Loosee" just for a joke bidded on this car that had only 723 miles. Since there was "No Reserve" she did get her dream car at a bargain price.

Then against the advice of her "car mechanic" she installed:

bulletSynLube Lube-4-Life™ Motor Oil used in the Quattrovalvole engine
bulletSynLube Lube-4-Life™ Gear Oil used in the manual transaxle

The car was mostly garaged over last 9 years, but driven every now and then.
It has now over 66,000 miles and no fluids were changed since initial installation.

"Loosee" is a devoted Synner, since she openly admits that the only reason she was able to afford this car is because her previous automotive jewel - DATSUN B210 - ran dependably on SynLube for over 12 years and 210,000 miles without any lubricant related problems -- thus, saving her: "a ton of money".

She installed every new SynLube product when it became available so the car now has also:

bulletSynLube Lube-4-Life™ Grease used in the drive shafts' CV joints
bulletCool-4-Life™ Synthetic Coolant  used in the Cooling System
bulletSynLube Stop-4-Life™ Brake Fluid used in the Brake System
bulletSynLube Stop-4-Life™ Brake Fluid used in the Hydraulic Clutch System

Update: Vehicle Sold @ 65,783 Miles on 11/26/2009 after the owner suddenly died

1990 YUGO Cabrio

yugoca~3.bmp (230454 bytes)

This vehicle is very unique, not just because YUGO made only 83 Cabrios, but also because it was driven only 122 miles in the first 9 Years ! Typically by the original owner Ben Stepman, the #1 YUGO Delaer in the World, and only during annual Henderson City Parade

It has been acquired by MIROX Corporation in July 1999.

This car has been equipped when new at 4 miles on odo with:

bulletSynLube Motor Oil used in the 1.3 Liter SOHC engine built by DMB
bulletSynLube Gear Oil used in the 5-speed transaxle
bulletSynLube Grease used in the CV joints on the front wheel driveshafts.

No lubricant changes were done over the 9 years (122 miles).

bulletCool-4-Life™ Synthetic Coolant  was installed into the Cooling System in August 1999 after the cooling system was cleaned with
SynLube Cooling System Cleaner and thereafter flushed three times with Distilled Water.

This demonstrates that  SynLube Lubricants can protect rare collector cars even if they are seldom driven or started, but keep them functional and ready to drive anytime without special servicing.

1996 Aston-Martin "Sportsman"

1996 Aston-Martin

Only two Aston-Martin "Sportsman" have been manufactured by the factory on special order in 1996. The car is entirely hand-manufactured in aluminium loaded with TV-GPS on the dashboard, ultrasonic parking detector, bar and cigar box. The rear compartment is made to receive hunting dogs with folding protective mat and side panels. There is also a gun storage area behind the rear seats. The performance, the interior appointments and futures are absolutely fabulous showing all the difference between a "production" car and personnalized Aston-Martin. On top of all that the serial number is 79007 as embroided on the factory car cover.

This blue Bugatti (VIN# ZA9AB01EORCD39093) was sold new in 1995. It is a one owner car, it still smells new inside. It was equipped with SynLube™ in 1996 @ 1,000 Km. One would think, that in a vehicle that boasts 540 Hp @ 8,000, one would not expect much difference after changing Motor Oil, but the owner comments: "Now I experience exhilarating accelerations and V-12 engine is so smooth at idle, if it did not have a tach, I would not know it was running. The gear oil is simply amazing, it is perfect for 4-wheel-drive efficiency".

This car was imported to USA in 1978 by US Army officer who was stationed in France, where he bought the car new in December 1976. His son now owns the car since 1996. It has now original 200,000 Km ( 124,000 miles).

The car had originally only SynLube Motor Oil installed, but in 1998 when the transmission had to be rebuit due to corroded bearings he also installed SynLube Lube-4-Life™ MT Gear Oil after the overhaul.

In 1999 the entire cooling system had to be replaced (radiator, heater core, thermostat, heater valve and all hoses) due to corrosion and deterioration caused by conventional Prestone Coolant, that was religiously changed every spring.  After his: "do not even ask how much that costed!" experience, the owner now installed Cool-4-Life™ Synthetic Coolant  as well.
