Eco Ultra Synthetic Blend Motor Oil Delivers Exceptional Results in 150,000-mile Taxi Test
THE TEST: In Las Vegas, Nevada, Eco Ultra Synthetic Blend 5W-30 Motor Oil, formulated with re-refined Group II+ base oil, competed one-on-one with a popular premium passenger motor oil, formulated from virgin base oil, in a grueling 150,000-mile taxi cab field test.
Two, 2009 Chevrolet Impalas with 3.5 liter new V-6 General Motors engines carried passengers up and down the Vegas strip in what the industry considers severe service: relentless waves of summer heat, bitter winter lows, constant stop-and-go traffic, frequent idling and at average speeds of less than 20 mph.
Oil was drained every 7,500 and 10,000 miles (up to three times longer than manufacturer recommendations), and intermediate oil samples were collected at the first 5,000 and 7,000 mile marks.
THE DISASSEMBLY: After 150,000 miles, taxi cab company employees removed and disassembled the engines, taking photographs of each individual part as they were laid out for inspection and evaluation.
An immediate part-by-part inspection and evaluation was conducted on each engine element to record sludge and varnish ratings. Parts were wrapped and shipped to an independent lab to test and finalize the actual ratings.
THE RESULTS: Independent testing showed Eco Ultra delivered proven engine protection with the level of lubrication needed for sustained fuel economy. Specifically, the Eco Ultra test results showed:
In addition to exceptional performance in field tests, Eco Ultra is the preferred choice for daily operations in a variety of applications.
