The first test is completed with a general purpose maintenance grease and the second test uses a bearing lubricant from our FOODLUBE range.

WICHITA, Kan., July 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- In a business alliance that promises to set the bar for fleet sustainability across the country, Universal Lubricants, the premier producer of eco-friendly motor oils, has joined forces with D&D Sexton, Inc., the Midwest's leading common/contract refrigerated carrier. The company's 170 truck fleet now enters the growing community of ECO ULTRA oil users, furthering the green motor oil revolution's efforts to preserve our finite natural resources and protect the environment, all while guaranteeing proven, on-the-road performance. Made in the U.S. at the company's state-of-the-art re-refinery, ECO ULTRA is a green and American Petroleum Institute (API) licensed line of recycled engine oils and coolants that meets current vehicle manufacturers' specifications and Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) requirements.

"D&D Sexton, Inc. has distinguished itself as the 'Driving Force of the Future,' both to our employees and our customers," said Ed Boes, the company's terminal manager. "That's not just a slogan; it's a commitment to leading the pack, going above and beyond when it comes to ensuring safety, satisfaction and now, environmental sensitivity. As such, our decision to become an early adopter of ECO ULTRA 15W-40 was relatively uncomplicated, as the product cost-effectively aligns with D&D's operational needs, and moreover, aligns with our core company values to do honest business and make a positive difference, whenever possible. Simply, ECO ULTRA empowers D&D to further its commitment to serve as the 'Driving Force of the Future,' in another powerful way."

With over 2.5 trillion miles of field proven performance, ECO ULTRA has a number of benefits over competitors' products. To name but a few: one of the highest TBNs for long-term protection, reduced engine wear, extended drain intervals all leading to less oil consumption and better fuel economy.

"ECO ULTRA will keep D&D Sexton, Inc.'s trucks on the road in top condition, for longer periods of time," said John Wesley, chief executive officer of Universal Lubricants. "Plus, an average 12 gallon diesel engine change using ECO ULTRA saves America from importing 24 barrels of foreign oil; for D&D Sexton's fleet, that translate to 4,080 barrels of oil, at any given drain interval. Imagine the national impact if every trucking company followed their example."

Utilizing a tightly controlled closed loop process, Universal Lubricants collects used oil from the government and private business such as auto parts stores, dealerships, service stations, and oil change centers across the U.S. The company then transports that oil to one of the world's most technologically advanced re-refineries located in Wichita, Kansas, where it undergoes a state-of-the-art hydro-treating process to remove all of the water, fuel and solvents as well as metals, asphalt flux and other heavy contaminants. The purified high quality Grade II base stock oil is then blended with high performance additives to make API certified ECO ULTRA products that meet Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) requirements and current vehicle manufacturers' specifications.

Universal Lubricants is one of America's oldest, most trusted used oil collection, re-refining and new oil distribution leaders. The company operates 28 facilities in 14 states and operates one of the world's most technologically advanced re-refineries in Wichita, Kansas.

The areas of application for Ballistol mentioned here are only brief descriptions of a small selection of possibilities. In the Ballistol Story you will find, in addition to other areas of application, reports from customers from the past decades.

Ballistol for bike care:
Ballistol can be used from the handlebars to the pedals. It lubricates and cleans ball bearings and sprockets, loosens stuck connections, serves as a contact oil or contact spray and creeps into even the tightest corners. Ballistol universal oil protects leather saddle and tool bag. Brittle leather is regenerated, made supple and impregnated against snow and rain.

Ballistol in the garden:
Ballistol universal oil is ideal for the care and maintenance of garden tools such as lawnmowers, scissors, hose carts, pumps, etc. Spades, rakes and forks also remain shiny and do not rust. The same applies to power tillers, tillers and hedge trimmers. Ballistol is completely biodegradable and therefore completely harmless to the environment.

If you use devices with combustion engines in the garden, such as lawn mowers or chainsaws, you can save on shipping costs by ordering our starting fluid directly. You can impregnate tents and all other textiles, whether synthetic fiber or natural fiber, with our waterproofing spray.

You can get liquid containers from 50 ml to 200 liters. In addition to the liquid oils, we also offer Ballistol spray as a spray oil. You also get Ballistol oil in a set with professional oilers and atomizers, which can completely replace the spray cans with propellant gas. The special hand sprayer Pro, for example, can atomize Ballistol oil undiluted almost as finely as a spray can thanks to a special pump mechanism. The universal oil is also available in the popular Ballistol wipes as well as in the small spot oiler or the large Ballistol care stick.
