| "... Compression check on 1978 Mercedes 240-D, a 4 cylinder diesel. ... This engine was treated with QMI Engine Treatment at 51,000 100,000 150,000 and 195,000 miles and has never been overhauled. A new engine's compression should reach 25. At 50,000 to 200,000 miles it will usually fall between 23 and 21, and the engine should be overhauled when it drops to 17. ... This engine has almost 200,000 miles and each cylinder's compression is like new or better. Each cylinder reading at 25 or above." |

| QMI Engine Treatment was installed along with fresh oil and oil filter in the test vehicle. On the ensuing 30 plus mile drive home, the motor gained 100 RPMs of idle and the "stumble" that had been present was no longer there. ... The next mileage check showed an increase of 2 MPG, from 11 to 13, over back roads and up and down hills with 20% being freeway." |

| Since we have started using your product, QMI Lubrication, we have seen a reduction in our gearbox heat on our transmissions by 70 degrees. We have also increased our fuel economy on our trucks by 1/2 mile per gallon. QMI has saved us thousands of dollars in fuel costs and we expect even further savings in longer life for our trucks. I would recommend QMI Lubrication to anyone that would like to save money. (Lubrication used is QMI Engine Treatment, QMI 90wt Gear Treatment, and QMI Fuel Treatment.) |

| "We have used QMI for the past two years. We have seen an increase in fuel mileage of between 2/10 and 7/10 of a gallon per truck. We have also seen a major reduction in wear metals. Running late model trucks, we hope to extend the life of our fleet. For us, this is not another miracle product. It has proven to be an important part of our maintenance program." (Lubrication used is QMI Engine Treatment, QMI 90wt Gear Treatment, and QMI Fuel Treatment.) |

| "I used PTFE in
my own trucks and am now presently recommending QMI lubricants to my
customers. In addition to fuel savings, the most dramatic benefit is
in temperature reduction. Heat caused by friction is the number one
problem in maintenance cost and QMI's Engine Treatment and
Gear
Treatment reduces temperatures drastically in engines, transmissions,
and rear ends. "One example of temperature reduction was in a RTO 14 613 transmission. After treating the transmission, the temperature dropped by 75 degrees. In Cummins and Cat rear ends and transmissions we have seen 40 to 60 degree drops in temperatures. My personal use of QMI has resulted in fuel savings of 3/4 to 1 1/2 miles per gallon in both Cummins and Cat engines. I have also used QMI products in Thermo King units with excellent results. "In my thirty years of experience, I have never been so impressed as I am with QMI PTFE Lubricants. Also, the QMI Fuel Treatment is great, especially as a water scavenger." |

| "Results
related to damage of CAT 3116 DIT motor "The motor is assembled in a Tamrock Drilling Rig of a type Ranger 500, and, as of January 21, 2000 had 5705 motor hours. The client, Karl Mellem Fjellsprenging A/S, complained about high oil consumption, (approximately 2.5 liters per day), for a long time, as well as too much "mess" from crankcase bleeding. As a representative for Sandvik Tamrock A/S the undersigned contacted Pay & Brinck A/S with questions as to what could be done to eliminate the problem, and the immediate answer was "total overhaul" with the subsequent expenses that this will involve (approximately $11,000 U.S.). Sandvik Tamrock A/S has previously used "QMI" on a number of occasions - among other things as a problem solver in connection with strange sounds and/or overheating in the gearboxes, hydraulic systems and diesel engines, so I thought that this material possibly could also help this time. Therefore, 4 liters of QMI Engine Treatment and 4 liters of QMI Metal Prep were purchased, and the engine was treated according to the instructions. "Result: "After running the engine for approximately 15 minutes at idle with QMI Metal Prep, the oil was drained and enormous amounts of dirt and dust came out with the drained oil Subsequently, new oil was added, QMI Engine Treatment was added through the oil filter and the engine was started. After approximately 15 minutes idling we experienced a dramatic change in the sound from the motor; practically all the "metallic" sounds disappeared and the running was actually much more pleasant than on a totally new engine from the factory. An additional 30 minutes when the "breathing" from the crankcase bleeding was reduced to that which is normal on a new, broken-in engine, and the engine was stopped to check the oil level, etc. On Monday, January 24, the machine was put into full production and I was naturally quite anxious to see whether the oil consumption had changed significantly. The result was quite satisfactory; the oil consumption is now approximately 0.5 liters per 40 operating hours and we can thereby ascertain that the customer has saved an expense of approximately ($11,000) minus the expense for the QMI Treatments." |

| "Recently I
built a 780 HP aluminum small block Chevrolet for Robby Unser for the
Pikes Peak Hill Climb. "We put a 'Dry Sump' oil system on the engine with the tank installed 20 inches higher than the oil pump, due to limited space. I installed a ball valve between the oil tank and the oil pump so that the oil wouldn't gravity feed into the oil pan between engine starts. "The night before the Hill Climb, the engine was started with the ball valve accidentally in the closed position. It was warmed up at between 3000RPM and 5000RPM for 4 to 5 minutes. I walked up to the car and saw the oil valve in the closed position and shut the engine off. "We were terrified because we had to race the next morning and the engine was running flawlessly. "We let the engine sit for a minute, hand primed the oil system to get oil pressure, then restarted the engine. The engine sounded great. The oil pressure was still 65 lbs. "Robby drove the car under hard acceleration, brought it back to the shop, I removed the oil filter, cut it apart, and it was clean. "Robby raced the Pikes Peak Hill Climb the following day and won. The bearings in the engine are still good. "QMI saved us $18,000 and let Robby Unser have another Pikes Peak victory." |

| "I just want to pass along to you some of the uses I've found for QMI products in the golf car industry. I have found that after buffing the bodies, a good application of QMI Paint Sealant really brings out the luster. The paint looks deep and rich. I use the grease for the front end parts, such as ball joints and king pins. I find that it helps protect them from the harsh chemicals found on the golf courses. I use the Engine Treatment for all the obvious reasons and for the fact that not all golfers are really concerned about checking and changing oil. I know that those engines are protected once they're treated with QMI Engine Treatment. I use the 30 wt. Gear Treatment in place of the original 90 wt. for two reasons. The first one is drag. Lighter oil means less drag, but it also means less protection, so I use QMI 30 wt. Gear Treatment to protect those rear-ends and transmissions. The benefit? Less drag, more protection. I use the QMI Fuel Treatment in all of our gas powered golf cars in the winter during long periods of storage. It keeps the fuel fresh. There's no doubt in my mind that we save a lot of money annually by using QMI products in our golf cars." |

The very next week with two of the four motorcycles treated with QMI Small Engine Treatment, only the two untreated KDX-200's experienced "boil over" in almost the exact same spot. Obviously, the other two are now treated also." |
