California "Before I recommend an upgrade to a synthetic oil

I work with my customers to evaluate the benefits against the higher cost of the product." "Like Catalina Express. Before the company decided to upgrade their fleet of passenger vessels to Mobilgard SHC 120, we worked with them to test the oil's effectiveness in one of their boat's hard-working Detroit Diesel 149 Series engines." "Since they switched to our synthetic lube, the boat hasn't had an oil-related failure in more than 4,000 hours. The engines have less wear. Oil consumption has decreased. And the vessel's oil drain interval has increased from 250 to over 2,000 hours." "In fact, Catalina Express cancelled a planned overhaul of the boat because of the synthetic oil's performance. They're now projecting savings of more than $80,000 in maintenance costs by the end of 1996." "How can we help you? Please call me if you'd like to discuss your vessel's lube requirements. My phone number is 1-800-MIAMI-79, extension 1826.'
