Preventative Maintenance Lubrication

“We grow cane and horticultural crops and run a Laser Levelling operation in the Bowen District. Most of our laser work involves the maintenance of land in the widely recognised horticultural industry here. Much of the time we tow two 14 metre scoops behind a 400hp Case IH 9280 tractor. During the filling phase of the scoops, the rear axle can be subjected to loads of up to 80 tonnes. Three well recognized, widely available branded gear oils were used in the past, with all three products exhibiting decisive colour changes at the 500hr mark. All three were black at 750hrs. Our mechanic introduced us to PM Lubrication's MultiGearLife. I can report a stunning turnaround. The axles/planetaries are running cooler. At 1,400 hrs, the oil is still a healthy red colour with a real possibility of seeing 2,000hrs in the first interval. Regular onsite monitoring by PM, is enabling us to optimize the service life of the lubricant. For the oil to be in the condition that it is at these hours, the componentry must have been better protected during this time.”

"Working across mine sites in the Bowen Basin, we have found transmission and final drive temperatures are down while oil change periods have tripled to 3,000 hours."

“I own a Lubesafe, oil quality analyser and have experienced significant savings, resulting in increased service life in the oil and much longer engine life. PM Lubricants cost effective claims are true – much less oil with a lot longer life. Less downtime and more vehicle availability in a winner in a business where scheduling is everything.”

“A mate of mine told me about a PM Lubrication gear oil he was using in his harvester. I am so pleased he did as I was having issues with the oil I was using. At 200 hours the oil in the hubs was black. A bit sceptical at first I tried the oil and found the oil is still red at 200 hours. Now up to 320 hours with the same oil and it stills looks OK. Took a small sample and had it tested at PM in town, only to find a low contaminant level. The same oil continues to lower the previous temperatures and provide protection. Have since switched the rest of the machine over to PM. The chopper box is also 8 to 10 degrees cooler. I would recommend PM Lubrication.”

“I own a 2008 Nissan Xtrail which was starting to rack up kilometers and my son who is a local mechanic had seen the results in vehicles that were using PM and were brought to him for servicing, recommended I try using a PM engine oil in the Nissan. Now 30,000kms later, I am pleased the change was made. The petrol engine is quieter and smoother. The Xtrail has had many return trips to Toowoomba over the years and I can report a small decrease in fuel consumption on trips to this destination compared to many similar trips in the past using other oils. Another thing I have noticed is that the oil has held its colour much longer than previous oils used. I will continue using PM. Very happy. ”

“I have a 2004 Mazda Tribute V6 petrol wagon which was due for an oil change in mid-2012. I'd heard good things about PM Lubrication through word of mouth and, given the age & mileage (140,000km) of the Tribute, thought I'd give it a go. Motor Life Premium was recommended for the Tribute and I immediately noticed an improvement in engine performance and fuel economy, which I could only put down to changing to this premium quality oil. A recent onsite oil analysis (nearly 2 years and 25,000km later) indicates I still have at least 12 months normal motoring before I need to consider an oil change. I had also been using premium ULP fuel to try & get a bit extra from the engine. I changed back to standard ULP but started adding about 50mls of PM800 fuel system conditioner to each tank full. Even more improvement than using PULP was noticed, at a cheaper overall cost than PULP. I can't recommend PM Lubrication products enough.”

“I have been running PM Lubrication lubricants for about 4 years now in my Landcruiser 100 series with great success. I started using the oil at 300 000 in my engine and I now have 470 000 with an average of 25000 oil changes. At this time the oil is still brown and Brian has kept an eye on it with regular testing in house to inform me of the condition of the oil. Testing at 25000 still shows the oil is not even quarter contaminated. I was recommended the product by a friend and started telling other people about PM and they are also having great results. Highly recommend this product and dealing with Brian. Using PM works out to be very cost effective as the oil changes are extended.”
