Synlube

Even today you can buy parts for WV Bug (made in China) but not from VW dealer.

You can buy all the 1960's FORD Mustang parts but not from FORD.

No OEM currently has a Business model to keep old cars on the road, NONE.

In the past only two companies ever made effort to have parts for OLD cars:

1.) PORSCHE - and that got reduced recently

2.) ROLLS-ROYCE - and that got cancelled by the new German owners - as "idiotical business tactic, that has no place in modern world" Quote from German Auto magazine when they had article on recent auction of all BENTLEY and ROLLS ROYCE parts they had in inventory - some for 1928 and 1932 vehicles that they only made hand full of !!!

I used to have 1969 RR Shadow and had absolutely no problem from Chaisson Motors (RR Dealer)to get anything and everything (at a price of course) the moment Germans took over - they went out of business (the RR Dealer, the only one in Las Vegas) and no more RR parts at ANY PRICE - only a RR junk yars in Brentwood, CA would have them (used and new) - and eventually I sold them my SynLube'd RR - just so other RR fanatics could derive benefit from it.

BREMACH is the only Italian company I know of still in business that can from their parts inventory MAKE NEW 25 years ago model !!!

I actually saw them make one when I was there last November - amazing !!! (EXTREME)

But that is 4x4 6Ton truck - not too practical for driving on Las Vegas Blvd.

But hey it will be a hit in Mercury !!!!

Part is easily available, lots of them are generic, and most can be adapted if needed. We use to make junk setup out of some Volkswagen using the 1.8 liter engine couple years ago, ecu from corrado g60, engine head from a g60,oil pan turbo and downpipe from a 1.6 td or 1.9td,voila you had around 170 hp for very low costunder 800 box. Useless example… yes, the point?

All this info is easily available on the net; everyone can read and turn a wrench, yet people don’t want to, they want to turn the key and drive A to B, why would you blame the auto maker? The user asking maintenance free vehicle, user don’t want to get involve, user are the one changing vehicle each 4 year because they want it new ,all they care about is the 2010 label on it.

Lots of part can be take from another model, be rebuilt like new, found in near new condition in most scrap yard, hell they even have an online database now nationwide, telling you the shape of the part you need…..After market offer a wide variety of part, most of them better then oem.

So are vehicle less reliable? No, not at all customer are, tell me why if you go in some other country, they can run the same vehicle for twice the mileage? We need to change our mentality , people rather buy again and again instead of fixing or overhauling stuff. The Wal-Mart generation, don’t need to pay when it broke ill just buy another one.

I have no problems getting parts even for a Vintage 93 Ford. Heck my uncle's 250 I6 Chevy powered boat is still running, and he can get parts for it.

That engine is from the early 1970's, and he can still buy that same engine w/o any issues.

AD

I see that he still can't come up with the documents that support his contention that scamlube er..... synlube passed those tests.

Scamlube can pontificate all they want. This bottom feeder company has never passed or participated in any test.

Miro and all the other names he posts under is nothing but a bladder of hot air, who never manages to say anything.

It's a bottom feeder company folks. Now Miro go polish that turd of a Yugo.

Bremach uses Scamlube!! What a joke...

It is really funny how you defend the old cars, even where there is data from NHTSA about "longevity", so really since there already are 5 cars out there for every 4 licensed drivers the USA should shoot down, GM, Chrysler, and BAN imports - and let's keep the clunkers going !

Now you have to convince 14 to 16 million people WITH MONEY that are also both INCOME TAX payers and Voters - to follow the example of dictatorships like CUBA and ALBANIA that is perfectly fine to keep 36 year old car running and it is a sin to junk anything that is less than 50 years old.

It should be lot easier to convince everybody to just slow down and get 40% better fuel economy by doing so, and thus eliminate 90% of the oil imports !

Should be as easy, logically, as to make sure all people speak the same language everywhere (English of course), and have the same religion and eat the same food.

Welcome to the Orwell World !!!

You should realize that your thoughts and presentations put you into the less than 2% fringe that neither modern business, nor politicians care about or care for.

Yes you can get parts from junk yards, and non OEM sources - put the point is you can not get them from your Franchised NEW CAR DEALER !

Just think for a moment, if every dealer supported every car ever made, they would have to add 2 mechanics every year, and build one additional service stall every year and add 10x30 parts storage to their parts Department, that is average, and if it is a Toyota dealer they would have to triple that just to keep with the NEW CARS they sell annually...

But that is not happening!

WHY - because they give up on the more than 5 year old cars, parts for them and people who are silly to still drive them...

REAL LIFE - Better get used to it !!!

2% or less fringe does not pay the UAW pensions or salaries, but the people who buy NEW cars do !

And if you do not live in Major City, the auto industry already does not want you as a customer either - or else they would not close over 3,000 dealers mostly in rural areas.

Really if people did not junk 14 million cars annually, there would be no salvage yards, if they did not buy till last year 16 million new cars annually there would be no Auto Industry and the vehicle population would not grow to almost 300 million cars & trucks.
What ever opinion you may have about auto industry just does not mesh with facts, data and no matter how much existence you like to have in the Internet virtual life where there are no sludge problems, people do their own oil changes every 3,000 miles and NEVER BUY new car !
Did it ever occur to you that for every new car transaction there were two or three used car transactions?
Did it ever occur to you that majority of people sell their used car because they are tired of the problems with it, what ever they may be, because it costs too much to fix ?
26 years of data indicate that on per mile basis it costs MORE to drive used car than a new one, but everyone that I ever saw to buy a used car is totally convinced they got a deal, the past owner was idiot for selling it, etc. etc.
Then 18 to 36 months they can not wait to get rid of that “perfect” car and get yet another “great” used car deal – They seem to NEVER learn, but thank God they do not, or else there would be no market for the USED cars….

And yet more useless, inane, off topic as kirkie would say, pontificating.

Still can't produce the documents that show you passed those tests you claim you did.

He can spin facts and specs like a New York politician. Although much of what he says is gobbledygook.

With his track record so far, he couldn't fall out of a boat and hit water.

Scan alert, scam alert, Run Away, Run Away.

If the cars are such garbage as Miro points out why spend close to $200 on an oil change using his wonder oil?

Funny my dad bought nothing but used cars all the years I was living home. Typically 2-3 year old vehicles, he said let someone else take the money hit up front. Most of the cars he bought he kept 10-15 years, and was still able to sell them. Imagine that.

AD

If people bought as many cars as he claimed, GM and Chrysler wouldn't of needed a bail out.

One of the best cars I ever had was a 1968 Chevy Nova. It was well cared for before I got it. Was well cared for until a hit and run driver totaled it.

BTW, I bought it in 1987. Never had a problem getting parts for it.

"Past performance of any Brand or Make or Model of any vehicle has virtually NO predictive ability for future long term performance of any similar vehicle"

Right out of Consumer Reports.

So are you following your fathers tire tracks ?

Let me know in 2025 if you are still driving your just bought 2007.

If you do and have over 150,000 original miles on it, contact me and I will give you $2,500 for it - 10 times its future, rather predictable value (Based of R L Polk, depreciation data)

The only thing you can predict with 100% certainty is that 10 year old vehicle has virtually no value - it has been so for 36 years in USA.

It is also documented that once the car is more than 15 years old, the annual maintenance costs exceed its value.

So again if MONEY is no object and you want to drive OLD car at per mile premium cost, you can probably do so.

690,000 people have proven that they rather have a NEW car if someone (US Congress) offers them $3,500 to $4,500 to get NEW vehicle whose average purchase price was $26,873.

Getting "off the subject" NO NOT Really -

Just offering experience that "Lube-4-Life" is really what we trademark (unlike AMSOIL's "First in Synthetics" a trademarked lie)

Longest EPA or CARB test for vehicle longevity is 150,000 miles or 15 year (equivalent) since such mileage accumulation is done in 9 months, even EPA admits the reliability of such "accelerated test" is only 45%.

That is there is 55% statistical change that 2010 NEW vehicle certified to the longest CARB PZEV will NOT last in service for that long !

Again all that information is available from NHTSA, EPA, CARB.

What we do is offer FREEDOM FROM OIL CHANGES for the duration of the "useful life" of any NEW vehicle - following the Government established guidelines and definitions of "useful life" that is except IRS as they since 1970 still hold the "useful life" of any vehicle used in Business 100% of the time as 5 years or 50,000 miles.

Any UOA are irrelevant if we absolutely Warranty any Lubricated part for the 15 years or 150,000 miles - either with 5 year or 50,000 miles or change, or provision of 4 oz of used SynLube at those intervals, which is what most customers choose, since at 5 years they have to change to Oil Filter anyway, and draining 4 oz from USED Oil filter is not such a big deal for most, even if it is done by a mechanic for them.

However NOT Changing oil is a BIG DEAL for ALL Our customers - They let us know that daily in e-mails and phone messages.

So should we listen to 68,000 customers that over the years have proven SynLube in now over 250,000 vehicles and do what we were doing since 1985 in USA, or close down the business because a dozen nay sayers that never saw a drop of our products decided it is not possible for such product to exist?

On personal level like challenges!

In 1982 when Honda Civic sold for $7,000 and people were waiting in line for one, I have proven and delivered a car that coasted $1,625 to manufacturer and 168,000 Americans Bought one - and many who did would buy another if it was available today - the YUGO.
In those days I was driving Rolls Royce Silver Shadow 1969 MY – and once I brought the first 3 YUGO to use I got dozen License frames made that said “My other car is Rolls Royce” and three more that said my other car is YUGO, that of course I put on the RR.
No one have ever seen any such plate before 1982, but since then just one company that made them sold 1.2 million of them ! Most of them I guess did not end up on a YUGO as there were not 1.2 million of them in USA, but few did, I saw some of them myself.

What Bricklin did to and with YUGO, when I sold him the distribution rights was His business, and not mine, I started the “Yugomania” – a Brand awareness that Advertising Age, listed as the most successful advertising campaign of all times, making the BRAND YUGO awareness of 98% in just 9 months, with total investment of $7,500 = equivalent to advertising campaign of $400 million dollars!
Even ALL of you have heard and know the YUGO Brand – not one person I met in last 26 years did not know YUGO, such was the impact of three little cars exhibited in 1984 – still famous after all these years…
The book ironically titled as Worst Car - already sold over 10,000 copies and the second printing is now in progress.

So quite often the "perception" does not match with reality!

62% of people in USA still think that "heavier objects fall faster" - quite logical - especially since for about 10,000 years of documented history no one ever bothered to check, it was so "obvious"!

What is sad is that in 2010 that many people are still totally ignorant of "reality"...

Just ask and do you own research!

Honestly you have no clue , talk about oil if you want to, stay away from stuff you know nothing bout.…..all vehicle are cross platform most of the engine will be find in several vehicle even in other brand in lots of case.

Ford, Mazda Lincoln, Mercury, Aston martin and Volvo have been sharing engine for years.

Dodge, Mitsubishi, Plymouth, Eagle, Chrysler, some Hyundai, some Bmw and Jeep.

Subaru has been shared with Toyota several times.

Chevy, Pontiac, Gmc, Daewoo, Oldsmobile, Buick, Holden, Cadillac and Toyota is here to damn in Japan you could buy a cavalier at a Toyota dealer under their name ….

Saturn did use Honda engine for couple years….

Volkswagen, Lamborghini, Bugatti , Seat ,Skoda and Audi.

I’m missing quite few but you get the point, they don’t make a new engine every 2 year they reuse the same again and again damn the same block was use in the VW for almost 30 year!. Off course, injection, antipollution system is updated made more efficient.

You are the one who should think for a moment and stop writing your own opinion on subject you know nothing about.

Yugo is one of the worse care ever made....a pure piece of unsafe junk . I would be ashame to even mention i was the one pushing these thing if i was you

Miro, I enjoy reading your posts. I have absolutely no idea how accurate your numbers are, and frankly, I don't care very much if some of the numbers aren't bang on. You keep proving again and again your knowledge of the automotive industry and the oil biz.

On the other hand, it's obvious to readers that the few "naysayers" as they are known in this thread, and others, have little knowledge on either subject.

Want proof? Work your way down from the top of this page and read the brilliant prose presented for all to see from:

* Trajan
* Nucleardawg
* snakedoctor

That kind of talk is typical for the past 20-odd pages or so from those three and their class.

Malcolm Bricklin, he of the Bricklin SV1, wouldn't be satisfied until he had forced every American to walk to work. To that end, in 1985, he began importing the Yugo GV, which turned out to be the Mona Lisa of bad cars

Wow, $10. Not much of a bargain.

Blah Blah Blah...Copy and Paste...Absolutely nobody cares about "Your" opinion on used cars.

I believe the subjects is/was the out and out lies SCAMLUBE passes off as "The Facts".

SCAMLUBE is a company without credibility and the "posters/posers" who defend it, are without credibilty and honor.

On the contrary Nucleardaw, unlike anything you have posted here, I found it interesting. Have a nice evening.

@ Inhalliburton: If you find ANYTHING thst boob has to say is interesting then your a bigger moron then Miro.

The cult of SCAMLUBE

What can you expect? Pro synlube yet afraid to use it.

That alone speaks highly of the product.

Yeah, I would hate to be taken in by Miro, the flim flam man. It's so obvious, I believe Ray Charles would have been able to see it.

Now you not only provide stories about fake 2007 BMW Z, now you have to resort to fake links as well to prove your NON POINT !

Now, where did we put that file? We either moved it or removed it. In the meantime, can we offer you something else on the menu?

OH they just had to remove it once they found you were reading it !!!

Quite a reputation you have built for yourself !!
