Are Synthetic Lubricants Really Better?
Competition racing requires getting the most horsepower out of an engine as possible. This must be tempered with ability of a lubricant to protect the engine. Most people do not have unlimited funds to gain the very max in HP at the sacrifice of the engine. It's time for engine oil that gives the HP gains synthetics do and at the same time protect the engine even better than the heavy petroleum oils used for many years.
Using a top quality premium solvent neutral base stock with an additive package that incorporates some synthetic additive packages along with newest technology VI improvers and friction modifiers the ability to manufacture a truly custom blend oil that is far superior to any petroleum and meets and exceeds HP gains with synthetics is a reality. This is the need ULX-110 has addressed.
ULX-110 is a highly refined emerald green crankcase oil, engineered from top quality solvent neutral base stocks, and the very best nonshear viscosity index improvers, along with three performance additives, ULX-110 also contains 2 specialty additives, one a completely oil soluble friction reducer with anti-wear and extreme pressure properties, and a unique viscosity stabilizer and acid neutralizer ingredient.

There seems to be a certain amount of confusion about who makes the best motor oil. A lot of emphasis today is put on synthetics. It reminds me of the 70's when all the professional ball teams had to have astro turf. Now everyone is realizing the "synthetic" grass leaves a lot to be desired and the new stadiums are not using it. And remember Polyester double knit "Leisure" suits? Comparably, as synthetic oils are becoming more widely used its shortcomings are becoming more pronounced. Engine builders are expressing problems with detonation due to poor wiping of synthetic oils coupled with the fact that synthetic oil does not burn as easily as do petroleum oils. As the piston returns on compression stoke, the oil that didn't wipe completely off is forced on top of the piston and since it doesn't burn, it will pile up on the top of the piston and up compression until you get detonation. Another problem expressed is leaking due to; the reaction of synthetic base stocks with gaskets and seals, and because of the very nature of the thin viscosity. Synthetic oil base stock contains no solvent quality therefore resulting in a greater problem in carbon and sludge builds up. Cylinder scuffing piston scuffing are serious problems associated with the thin viscosity of synthetic.
ULX-110's Performance results show:
Increased engine life
Increased compression & horsepower
Increased oil change intervals
Increased MPG
Reduced maintenance costs
Reduced blow by & oil consumption
Test results show ULX-110 is simply superior to commercial oils
"Below is that data that we acquired on the oil testing we did in a 9.1:1 circle track engine using a 390 CFM carburetor. We started and broke in the engine on Havoline 20W-50 racing grade oil, making several adjustments and corrections to assure that the engine was producing its maximum torque and horsepower. We then drained the Havoline Oil out to the dry sump system, cleaning out the oil lines and the holding tank.
Next, we added the ULX-110 20W-50 oil, not even getting it as hot as we rand the Havoline oil, we made three consecutive power funs to acquire the data for comparison.
The results were pretty convincing. An average increase in horsepower was seen on the test runs we made between 5600 RPM's and 7500 RPM's. Figures calculate that the oil produced 4.4 horsepower more over that RPM span, with an increase in the torque on the band over the same range of 3.4FT. LBS. There was also a slight drop in the amount of fuel used.
