DX1 Fuel Lubricants: Problem Solver for Right Now While We Wait for New Fuels
DX1 has been tested by our customers around the world on carbon and bio based fuels.
Most of our customers consider DX1 lubricants to be a "competitive advantage" that contributes to the overall success of their business. Some of our customers, however, are willing to share publicly the results of their use of DX1 to help get the word out about its benefits and to help us all attain our goal of clean air and a cleaner environment.
- Tested in automobiles, trucks, buses, generators, ships, trains, and open-flame furnaces and boilers.
- Currently in use in the USA, Mexico, Philippines, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia and Europe.
- The longest test of Omstar's DX1 FUEL & OIL was for 4 million miles in 30 LAX (Los Angeles CA Airport) shuttle buses tested from 1988-1992.
- In every test, Omstar lubricants have saved fuel and significantly reduced emissions.
Agnico Eagle Mines (Canada)
Agnico Eagle Mines owns five large mines in Canada, Mexico, and Finland. The “La India” gold mine in Mexico tested DX1 for 14 months in five, 1.3 megawatt generators. Fuel costs dropped by 9.6% and generator efficiency increased by 10%. SO2 emissions dropped by 79.4% and NOx by 11.7%. Agnico now uses DX1 for its generators and large truck operations.
Coca Cola FEMSA (Mexico)
Coca Cola FEMSA owns 47,000 long-haul trucks supplying 70% of Mexico with Coca-Cola products. They tested DX1 FUEL & OIL and achieved a 5% improvement in fuel economy. In their bottling plant boilers, Omstar DX1 RESIDUAL testing resulted in fuel savings of 9.3%.
Sumifru
Sumifru is the world’s third largest fruit distributor. A fuel economy test of DX1 FUEL & OIL in Sumifru's large diesel trucks resulted in a 13% reduction of diesel fuel consumed. SumiFru is expanding use of DX1 to the entire truck fleet, as well as to its their boilers and generators.
Victory Liner
Victory Liner is one of the largest bus lines in the Philippines with over 500 buses. They tested DX1 FUEL & OIL with positive results in 2008, meeting all of their environmental requirements. Today, they are using the lubricant for all of the 194 Victory Liner buses.
Philippine Coast Guard
The Philippines Coast Guard tested DX on its ships and rescue vessels and saw a 25% reduction in heavy fuel oil consumption. The lubricant completely dissolved the heavy asphaltenes in the bottom of the fuel tanks, and cleaned the fuel system.
San Miguel Brewery
The San Miguel brewery provides beer and other beverages for all of the Philippines. They tested Omstar DX1 FLAME in their boilers, reducing overall fuel costs by 7.76%. Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) emissions were reduced by 17.21% after only a few hours.
Los Angeles Airport Authority Bus Systems
Thirty LAX buses were tested with DX1 FUEL & OIL for four years and 4,000,000 miles (6.4 Million kilometers). Smoke opacity was reduced 87% and fleet fuel economy was improved. When the maintenance manager rebuilt the first diesel engine that had participated in the test, he found that wear on the cylinders and valves was so low because of the reduction in friction provided by DX1 lubricant that he extended the engine overhaul interval from 300,000 miles to 400,000 miles (480,000 to 640,000 kms).
