Who is using Extralube ZX1?


Motorsports

Extralube ZX1 is the kind of product that can give a motorsports competitor an advantage over the opposition. As such, it can tend to be the kind of product that is kept a closely guarded secret by teams in order to maintain their advantage.

For instance Extralube ZX1 has been supplied to V8 Supercar team members, but it's not likely you'll see a ZX1 sticker on any of the cars because once the teams have used it they would not want their competitors to enjoy the same benefits. Extralube ZX1 has been and is currently used in Formula One, but which cars or teams we cannot say.

Extralube ZX1 has been used in the championship winning car in British Formula 3 every year since 1995. It was used successfully in Australian Formula 3 for the first time in 2006.

Extralube ZX1 was used by Sam Dale in his Mumbo Racing Formula 4000, on the way to 3rd in the Championship in 2006. To read Sam's testimonial letter, see below.

Competitors in other motor racing categories in Australia also benefit from the use of Extralube ZX1, and the cars using it can generally be found at the front of the field.

Heavy Industry and Drilling

ZX1 Products are in regular use in the offshore drilling industry, as the benefits in using the products in reducing wear and downtime has been considerable.

Marine

One of the biggest growth areas of ZX1 is the marine industry. In fact it is so respected in this industry that ZX1 supplied lubricants to all the competitors in the BT Global Challenge, probably one of the hardest Yacht Races in the world.

Road Vehicles

ZX1 products are not limited just to the high tech machinery of racing cars, or the intricate technologies of Oil Rigs, they can benefit you and your own car just as effectively as they benefited Johnny Kane towards the British F3 title in 1997 with Paul Stewart Racing.

Hello John,


I
t has been a few months since I started using your ZX1 oil product in my Shelby Cobra 62 and I wanted to provide feedback. As you know, I enter the Cobra in a number of "spirited demonstrations" around our State where It has beaten all classes over the 4 litre capacity. Since using ZX1 we have seen a demonstrated lift in power output and more noticeable, the engine has always leaked a small amount of oil, even with the previous lumpy engine, which has now stopped and I have not had to add any oil since using your product.

ZX1 has exceeded my expectations and I will now use it in all my vehicles and recommend to my car enthusiasts friends.


Thanks and all the best
Ron …..

Lanmar Agricultural is based in Mildura Vic and services the surrounding agricultural area. Primarily in the area of equipment contracting. We also operate 100 acres of Almond orchards of our own. We have a fleet of 7 tractors ranging from 20hp to 100hp to perform the various tasks required.
Whilst machinery is being used it is of utmost importance that we restrict our down time due to mechanical failure to a minimum. Wear and tear is a constant battle.
Whilst helping my son in his car racing I came across the ZX1 product. We decided to use it in the race car to evaluate whether it could deliver on its claims.
ZX1 increased the cars horsepower and improved our engine life to almost double the time between rebuilds. That car then went on to win 3 National titles and 1 state title.
After experiencing a season on the farms with excessive down time I decided to experiment with ZX1 in my tractor engines, gearboxes and differentials. The improvement in the tractor noise levels was evident immediately. We have since started to use ZX1 grease on our high load bearings and universal joints. Our engine services have been stretched out to twice the distance as recommended by the manufacturer without any detrimental effects. In fact our breakdowns due to wear and tear are almost non existent.
Although ZX1 might appear to be expensive at first we have found it pays for itself very quickly.
I now use ZX1 in all farm machinery, cars and even my motorbikes.
I have no hidden agendas with ZX1 and am happy to pay for all the products I use.

Jesus Racing Protected


Jesus Ute protected by ZX1

In the extreme heat of Darwin many of the teams struggled with engine wear however the Jesus Racing Team was still able to use the lighter oil provided by Mobil 1 thanks to the protective elements provided by the ZX1 product.

Team engineer Luke Sieders said “the category engine builder was not sure the lighter weight oil provided by Mobil 1 would be suitable for the 5.4 ltr V8 motor however we sent samples of the oil through after the Tassie round and he was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the oil.

Craig Haidstead the boss of the control engine provider of the Yokohama V8 ute series was further concerned about using the lighter weight oil up in the heat of Darwin however over the weekend the team took several samples of the oil and the wear was pleasing indeed.

Sieders explains “ the ZX1 product provides a protective coating over the components of the engine, this helps reduce the friction within the motor and assists in horsepower performance, the ZX1 product is no doubt working well alongside the Mobil 1 product, it actually appears to be allowing us to run a lighter oil than expected which great for the team as this results in additional horsepower.


Team owner Andrew “Fishtail” Fisher said “ we are delighted with the results we have received thus far from using the ZX 1 product there is no doubt that is has contributed to the success of the team so far this season, when you are running at the pointy end of the field every little bit counts.

We have run in extreme cold of Tassie and the extreme heat of Darwin and the wear and tear on the engine, gearbox and differential has been basically non-existent thanks to the ZX1 protective agents.

Thanks to the exceptional product supplied by Mobil 1 and the protective agents utilised in ZX1 we have been able to gain additional horsepower and reduce wear and tear. It has been a win/win for the team”.

Dear John,

Regarding;
1998
Honda
VTR 1000F
125,000 kms

Having tried a variety of oil and fuel additives from many different
manufacturers, I will admit to being a bit unsure as to whether ZX1 would do
everything that was suggested it would. Other products seem to be doing well if
they manage half of the claimed benefits.
It is now over a month since I treated my motorbike and I have no hesitation in
saying that it has done everything you claimed it would, and performed much
better than I had initially anticipated.

• It starts first crank, cold, and no choke every time – even when the
temperature is around 15 degrees.
• There has been a noticeable reduction in engine rattle, which is a big
deal in a large V Twin.
• Performance has improved as well, not just in outright power, but also in
smoothness of delivery.
• Fuel economy has seen an improvement of close to 9%.
• Chain stays shiny (lubricated) longer and rattles less.
• Gearshifts have improved slightly and there seems to be less dropping
out of second.

All of this on a 1000cc bike with over 125,000 kilometers on it!!!
It is quite likely that these improvements will mean that the cost of the additive
will be won back in much less than 12 months, on the basis of fuel savings and
extended chain life.
This is a product I am more than happy to recommend and will be using in my
other vehicles as is necessary.

Regards,

"The ZX1 products performed far above expectation in all conditions. These varied from the hot humid weather of the tropics to the freezing conditions of the Southern Ocean."

Chay Blyth: The Challenge Business - BT Global Challenge Yacht Race

"Having introduced the Challenge Skippers and Crew to the ZX1 range of lubricants they now ask for the product by name from us as their preferred product. I firmly believe that the use of the product has significantly added to the smooth running of the yachts..."

Dumitru Alexandru: Upetrom - Mai S.A. Romania

(Largest Oilfield Equipment Manufacturer in South East Europe)

"We have heated the screw taps (for threading alloy steels) at a temperature of 140°C and we have dipped them in ZX1 Oil for a time interval of 7 - 8 minutes. The working period of the cutter has increased 7 - 8 times by repeating the treatment after a number of 70 - 80 uses."

"Now we are extending the use of ZX1 Oil to the High Precision Instrument Treatment."

Dr S. G. J. : Herts, used ZX1 in his BMW and 2 Harley Davidson Motorcycles

"Having used your ZX1 products now since early this year I felt I had to write to congratulate you on the performance of these products which have exceeded my expectations.... Since putting ZX1 Extralube in my BMW 325i the engine performance has noticeably improved with very prompt starting and smoother running. The most noticeable effect has been with petrol consumption, increasing from approximately 240 miles per tank to consistently over 300 miles per tank of urban driving."

Pascal Quintard: Rig Superintendent Sedco - Forex.

"At first many thanks for your ZX1. Which for sure helped us to reduce our non productive rig time"

"At present our wash pipe has a total of 850 hrs. with no show of any leaks,... I will inform you of the results and the packing condition at time of failure. You may have to wait a while..."

Martin Donnelly - Martin Donnelly Racing (ex Lotus F1 driver)

"Everytime we used ZX1 Engine Oil in the European Races and Tests we saw a significant improvement in engine performance.... Also ZX1 Synthetic Supergrease gave excellent service in our wheel bearings and c/v joints, allowing free movement with no drag and very little component wear."

Mr A.W. M.Inst.MSM. : Northumberland

"... can report that having done about 5,000 miles in the Jaguar and 7,000 miles in the Rover, (both cars are now in their 8th year, being 1990's on 'G' plates) are running beautifully, the engines being noticeably "smoother" especially on cold starts in the current freezing temperatures, and the M.P.G. of the Rover has improved by about 4 mpg from the previous 31 / 32 mpg to around 35 / 36 and this all on local running..."

M.J. Stevens: Director, Arc Ltd.

"Average bearing life has increased... This represents a considerable saving in downtime for these machines and we are now using ZX1 Grease on all other bearings on these and other items of plant."

David J. Minister: Minister Racing Engines Ltd

"By using this product we saw a gain of approximately 1.5 B.H.P. This we can assure you is a significant gain in these closely fought formulae."

Mr N.B.: East Sussex, used ZX1 in his 10 year old BMW 525E

"I purchased a 250ml bottle of Extralube ZX1... administered the liquid to my 10 year old BMW 525E with 80,000 miles on the clock. The results were immediate and permanent thus far. It appears to do everything you claim, including and especially during the recent very cold weather, give excellent cold start protection. The fact that prior to using ZX1 my fuel consumption had fallen to around 27 mpg and has now returned to 30 + mpg speaks volumes. All this I might add before the cars been tuned !."

Chris Dinnage: Team Manager, Classic Team Lotus

"We are very pleased with the performance of ZX1 Supergrease and we believe the use of ZX1 Oil Additive has enhanced the power output of our engines.".......

"Obviously we will only use the ZX1 range of Superlubes in these cars as we have done for the last 5 years."

Steve Robertson: Indy Lights Champion - USA - 1994

"The performance of Extralube ZX1 Oil, ZX1 Supergrease and C 60 Spray Lube in reducing friction and wear and providing extra performance was very significant and of great benefit to the team."
