1 BestLine International Research Inc. TEST SUMMARY BestLine International Research Inc., has developed a technologically advanced line of high performance industrial and consumer SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS for the automotive, sports, marine and industrial markets. The potential market for BestLine products could have sales in the millions each year. In addition, with the current high cost of crude oil, any proven energy saving product, such as BestLine s, has increased significance and potential. The base formula that BestLine utilizes in all its lubricating products is an advanced, patent pending technology, that significantly lowers friction and wear characteristics while increasing the load bearing capabilities of any conventional lubricant to a degree never before seen in any formulation or additive. The BestLine product line includes multi-grade engine oils, oil fortifiers and additives, transmission/gear lubricants, fuel conditioners for gasoline and diesel engines, as well as household lubricants. Unlike other companies, BestLine has subjected its product to the rigors of industry-accepted tests conducted by world-renowned laboratories.

2 ENVIROMENTALY FRIENDLY BASE OIL: BestLine s base oil is processed by way of hydrolsomerization. The finished product is 99.9% pure and is know for it value as a pharmaceutical product. The product is clear, odorless and tasteless. The base oil offers: Very High viscosity Index Environmentally friendly Low Volatility Superior Oxidation resistance High thermal Stability Excellent Low temperature Fluidity Low Toxicity IN-HOUSE TESTING: The BestLine Diesel Fuel Treatment with SRT formulation was tested in-house on a two cylinder, air- cooled diesel engine with a Kato 2.5kw generator. The diesel engine was a naturally aspirated and was run under various load draw conditions, which included 1.0 kw, 1.5 kw and 3kw. The engine was run at the operating temperature, oil drained, replaced, injectors pulled, inspected, cleaned, calibrated and re-assembled. The engine was run at 75% throttle monitoring through the rev counter. Fuel was calibrated at 475 ml and the consumption time was monitored with various loads and averaged over the 24-hour test period. Although this is not a true representation of highway driving, it is a repeatable fuel efficiency test, while under strictly controlled conditions. The fuel was weighed and measured, and our data shows the following savings in fuel usage: 1.0 oz Fuel Treatment Per Ten Gallons: Savings of % 1.5 oz Fuel Treatment Per Ten Gallons: Savings of % 2.0 oz Fuel Treatment Per Ten Gallons: Savings of % 2.5 oz Fuel Treatment Per Ten Gallons: Savings of % Note: This test is an invalidated non ASTM D test. INDEPENDENT SCIENTIFIC TESTING: The BestLine Products have been subjected to a number of tests including the following: The Sequence VIB (Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio, Texas): Also known as the ASTM D 6837, this test measures the effects of automotive engine oils on fuel economy. When BestLine s Engine Treatment was added to a 10W30 oil (one that made no claim that it could pass the Sequence VIB it did not have a GF-4 rating) to create a 10% blend, the results proved that any oil, with BestLine added, can achieve the fuel economy requirements established for the low friction engines in today s automobiles. 2

3 Those same results actually demonstrated that a10w30 oil with BestLine added, is capable of surpassing the fuel economy standards established for a 5W30 oil, while at the same time providing superior protection. The Sequence VIII (Intertek Automotive Research, San Antonio, Texas): This test evaluates the lubricant s performance in combating bearing wear and measures viscous shear stability. An engine is run at high speed (3150 rpms) under extreme conditions (oil heated to 295 F approximately 100 higher than an engine would normally run) for 40 hours. Bearing weight loss and viscosity changes are then measured. BestLine s Engine Treatment was added to a 10W30 oil (that could not pass the test) in sufficient quantity to make an 8% blend. The low bearing weight loss easily passed the test. The picture at left, published by Intertek, shows a set of bearings, with significant scoring, that passed the test. The picture at right shows a pristine bearing after a test with BestLine. Normally, as an oil starts to break down, the oil either thins out (lower viscosity and loss of protection) or thickens (higher viscosity with a build up of sludge in the engine). With BestLine added, at the end of the test, there was absolutely no change in viscosity. This demonstrates superior performance and stability. HFRR: High Frequency Reciprocating Rig Lubricity Test (Intertek, California): Also known as the ASTM D 6079, this test measures the suitability of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel for use in 2006 or older diesel engines. When BestLine s Diesel Fuel Treatment with SRT is added to ULSD, wear is reduced by over 25% from what is deemed acceptable. 1. The CRC L-38 was completed with success on the Synthetic Engine Oil Treatment in San Antonio, Texas at Perkin Elmer/Intertek in the early stages of product development. The results from the test demonstrated the ability of the product to substantially reduce bearing wear, maintain oil viscosity while scoring 58.3 out of possible 60 points on reduced in varnish deposit and 58.8 out of possible 60 points on reduction of sludge deposits. The test was completed using a 15% Blend of the Synthetic Engine Treatment blended with 10W 30 motor oil and was subjected to 53 hours of severe testing. 2. Sequence VIII A The oil used in the test was blended with a 10% blend of BestLine s Engine Treatment and subjected to 40 hours of severe testing. The results demonstrated BestLine s ability to resist bearing wear and retain an engine oil cleanliness and viscosity. Once again the test was run at the Perkin Elmer/Intertek engine test facility. 3

4 3. Sequence VIB (Test Method D 6837). The test is designed to Measure the effects of Automotive Engine Oils on the Fuel Economy of Passenger Cars and Light Trucks used a blend of GF-3 oil and 8% blend of BestLine Engine Treatment. The test was conducted at South West Research Institute in San Antonio. The test was conducted over 96 hours of severe engine running. BestLine was able to take a non-energy conserving GF-3 motor oil, add BestLine Engine Treatment and maintain viscosity of the oil through the complete test. Further after 16 hours, Improved Fuel Consumption had to be a minimum of 1.1 to qualify while BestLine recorded Further after 96 hours of running the candidate oil it must demonstrate a reduced fuel consumption of 0.08 or better. BestLine s candidate oil recorded an outstanding 1.51 in reduced fuel consumption. BestLine was able to demonstrate it s Synthetic Engine Oil Treatment when added to a non-energy conserving oil (GF-3), out performed the new GF-4 Energy conserving oil required for new cars and light trucks. 4. HFRR: High Frequency Reciprocating Rig Lubricity Test. ASTM D Intertek Caleb Brett conducted tests. The test conforms to the EN 590 specification and is run to BS ISO , IP 450 or ASTM D 6079 test method. Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel is tested to monitor the wear factor of the diesel fuel when run neat. BestLine s Diesel Fuel Treatment with Sulfur Replacement Technology (SRT) was added to the ultra low sulfur diesel and the wear factor once again tested. The test is repeated and the scores are recorded. BestLine s Synthetic Diesel Fuel Treatment with SRT demonstrated a reduced wear factor of over 25% when added to Ultra Low sulfur diesel. Numerous bench test and 4-ball test have been performed. The following average is for wear, friction and heat using a 10% blend of the BestLine Engine Treatment when added to synthetic or mineral base motor oil. The test is conducted using a constant load factor and metalto-metal contact within an oil bath. The test recorded reduction of friction using the reading on the power usage (ampere draw) temperature reduction (measuring bath oil temperature drop) and wears by measuring the wear scar reduction. The following are averages after numerous repeated tests. Friction Reduced (average): 17.0% Temperature Reduced (average): 25.0% Wear Reduced (average): 47.0% BENEFITS FROM USING BESTLINE ENGINE TREATMENT AND FUEL TREATMENT PRODUCTS: Improved Fuel Efficiency Increased Power Output 4
