Applications for Buses
Normal oil and filter changes for school buses range from
3,000 miles on gasoline engines and 6,000 miles on diesel
engines.
Because of the individual PetroSavers system approach to each engine’s
crankcase capacity, the oil in each engine is completely refined a
minimum of five (5) times per hour, regardless of the amount of oil
that is in the crankcase.
All PetroSavers Engine Oil Refiner Pacs and engine oil filters
will last 20,000 miles or 2,000 engine
hours before needing to be changed, versus
3,000 miles for gasoline engines and
6,000 miles or 250 engine hours for diesel engines.
The Results
Over the past five (5) years, more than
130 school buses successfully accumulated
more than 2.88 million miles without
an oil change with the use of the PetroSavers
Engine Oil Refiner. This includes six
(6) different makers, eight (8) different
types of diesel engines,
and three (3) types of gasoline engines. They are:
The eight (8) diesel engines include:
| 1) |
International DT-466E |
| 2) |
Freightliner 3126 (7.2) Caterpillar |
| 3) |
Freightliner C-7 Caterpillar |
| 4) |
Bluebird 5.9 Cummings |
| 5) |
Chevrolet 8.2 (General Motors) |
| 6) |
International 7.3 |
| 7) |
International 444-E |
| 8) |
Freightliner 3116 Caterpillar |
The three (3) diesel engines include:
| 1) |
Chevrolet 350 |
| 2) |
Chevrolet 366 |
| 3) |
Ford 370 |
The following are comments from just one satisfied PetroSavers customer:
“As you are aware, over the past five (5) years, since
our initial installation of your PetroSavers Engine Oil Refiner on
December 30, 1998, our entire fleet of 130 school buses, as of March 26, 2004,
has cumulatively made 2.88 million miles without an oil change.”
“If you calculate at the cost of $75.00 per oil change per bus, with
the elimination of just eight (8) oil changes, we have paid the initial cost
associated with both the purchase and installation labor of
the PetroSavers Engine Oil Refiner. This represents a Gross Savings
of $494,325.00 over the 13-year life of our fleet.”
“After deducting the servicing costs of: (1) the PetroSavers Refiner
Pac changes every 20,000 miles, (2) oil filter changes, (3) oil make-up, and
(4) service labor, our minimal Net Savings is $375,000.00
or $28,846.00 per year.”
