Patent number: 8039424Abstract: It is known by the inventor that a universal synthetic lubricant additive that can greatly enhance the performance standards of existing lubricants, petroleum based or synthetic, imparts a new and desirable property not originally present in the existing oil or it reinforces a desirable property already possessed in some degree can greatly benefit the consumer. Although additives of many diverse types have been developed to meet special lubrication needs, their principal functions are relatively few in number.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2010Date of Patent: October 18, 2011Assignee: BestLine International Research, Inc.Inventor: Ronald J.
