Testimonials from our customers.

Bimrose Lubricants have now been used in motor cars, trucks and machinery applications for the past 13 years. Over that time there have been many interesting stories, most from  happy users who have eliminated wear from their cars, trucks and all other machinery.  Of course there have been some instances where BIMROSE LUBRICANTS were introduced to the machine too late, after the damage was already done and the results were not ideal.  In this world of fast pace, instant meals and too many unhappy endings, we salute those who took a few minutes from their busy day to write us a letter and let us know how we are going.  Thank you all!  The letters here are only a very small sample of those received over the years, so if you have a story you think we should hear, good or bad, drop us a line and let us know about it.

New superslip makes Commodore fly!

To Tom

I just put some of your superslip into my commodore v6 ute which has 95,000 km on it, of which only 5,000 km has been on Bimrose Multigrade Super. This car has been on dual fuel up to this time but was so slow on gas I took it off and it went better so I put some fuel additive in the fuel and this improved it again but I still wasn't happy with its lack of get up and go. When I added the superslip I wedged the throttle open on 1600 rpm and added the oil and about 30 seconds later the engine increased to 2000 rpm. When I drove it home I found it now goes like it should. It actually flies!

Another typical result with Bimrose Lubricants

We found with the gearbox it was smoother in the gear shifts and the engine temperature was lower and used less in engine oil.

Mr. J. J. acheives excellent results with his Toyota Diesel

I thought that I would drop you a line to advise you how pleased I am with the overall performance of the range of Bimrose products that I have used and the technical advice that I have received from Head Office.

As an aircraft engineer I have a fine appreciation for machinery that operates smoothly and efficiently and the important part that a good lubricant contributes to the long term performance, reliability and efficiency of machinery.

After hearing and reading good reports about Bimrose Lubricants quite a few years ago, I decided to use these products in my private vehicles to see if they were what I had heard. I found out that they were very good.

Several years ago I purchased a 1994 Landcruiser trayback to use as a work truck and also to use for camping, hunting and fishing trips. This vehicle had 130,000 km on the speedo when I purchased it and one of the first things I did upon receiving it was to drain whatever brand name oil from all the running gear and engine and then refill with Bimrose products and to also begin to use Bimrose Upper Cylinder Lubricant in it. This I have never failed to do since.

I honestly believe that my vehicle runs more smoothly and less effortlessly as a result.

Although I took some convincing at first, I began to run the oil in my engine for longer than 5,000 km as the company had guaranteed that the oil was good for twice that of normal oil. I did notice however, that I began to use some oil once that oil had done around 7,500 km. The oil in my engine was Bimrose Multigrade Super.

After contacting Tom Bimrose on the internet and advising him of my usage rate, driving habits etc., he advised me to change over to turbo diesel new generation oil as he suspected that as my engine was not working hard enough, long enough, and was not getting hot enough each day with the result that the cylinder bores were glazing up.

I followed his advice and I am very happy to report that my engine continues to operate extremely well and I have not had to add a drop of oil between oil changes since.

I have sung the praises of Bimrose Lubricants to all my friends and acquaintances since I have been using these products and now after witnessing at first hand the results of sound advice, I am even further convinced that I am on a winner.

Yours faithfully
J. J.

Peugeot 604 V6 overheated but no obvious damage to motor.

I am the proud owner of a V/6 604 Peugeot, which has an all aluminium motor. While travelling from Maryborough to Coffs Harbour, I noticed the temperature gauge reading higher than normal as I passed the Caloundra turn off. As it was not in the red, I continued to Brisbane because the car was running beautifully.

On arrival in Brisbane I found the water level was below the water pump, the hose from the pump to the recovery tank had broken, the thermostat housing was dry, and the reason the gauge did not go higher. It can not work without water and all I had to do was replace the hose and fill the radiator, as there was no apparent damage to the motor.

Several months later I experienced similar trouble at Ballina on our way to Newcastle. The temp gauge rose into the red and we could not stop because there was sugar cane right up to the road on one side and a river on the other side, which meant we had to drive for miles and miles until I came to a farm house.
Upon stopping I found the radiator was boiling because the fan pulley had broken, this meant we had to drive 15 k's to Broadwater where I had the pulley repaired and the cylinder heads retensioned.
I am using BIMROSE DIESEL BLUE 15W40 which has saved my engine twice, without the usual signs of an overheated alloy motor which is still running better than ever.

1958 FE Holden badly overheated but still runs perfectly after 18 months.

Mr ELLIOT was driving his 1958 FE Holden fitted with an expensively worked 202 motor, home from HERVEY BAY to MARYBOROUGH, when a radiator hose broke allowing the water to boil. When he reached home 20 k's later and tried to switch off the motor it Pre-ignited and the motor ran backwards.
After the motor cooled he fitted a new radiator hose, filled the radiator and started the motor, which 18 months later still runs perfectly, uses no oil and he feels is running better than ever, by using
BIMROSE ALL SEASONS SUPER.

Oil consumption improved in Torana using All Seasons Super.

Mr WELLER OWNS A 1978 4 CYLINDER TORANA, which he uses around Maryborough with an occasional trip to Brisbane.
It used to use oil and ran between Normal and Hot with average fuel consumption, but since changing to BIMROSE All Seasons Super the car has not required any top up oil, the motor runs between Cold and Normal, it uses less fuel and now overtakes with ease.
The car now runs much smoother, rev's better, picks up better and is simply much easier to drive. Thank you BIMROSE LUBRICANTS and keep up the good work.

Skyline Soars after changing to Multigrade Super

The owner of a NISSAN SKYLINE GT reports that since changing to BIMROSE LUBRICANTS MULTI-GRADE SUPER 15W50, his trip computer tells him that his fuel consumption is improving with each oil change.
The car had covered 370,000 ks and the oil increased the pulling power especially when towing a caravan, The fuel consumption improved from 10.3 litres per 100 kilometres, to 9.3 litres per 100 kilometres according to his trip computer.

Old Corolla gives up smoking

A man in Maryborough had an old Toyota Corolla that he had parked because it was blowing too much smoke, using too much oil and boiling on a round trip of only 50 kilometres.
After hearing about and seeing the results of using Bimrose oils, he gave it an oil change using our Rejive 40w70. He now drives the car daily doing about 100ks/day without using oil, blowing smoke, or boiling. The previous tappet noise is barely audible.

Noisy Colt tamed with Rejive 40w70

A lady with a Mitsubishi Colt was told by her mechanic that if she continued driving from Caboolture to Brisbane for her work {nursing}, with the noises her car was making at 80ks, it would not last long because everything that moves was worn out. Aware of the cost of a new motor her father advised her to try our Rejive 40w70. She is now able to drive from Caboolture to Grafton and Maryborough at 100ks/hour.

Classic Benz was running out of puff.

A gentleman in Hervey Bay is the envious owner of a 1968 6.3 litre V/8 Mercedes Benz. It was experiencing the usual problems with older vehicles that do mostly short runs, with an occasional long run. It was blowing smoke and had low oil pressure.
After changing to BIMROSE ALL SEASONS SUPER 25W60 he now finds the cars performance is good at all times, his oil pressure is up by 15 lbs/sg/inch and does not drop when travelling distances, and the car is much better to drive both hot and cold.

Murgon sprint driver outclasses competition under adverse conditions.

A man from Murgon who owns a 2 Litre Ford Escort RS 2000 sprint car, putting out 135 HP and being driven between 4000 and 6000 revs per minute, has found since changing to Bimrose Rally 50 he can now drive his car much harder through comers, and at much higher revs{7000}. When the competition is slowing down due to heat and often overheating {as his used to}, his car is improving in performance.
This is what is helping him to win so many races, his camshaft is not showing the usual signs of wear, and to his amazement his oil does not get hot any more. He is now winning trophies in the open class as well as in his own class.

Oil guzzling Bedford given a fill of First Fill 30

A Maryborough cane farming family bought a 1970 6 Ton Bedford diesel tip truck, with the intention of moving many tons of dirt that had been dug up by their excavator.
When they started using the Bedford it used so much oil, (the smoke was terrible) they considered it was not economical, even though the motor sounded mechanically OK.
Having had the pleasure of using BIMROSE LUBRICANTS previously with excellent results, they decided to try our First Fill 30 which is designed to de-glaze, glazed cylinders, or to allow new rings and liners to wear themselves "in", without damaging any other engine components. The results speak for themselves.
Very little smoke and oil consumption doing light work and NO smoke or oil consumption doing heavy work.

Holden Torana drops pressure on brand name oil.

The same family have a son who owns a very fast high performance Holden Torana Hatchback. It is a 1975 400 cubic inch V/P with high volume fuel and oil pumps.
He was using a well known common oil and one day his oil pressure dropped suddenly, and the water temperature rose very quickly.
He immediately changed the oil thinking the oil had lost its viscosity.
After only a short period the Torana developed the same symptoms and they changed to BIMROSE ALL SEASONS SUPER 25W60. This caused the oil pressure to rise , but not quite as high as he required so he changed to BIMROSE RALLY 50 and the pressure rose even higher but still slightly below the desired level , and the temperature dropped significantly.
Still not satisfied that all was well the motor was dismantled and revealed a broken oil pick up pipe which was partially blocking the hole into the oil pump, and the oil pump gears were damaged but they were very impressed by the way the oil was clinging to the pistons and cylinders.
The car now has normal (high) oil pressure and as he is now using BIMROSE UPPER CYLINDER LUBRICANT , the performance has improved accordingly.

Resort owner saves hundreds of dollars per year by changing to Bimrose Lubricants

The management of the COW BAY RESORT in the DAINTREE rain forest has just changed to BIMROSE LUBRICANTS in their generators, and is very happy with the results.
They used to change the oil every 10 days and the oil would be black, had no viscosity or stickiness left, was very hot, and left large amounts of carbon [black sediment] on your hands.
After 10 days the Bimrose oil still felt sticky, was clear on the dipstick, was not hot if you let it drop off the dipstick onto your hand, so the filter was changed and the oil did another 10 days.
After 20 days the oil still felt good, you could still see the dipstick through the oil, the oil was still cool when dripped onto your hand off the dip stick and there was no oil consumption. This will probably mean that the remaining life of the gen sets will be trebled at least, the oil cost has been halved, the services have been halved, the pollution reduced significantly, and the owner knows that it will take a mechanical failure to stop this from continuing.

1987 Falcon swoops in for massive cost saving.

Morgans Refrigerator Door Seals own a 1987 XF Falcon wagon that they bought at 40,000 and used Valvoline till 80,000 when they were introduced to TOM BIMROSE and his large range of Specialised Lubricants.
The car used a little oil between changes so they changed to BIMROSE All Seasons Super 25w60. They changed the oil every 5,000 k's as previously, only this time the oil was still clear, still had a strong sticky oil film but was cool to touch, instead of being very hot, so they extended the changes to 10,000 and then to 20,000 k's. They now change the oil twice a year at approximately 25,000.  The Ford has now done 305,000,and the engine never needs oil between changes and sounds good and quiet.

Last chance trial becomes permanent solution.

A lawn-mowing contractor owns a 2-Ton Diahatsu truck, which works hard pulling a Kubota Tractor and mowing gear on a large trailer.
One day those boys in blue pulled him up and issued him with a defective vehicle notice, because of the excessive smoke, and the fact that the whole rear of the truck was covered with oil, The owner came to Morgans who had become distributors of BIMROSE LUBRICANTS, to see if this so called "good' 'oil would improve his truck enough to keep him working.
Morgans listened to his story and suggested he try Bimrose Multigrade Super 15w50 to help the oil consumption from the bottom, and Upper Cylinder Lubricant to tackle the problem from the top After only about 300k's the engine has a lot more power up a certain hill, on which he used to change down 2 gears, it does not blow smoke and the oil consumption is almost nil.
He is now a very happy Bimrose user having saved an engine overhaul and does not attract Police attention any more.

Oily Chev cleans up its act

Another customer has a C20 CHEV, which used 5 litres of oil every 5,000 k's, only 70,000k's after an overhaul, and as he going on a trip to Melbourne, was very concerned about the oil consumption and cost.
Morgans sold him 2x5litres of 40w70 Rejive, one for the oil change and one for top upon the trip. On his return he asked about oil for a VN Commodore, because the Chev had used less than one (1) litre of the Rejive on the whole trip to Melbourne and back, which meant that the second bottle was still sealed.

ATF oil comes out clean

Morgans own a school bus fitted with an Allison AT 540 4 speed automatic transmission, which does the run from Gin Gin to Bundaberg daily. In 1995 we changed the gear box oil and put in BIMROSE ATF DEXRON III. Two a half years later we sent it in for a service to be told that it was still as clean as new and did not require changing. So this year we sent it to the same workshop for a transmission service, This time they dropped the oil and the mechanic asked if it had just been overhauled, as it was so clean and in such good condition, it was hard to believe it had been doing a school bus run for five years, without even having an oil change. This proves that we are justified in recommending BIMROSE LUBRICANTS as the very best available. Because our customers are getting the same results we are, all the feed back is good feed back and justifies our pride in being a
DISTRIBUTOR of BIMROSE LUBRICANTS.

Lazy Laser comes back to life, and saves three ways!

I have a 1985 Laser that has a total of 410,000K on the clock.  The motor was overhauled in 1997 after a burst radiator hose.  From this time it had used around 1 litre of oil for every 2,000K and had not improved with over 130,000K of travel.  I then decided to try BIMROSE engine oil and BIMROSE upper cylinder lubricant.  I was initially hesitant because I felt that the Penrite oil I was using was one of the best money can buy. I am pleased to report that the oil usage has dropped to less than 0.5L per 5,000K.  The fuel consumption appears to have dropped by around 1 litre per 100K.  I say appears because I am not sure I believe this myself, but it seems to be the case every time I fill the tank.  Power also seems to be improved with better acceleration when overtaking, and a freer revving engine.  I would urge any person who is not currently using BIMROSE LUBRICANTS, to at least call and ask about changing over their machinery or cars.  Remember, the oil companies will not tell you about a product like this.  Their business is to sell you more oil!  BIMROSE oil save me three ways. Less oil consumption, longer oil change interval, and my car uses les fuel.

D9 Consumption Drops Dramatically

Regarding Caterpillar D9 using Bimrose Upper Cylinder Lubricant and T04/40 Transmission Oil.

We required an Upper Cylinder Lubricant that was not abrasive, that would not increase combustion temperature, that would lubricate the complete fuel system (lift & injectore pumps), while cleaning the system as it did its job of improving combustion efficiency and (hopefully) reducing fuel consumption.

Boy were we pleasantly surprised when the fuel consumption dropped from 61 litres per hour to only 42 litres per hour on the same day, with hte same driver, same paddock, same earthworks. The transmission had a slight whine in reverse without load and had done only 600 hours since being rebuilt. Because Bimrose Lubricants have such a high film strength we decided to try some T04/40. We drained the transmission in the middle of the day after working all morning, we then refilled the trans and after 1.5 hours work the noise had completely gone, the whole transmission was noticeably quieter, smoother & cooler doing exactly the same work. I was extremely impressed with hte result of using both thes Bimrose product.

Case 2870 4WD 300HP tractor with an 11 litre Scania motor.

Just by using the Upper Cylinder Lubricant alone, the pyrometer now runs at 700 where as it used to run at 900 a drop of 200 degrees, doing exactly the same work as with the D9.

Same 3 cylinder air cooled diesel on a 32 JVA gen set

Changed to 15W40 New Generation and the engine noise has reduced greatly, and now runs much smoother. It is hard to believe that changing the oil could make such a difference.
