ISO 9001:2000 is a quality management system that provides a number of requirements which an organization must fulfill in order to achieve customer satisfaction through consistent products and services.

Yes, Power Up warrants its products to be free of defective materials, design, and workmanship and offers a limited warranty on all of the products and equipment that those products are used in. Specific information can found in the Power Up Limited Warranty.

Power Up, Maryn and Kleenoil products will not void your warranty.  Please visit our manufacturer warranty section for further information.

NNL 690, originally recommended as a universal oil additive, was formulated for gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines.  It contains anti-wear and boundary lubricating additives, acid neutralizers, corrosion inhibitors, metal deactivators, detergents, dispersants and anti-oxidants to provide improved, complete and balanced protection to typical engine oils.

NNL 690G was developed to be compatible with the chemistry of extreme pressure gear lubricants.  As the use of NNL 690 became more prevalent in extreme pressure lubricants it became evident that some components in NNL 690 that are important in engines are not required in gearbox applications. NNL 690G was formulated to better suit the conditions within gearboxes.  The unique formulation of NNL 690G also makes it suitable for use in engines requiring low-ash or ashless oils.

Hydra Maxx is a hydraulic and compressor oil additive that has been formulated to provide the same lubricating and extreme pressure benefits as NNL 690 and NNL 690G with added water demulsifiers.  These demulsifiers accelerate the separation of water from hydraulic fluids.  Hydra Maxx also contains cold flow improvers that are beneficial when cold temperature start up conditions exist.  Hydra Maxx is designed specifically as a hydraulic and circulating system treatment and can be used in both mobile and stationary systems.

The recommended addition rate for Gen 49D is 0.08%. This works out to the following approximations listed below:

Metric	Imperial
8 mL / 10 Liters	1 oz / 10 gallons
1 teaspoon (5 mL) / 5 Liters	1 teaspoon (1/6th oz) / 1.5 gallons
1 tablespoon (15 mL) / 15 Liters	1 tablespoon (0.5 oz) / 5 gallons

The chart below summarizes the proper applications for the different Power Up lubricants.

Using Power Up products will not void your warranty. In 1975 Congress adopted a piece of landmark legislation, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. The Act was designed to prevent manufacturers from drafting grossly unfair consumer warranties.

Although the Magnuson-Moss Act covers consumer products broadly, Congress was particularly concerned with unfair and inequitable automobile warranties. If you are interested in using Power Up, but are concerned that using an additive or extending your oil drain interval will void the warranty, you have no need for concern. An examination of the law reveals warranties remain intact when Power Up Lubricants are used.

The FTC set down three rules under the Act: the Disclosure Rule, the Pre-Sale Availability Rule and the Dispute Resolution Rule. These rules require warrantors to title their written warranty as either full or limited, provide a single, clear and easy-to-read document that spells out certain information about coverage and ensure that warranties are available where the products are sold so that consumers can read them before buying.

In passing the Act, Congress meant to give consumers access to warranty information, lets consumers comparison shop for warranties, encourage warranty competition and promote timely and complete performance of warranty obligations.

Vehicle manufacturers recommend lubricants according to their viscosity grade and service classification. Any oil, whether its conventional petroleum motor oil or synthetic, meeting the correct viscosity grade, 10W-30 for example, and the current API and ILSAC North American service classifications may be used without affecting warranty coverage. Power Up products have been designed to not only perform within oil’s designed specifications but are optimized to maintain the oil specifications under strenuous and harsh conditions. Simply put, your warranty stands when you use Power Up Lubricants.

Additives are chemicals used to improve performance characteristics of base oils. There are many types of additives depending on the oil application. In industrial oils, additives are typically less than 1% of the blend whereas engine oils typically contain around 10% to 20% of the blend as additives.

Below are examples of common additives:

• Anti-oxidant – Prolongs the lubricant life by preventing rapid breakdown due to extreme variations in temperatures, over usage, water contamination, and dirt contamination and oxidization. Oxidization can cause various problems such as varnish and sludge buildup, leading to scarring of internal equipment components.
• Anti-wear – Chemicals attach to the metal creating a slippery surface that help in preventing wear. This is especially important during engine start up.
• VI improver – These are polymers that help increase the protection by allowing the oil to flow easier in cold temperatures and protect from excessive thinning during temperature high operation. VI -improvers allow for a wider operating temperature range.
• Dispersants – This additive helps suspend small contaminant particles and prevents them from forming into larger particles. Larger particles could lead to sludge, varnish and wear.

The best and easiest way to determine if your Power Up additives are doing their job is to monitor your equipment before and after applying Power Up. Use your 5 senses to observe your equipment.

• Touch: Check for temperature differences. A lower temperature means less friction which leads to less component wear. Proper lubrication reduces abrasive metal to metal contact and leaves metal surfaces smoother and free of markings.
• Sight: Inspect your oil during every oil change. Additives like NNL 690 clean up your oil such that there is a noticeable reduction in the amount of particles suspended in your used oil. Gen49D improves fuel economy and reduces emissions. Less black exhaust may be visible and greater fuel efficiency can be monitored with the help of your odometer.
• Sound: Noise is a direct result of friction and an indicator of wearing components. Quiet machinery is a good indication of effective lubrication.
• Smell: High temperatures can cause increased oil degradation and produce acrid odors.
• Pocketbook: Power Up products are designed to save you money by protecting your equipment from severe working conditions. Proper lubrication of your equipment will provide you with cost savings in the form of reduced downtime, fuel consumption, equipment repairs and replacements incurred from poor lubrication. We strive to provide you with quality products that save you money and this is how we intend to earn and keep your business.
