I've won a lot of races using the Micro-Armor Technology, said Langestein. In my position I have the ability to test and evaluate just about every grease and oil product out there. I have turned down many opportunities to consult and endorse a variety of products. Micro-Armor is a great fit because it not only gives me an edge in my race cars, but I also use it in my personal vehicles and equipment. Micro-Armor's ability to reduce friction, reduce temperatures and add horsepower, may be the advantage you need to win the race, but it also reduces stress on metal parts making your car's engine, your tractor, your lawn mower, or whatever else last longer.

“In our business good lubrication can be the difference between getting to the winner’s circle or going home with a broke car. I wouldn’t think of running without Micro-Armor anymore. Someone I trusted in the industry, gave me a bottle of Micro-Armor 1000 Engine and Oil Treatment. Immediately our engine temperature dropped from 220F to 180F. The car even seemed to be more responsive on the throttle. We were so impressed we went back to the store and bought the Micro-Armor 4000 Spray Lube and Micro-Armor 6000 Grease. Since we started spraying the heim joints and suspension with Micro-Armor, we haven’t even heard a squeak. And try jacking your car up and spinning the tire with your current grease. Then pack the wheel bearings with Micro-Armor grease and watch it spin. Spin it after you’ve run it in a race and you’ll be even more amazed.
UPDATE
Now that we've been running the Micro-Armor products for well over a year now we're able to make good year over year comparisons from the wear on our parts. After a full season of over 80 races in the dirt, our wheel bearings, heims, rear end gears, and key engine and transmission parts are showing hardly any wear. looking at the Micro-Armor lubed parts sitting next to parts from before we used Micro-Armor is night and day. Things That used to break or get replaced at the end of the season are now staying in the car for next season without any loss in performance.
With Micro-Armor, we also increased our fuel economy over 15% in two different diesel car haulers. Micro-Armor makes our car faster while saving us a ton of money!

"I just wanted to take a few minutes and thank you for introducing me to your great product! I have tried it and have had good results in several vehicles. When I used it in my diesel suburban, I immediately noticed less smoke on cold start, lower temperature when warm, and easier acceleration under load. While I did not measure fuel efficiency, the impression was that I got further on a tank! I had an old smoky riding lawn mower that was clearly on its last legs. Your product caused the smoke to disappear and the motor got its old power back. I sold it and made $500. My Toyota 4-Runner was next, with similar results. The 4 cylinder motor acted more like a spring chicken than an old ride! So in conclusion, I would recommend your product to anyone, and would feel like I did them a favor by doing so!"
- C.H., Fort Gratiot, MI
"I drive a 1997 Freightliner FLD 120 with a Detroit 120 Series engine that has 935,000 miles. Within one day of adding the Micro-Armor 1000 to my engine, the heavy black smoke that used to pour out of my stack was gone. On my next 10,000 mile change I saw that I burned 2 gallons of oil less than I normally do. The engine even starts much easier. I'm impressed!"
- E.W., Marysville, MI
"This letter is to inform you of the results we've had using Micro-Armor products. We run 12 mixer trucks:
3 International 9.0 liter dt/dti-466c turbocharged engines
9 Mack 6 cylinder dm600s, 11.0 liter engines
We also have 1 Cat 966D loader, and 1 Komatsu W120.
As you know, our mixer trucks operate in an environment filled with very fine, abrasive dust particles. At the end of May we began introducing Micro-Armor 1000 Oil Treatment into the engine oil. Later on in the summer we began putting it into the rear ends, transmission, power steering, axle bearings, and into the hydraulic systems. The results varied truck by truck, but we experience more power, increased RPMs, , apparent increase in fuel economy, lower operating temperatures and the engine oil staying tremendously cleaner between changes.
Oil consumption was substantially reduced in those units which burned oil - so much so that the savings in oil is greater than the cost of the Micro-Armor used in those units.
Finally, we have started using the Micro-Armor 4000 penetrating spray on door hinges and locks and other areas, and have found that the lubricating effect lasts from 3 to 4 months in this dusty environment.
We are firmly convinced of the many ongoing benefits of the Micro-Armor Technology and Products."

"It works! It really works!"
- Tony Mancini-Owner, Portland Sand & Gravel
Dear Micro-Armor,
For nearly 10 Years, we have been purchasing your Micro-Armor 6000 Grease, here in Maine. You can't find a better lubrication test than at a stone crushing gravel pit. The dirt, heat, and enormous weight of our equipment is brutal to say the least. We use Micro-Armor grease in our toughest applications, including all of our crushers and conveyers. We've never found another product that worked as well as Micro-Armor for protecting our equipment and reducing breakage and equipment downtime. Thank you and keep up the good work!
- Dave McMillan, Indy Car Crew Chief, 02 Racing Technology
I've personally tested Micro-Armor's solid-film lubrication technology in both my race cars and my own vehicles. By reducing friction, I've seen Micro-Armor drop temperatures and increase performance and fuel economy. It REALLY does work
-Don Lickwala, BWP Transport, President
Micro-Armor is saving us over $8,000 a month from increased fuel economy and thousands more from reduced parts replacement. Micro-Armor is providing the best return on investment I’ve ever had".
- Jeff Griggs, Florida Drawbridge Service Company
Over the years, we’ve always tried to use quality lubricating products on our bridges, but we’ve never found one that could truly handle the combination of stresses that we have here. Greases that seemed to handle the force couldn’t stand up to the heat and would run off the metal gears. Grease that could handle the heat would get washed off in the hard Florida rains. No grease could handle it all.
The Micro-Armor representative explained that Micro-Armor lubricants were designed for the toughest, most extreme conditions.He described how the patented Micro-Armor technology not only provided better lubrication but also filled in the scratches of damaged metal surfaces allowing gears, bearings, and other metal surfaces to last longer and perform better.
I’m a skeptic by nature and seeing it work myself is believing. The morning I got the sample tube we went right to work testing it on a bridge. We knew right away that the Micro-Armor grease was something different. We put some heat to it and then tried to spray it off with a power washer and it didn’t move. It worked like nothing else we had seen. That was in August of 2009.
Since then Florida Drawbridge Service only uses Micro-Armor 5000 Water-proof and Tacky Open-Gear Grease on their moveable bridge gears. the Micro-Armor grease stays in place so much better that we only use half the grease we used to, and the number of times we grease the gears is much less than before. That’s a huge savings in time and money. We’re also seeing gears that should be wearing out by now that are showing no signs of wear.I would highly recommend Micro-Armor to anyone.
-Gary Knipe
I am very impressed with the Micro-Armor product that I just used on my 1950 Plymouth Deluxe Coupe. I installed the Micro-Armor 1000 Oil Treatment in my car and couldn't believe the difference it made in my car and how it runs. The engine runs much smoother and it has quicker acceleration. I have noticed that my gas mileage is even better then before. It feels like a new car. I also used the Oil Treatment in my 2007 Mercury Milan and noticed that when I lift off the gas, the car coasts longer. It is definitely worth what I paid and it saves me money on fuel. I can't wait to try the other products on my car. It is a product that I have recommended to my children and friends and would highly recommend this product to anyone who appreciates performance.
-Donald E. Basnaw, Mueller Brass Company
The Micro Armor oil additive was first used here at Mueller Brass Company in a Worthington vertical septuplex plunger pump driven by 1000 h.p. electric motor. Lubricating oil for this pump is cooled with a water cooling heat exchanger. Oil temperature is monitored at both sides of the heat exchanger to insure it is operating properly. The amperage on all three legs of the electric motor are also monitored, but only under load.. Before adding your oil additive, temperature and amperage readings were taken and recorded several times over a 3 day period.
One hour after adding Micro Armor the oil temperature had dropped 10 degrees. The reduction of friction had to be almost instantaneous. We did not get a change in our amperage reading, but again, we were recording only under full load of 320 G.P.M. with a discharge pressure of 4500 P.S.I. With a price tag of $70, 000 to rebuild one of these pumps, the drop in temperature was Build one of these pumps, the drop in temperature was convincing enough to put Micro Armor in all five pumps.
-Vincent Weatherspoon, Plant Operations Manager, Michigan Paving & Materials
I’m a hands on type of guy. Seeing it work myself is believing. Seeing bearings that aren’t wearing out and grease that stays on hot gears now that’s believing. Hearing drive chains that run quieter longer and touching gear boxes that feel cooler that’s believing.
Michigan Paving & Materials now uses Micro-Armor 5000 and 6000 Grease in all of their greasing applications, including their Seceo double-decker screener, trunnion bearings, feeder bearings, bag house bearings, cold and hot drums, and flop gates. Micro-Armor 1000 Oil Treatment is used to reduce friction and heat in all gear boxes and Micro-Armor 4000 Spray Lubricant is used on all of the drive chains.
We thought we were using the best lubricants out there, but now we know we are. Micro-Armor just works!
-Rick Ertle, Operations Manager, Performance Paving
It is a very tough environment. Lubrication is critical because during maintenance and repair down time we don’t make money. One of our most demanding applications involves our Blaw Knox pavers.
In this machine there is an auger bar that runs all day distributing a heavy mix of tar, sand, and rock at temperatures that can reach 350 degrees F. In the past we had to replace the 4 bearings on this auger, and the bearings on other machines, every year and sometimes more often. When a bearing replacement was needed during the paving season it was two full days without that machine on the job site. That was very costly.
When introduced to the Micro-Armor greases we were very skeptical, but we trusted the person that recommended it so we gave it a try. When it worked on the augers we knew that this grease was something different.
The difference has been remarkable. Since switching to Micro-Armor greases on our pavers, trucks, and other equipment, we have just finished our 5th season without a bearing failure. The augers in our pavers run continuously without a problem.
We are amazed that there can be so much difference between greases. We thought we were using a high performance, heavy-duty grease, but by switching to Micro-Armor we have been able to reduce downtime and make our equipment last longer. That savings go right to the bottom line.
- J.J., Owings Mills, MD
I told you when I purchased the Micro-Armor products that when I got results, I would put those results in writing. I am pleased to recommend Micro-Armor highly. We have lubricated all of our supply and return-air fans with Micro-Armor grease even the high velocity fans where we used to have lubrication problems.
Our studies show that we have been able to triple the time between greasing. With Micro-Armor we are able to cut P.M. time and labor, and downtime. When you add up the numbers, we cut expenses by 2/3.
- G.B., Boise, ID
“We have just completed our crusher tests using the Micro-Armor 6000 grease on the two bearings holding the rotor shaft. Prior to using the Micro-Armor grease we were using a type 2 lithium grease.
Temperatures on the bearings would run from 175° to in excess of 200°. With Micro-Armor 6000 grease the temperature has dropped dramatically and has been running from 100° to 150°. Needless to say, I am extremely pleased with your product.”
-W.M., Honolulu, HI
As a professional Nuclear Engineer with 22 years experience in operations and management of facilities as diverse as Nuclear Submarines, Oil and Gas Pipelines, and Astronomical Observatories, I have become very skeptical of claims made by lubrication products. Most have proved worthless under other than laboratory conditions.
Personally I witnessed torque tests involving Timken Bearings where the Micro-Armor greases outperformed what we thought were high quality grease by over 400%. Since then I’ve started using Micro-Armor 1000 in my car’s engine. Shortly after adding it I saw a 20% drop in the operating temperature, showing a distinct decrease in engine friction. It is my professional opinion, and that of my mechanic, the Micro-Armor oil additive worked as claimed.
- D.P., Newport, DE
As an Automotive Repair Shop owner, I was asked to evaluate a product called Micro-Armor 1000. For this customer we maintain a fleet of GMC trucks, 2 mini buses, and a number of vans. There are 41 vehicles in all. Compression tests were taken on 4 of the vehicles and the Micro-Armor products was added to the existing oil.
After driving 1000 miles of each, the compression was taken again. Every vehicle showed an increase in compression by approximately 5% to 7% per cylinder. Oil consumption had decreased and several of the drivers indicated an increase in power. None of the drivers had any knowledge of an additive being used.
At this point the entire fleet is being treated with Micro-Armor, and all vehicles are showing an improvement in compression, oil consumption, and performance. This has certainly convinced me.
-J.M., Baton Rouge, LA
Before we tried your product our compressor would run from 7AM to 5PM with no shut off periods. The PSI was90, the oil temperature was 170 degrees F, and the air temperature was 190 F. Then we tried your product. The results were pretty conclusive.
Before Micro-Armor
90 PSI
170° F oil
190° F - air
7 Minutes After Micro-Armor Added
115 PSI
150° F - oil
178° F - air
10 Minutes After Micro-Armor Added
115 PSI
140° F - oil
165° F - air
Two months later, with no repairs, the PSI is holding at 115, the oil temp is 140°-142°, the air temp is 158°-164°, and it doesn’t have to run constantly anymore. This is proving to be a great savings to our company.
- B.M., Port Huron, MI
As a large, brass extrusion plant we have lots of heavy machinery in a hot and tough environment. Good lubrication is critical. We treated a Schumuch 200 gallon gear box with your Micro-Armor gear additive. The gear box temperature went from 147° F down to 98° F and has been operating like that for over one year. We are able to go longer in between oil changes and our parts are showing less wear. The Schumuch equipment uses wet clutches and the noise level and chatter was decreased significantly. Now we use the grease on our heavy cooling fans and all over the plant.
-Steve Williams, Father Of Motocross Racer Jarred Williams
Dear Micro-Armor,
Your Micro-Armor lubricants are even better than you say they are!
My son, Jarred Williams, competes throughout the U.S. in over 100 motocross races each year. He races both a Yamaha YZ 125 and Suzuki RMZ 250 and is quite competitive, having won numerous track and series championships. Jarred ended the 2010 season ranked 22nd in the U.S. A. Also, I’ve been working on bikes and cars for many years. I’m the chief mechanic for my son and I work in a Chrysler automotive repair center.
Last year, a family friend introduced me to Micro-Armor. Dusty is the crew chief for Rusty Schlenk, the 2010 UMP Dirt Late Model National Champion. He told me how well the Micro-Armor products work for them and a lot of other teams too, so last spring we decided to give them a try.
I just wanted to tell you that we’re glad we listened because the Micro-Armor products are amazing. We always used high end Belray waterproof grease that many consider the best. The Micro-Armor 6000 dropped the temperature on our wheel bearings and really worked well on the shock linkages that are normally wearing out due to all the grit and mud. Also, the Micro-Armor 4000 Spray Lube was amazing on our chains and sprockets. They also ran cooler and cut our chain and sprocket replacements in half. Jarrod ran faster and Micro-Armor easily saved us over $500 in replacement parts for the year, by using just over $30 worth of Micro-Armor 4000 Spray Lube and Micro-Armor 6000 Grease.
Dusty also explained the huge savings they got when they put Micro-Armor in their race car hauler and trailer. He said that Micro-Armor 1000 in the diesel engine increased their fuel economy over 15% in two different diesel haulers. Also, with Micro-Armor 6000, it was the first season they didn’t burn out one of the triple axle trailer wheel bearings. Savings like that are important for any race team operating on a tight budget.
So, we took Dusty’s advice and put the Micro-Armor 1000 Engine Treatment in our Ford 460 RV engine. We saw a huge difference immediately. Our engine ran smoother and the fuel economy increased from 8.9mpg to 11.1 mpg. That’s up 24.73%! I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t calculate the numbers myself. For the season we drove 18,000. That means we saved 401 gallons of fuel.
By my math, for the season we saved at least $500 in parts and $1,203 in fuel, by purchasing $70 in Micro-Armor products. That works out to $24.33 savings for every $1 spent. That’s the best return on investment I’ve ever had. And I know Jarred won more prize money by running faster. Thank you for these products. Let us know what we can do to spread the word.
Sincerely,
Steve Williams

Dear Micro-Armor,
A couple of years ago my 1990 Mazda Miata (165,000 miles) had an annoying lifter noise that I couldn’t get rid of. I tried a few other additive type products but nothing worked. Then the guy at the counter told me about Micro-Armor 1000 for engines and all the success he had with it, so I decided to give it a try. Within 4 hours of adding the Micro-Armor to my engine oil, the noise was gone. I now use Micro-Armor in all my vehicles.
Thanks,
Jim Scott

I operate several large farms in Michigan. I’ve used Micro-Armor grease for nearly 20 years, but my first encounter with the product was on the wobble bar of a new and very expensive combine.
This is a very dirty, and often wet, application. Since using this amazing product the bearings have never been replaced. They just don’t wear out!
All of my other pieces of my farm equipment, including trucks, tractors, bailers, and many other types of machinery have benefited from using Micro-Armor grease.
Micro-Armor saves me money by reducing parts failure and helping me keep my equipment longer. I could not, nor would I think of, operating any of my farming machinery without having this miracle product in it.
-Chuck McGilvra
Driving a classic 1995 Chevy pickup with a 350 engine, I started using the Micro-Armor 1000 a few years ago at about 180 thousand miles. Traveling around the US several months of the year, I wanted to improve engine performance & extend its life. I now have 240 thousand plus miles and still going strong. Knowing how engines will start loosing oil pressure with age and wear; have been impressed by the fact that there has been no decrease in oil pressure or engine performance.
Ronald J. Steward, Shop Foreman, St.Clair County Road Commission
Thought I would take a few moments and tell you how much we like your products. We have been using Micro-Armor products for only a short time now but we are already seeing improvements. We have been using both the 5000 and 6000 greases. Prior to them, the grease we were using would not last and blow out. Since we have been using your grease we find that it stays put and does not wash out of the bushings and bearings.
We have just started using the 1000 product and do not have much information at this time, but if is anything like the grease, I know that it will show improvements! We plan on putting it into both our engines and the mower gearboxes this summer.
We have also found that using the 4000 spray lubricant is saving us long term problems because it will not evaporate or wash out like other products. We will continue introducing your products into our both our fleet and facilities as we are confident that they are a value-added resource.
-Kenny Hejna, Buffalo, NY
I bought a bottle of the oil treatment at the Detroit Autorama..I run a 93 Honda Prelude 2.2 SOHC, just from the micro armor, temp went from 230 degrees down to just under 200 degrees! I couldn’t believe it.
The motor ran much better, and seemed to have better pull.
I didn’t even need to add the water wetter. This stuff works amazing. Great product I will be ordering more.
-Jason Crump, Crump Racing, St. Louis, MO
We call it "Magic Juice" around the shop. It is by far the best lubricant we have ever used. After we packed all the wheel bearings with the bearing grease the Late Model will literally roll out of the shop if we don't have the wheel chalk in place. The more we run the car the easier everything moves. It is by far superior to any other lube that we have ever used.
If you want a superior advantage over your competition you will need to use Micro Armor Lubricants.
Great product!!!!
Thank you
