Towpainter,

I was expecting a reply from you, and I'm glad you did. I realized that I might have come down a little hard, but sometimes that is necessary to get someone's attention. Also, realize that hundreds of people read these blogs and some things just need to be addressed head on.

Due to the difference in time, I won't be able to furnish the name of a rep close to you today, but will do so when I can get a reply from the office. I will send it as a personal message to you tho for privacy reasons.

Once again, Swepco does not advertise as a company, several of us reps do quite a bit of advertising within the areas that we service, but that is normally limited to the type of business they are trying to zero in on. Not all salesmen are prone to get into a lot of automotive, or high performance racing, and stick to commercial applications such as industrial plants, construction or trucking..... I try to balance a little bit of everything, but must confess that there is a favored place for high performance for me. That's the main reason why you have not heard of them. If you google search Swepco Lubricants, or just Swepco for that matter you will get pages upon pages of comments and testimonials, including a link to my website (I'll let you find that out for yourself!)

One of the friendliest customers I made early in my career with Swepco came from Tennessee, he owned and drove a "Late Model Sportsman" racecar on dirt tracks all over northern California - his experience with our products picked up an awful lot of other racing accounts for me. He would go on and on about after the first full season of running our 306 - 20W50 engine oil, the bearings looked brand new! The same oil in methanol powered sprint car (my favorite) engines does not turn milky from the fuel and my customers with those cars are changing their oil after 4 races, instead of the one or two when using other oils.....I've had customers in that category go as high as 40 races without being "refreshed" which is phenomenal. I usually recommend somewhere between 25 and 30 as a rule depending on the tracks and the driver.

Take care, and I'll get back to you soon.
