Advanced Lubrication Specialties Also
Announces an Increase
Due to an editing error, yesterday's edition
of Jobbers World misstated that Advanced
Lubrication Specialties announced it will
increase the price of its finished
lubricants $0.15 to $0.25 a gallon effective
April 24, 2010.
Whereas the increase and effective date
reported in yesterday's edition of
JobbersWorld are correct, the increase applies to
ALS's base oils, not its finished
lubricants.

| PQIA Offers to Test Brands on Request |
As a follow-up to the story in yesterday's
edition of JobbersWorld about the Petroleum
Quality Institute of America (PQIA) testing
of private label brands, it is important to
note that in addition to randomly selecting
brands for testing, PQIA also tests brands
by request.
According to PQIA, "Many oil
manufacturers are proud of the quality of
their products and are anxious to
have their oils sampled, tested, and data
published on PQIA's website without waiting
for their
oil to be randomly selected." To assure all
manufacturers have an opportunity to have
their brands tested and results posted on
the PQIA website, PQIA says "It will test any
specific oil
upon request by the oil's manufacturer
provided the manufacturer pays for the sample
collection, testing, and administrative costs."
PQIA adds that "All oils tested are collected
from
the field by PQIA, independently tested, and
all results are published without influence
from the manufacturer of the brand, PQIA
sponsors, or any other
industry party."
