Magna-Guard® Launches Separate Consumer and

Commercial Versions of Its Oil Polishing Magnets

San Diego (September 25, 2002) In recent years, the nation's growing concern for cleaner air and reduced dependence on foreign oil has placed Magna-Guard, one of the preeminent designers of products that enhance engine performance via improved preventative maintenance, further into the Aftermarket spotlight.

The company will launch its patented new Magna Guard Plus and Magna Guard Pro EPS (Engine Protection System) products at the AAPEX Trade Show, Sands Convention Center Booth 9916. Magna Guard Plus and Magna Guard Pro oil polishing magnets are specifically designed for consumer and commercial use respectively and both build on the success of the original product first launched in late 1999.

"We have learned that consumers need a package of smaller magnets that would fit any oil filter and commercial users wanted their product in bulk," says Ron McElroy, cofounder and president of Magna-Guard. "The resulting Magna Guard Plus and Pro products are an answer to those requests and will have us gain additional market share in both areas. So for the price of a cup of coffee (about $2.00 per oil change) people using our products are driving more reliable vehicles that pollute less, and get better fuel economy.""

According to McElroy, Magna-Guard's oil polishing magnets can be added to any spin-on filter and will virtually eliminate engine wear by controlling particle contamination in motor oil down to 0.5-microns. This increases engine life, reliability, and efficiency and reduces engine down time, wear, operating costs, and toxic tailpipe pollution. In fact, a recent study showed that Magna Guard Oil Filter Magnets provided an 18% reduction in toxic tailpipe emissions.

In the last year, both NASCAR and the NHRA have discovered the advantage of Magna-Guard (EPS) products. These racers demand high performance from their engines and the oil polishing magnets help them run at optimum levels during the extreme conditions of racing. In March at the Daytona Beach 500, "The Super Bowl of NASCAR", three out of the Top-10 racing teams used Magna-Guard products.

Today, the future is bright for San Diego based Magna-Guard, which has several high profile retailers and large fleet vehicle operators lining up to strategically partner with the company. A number of professionals have hailed Magna-Guard Oil Polishing Magnets as the most significant improvement in engine preventative maintenance since the invention of the oil filter.

Magna-Guard® EPS Saves Gas and Motor Oil, Lifts Driver Confidence

By Improving Preventative Maintenance

San Diego-- Magna-Guard, one of the nation's preeminent designers of products that enhance engine performance by improving preventative maintenance, celebrates its third year of enhancing vehicle service and engine life by transforming the way people change and rely on motor oil.

What began as a challenging and oftentimes uphill mission a few years ago is unfolding into the demand for innovation Magna-Guard founder Ron McElroy originally envisioned. Since the launch of his first patented product in 1999, Magna-Guard Oil Filter Magnets, he has worked tirelessly to gain both professional and consumer awareness and support for products that conserve natural resources as well as lower operating and maintenance costs.

"It's really exciting to see people take hold of this simple, but profoundly beneficial concept," says Ron McElroy, president of Magna-Guard. "The cleaner your motor oil is, the better your engine will run, and the longer it will last. Placing our oil filter magnets inside your oil filter polishes the oil. It's that easy, and nothing cleans motor oil as well or better. So for the price of a cup of coffee (about $2.00 per oil change) people using our products are driving more reliable vehicles that pollute less, and get better fuel economy."
