Take alook at this company:

Umm, how many more [removed remark] companies does this guy have?



That's for importing Russian electric cars. Don't think that's a fake.

Mod Edit: Removed same words as in original post. My intent is not to stop anyone's posting of information or to otherwise put a damper on digging up real dirt, but we need to keep things at a sub-libelous level. Thank you

Here's info on their "Hard Driver" oil filters. Nothing special there:

As you can see from Synlubes cut-away pic of their oil filter, it's just a copy of the Hard Driver filter box cover:

That is hilarious! That photo is of a well-known model and that is not even her name! They probably just pulled that off a website somewhere. Unbelievable.

Synlube is a total scam. Someone should turn them in to the state of Nevada for still doing business after their license was revoked.

Mod Edit:
Please choose your words a bit more carefully. I have no disagreement with you looking into the companies and posting what you find, but please try to get your point across with less derogatory names.

It looks like Miro Kefurt is the guy who imported YUGOs in the 1980's and used the same "marketing stories" as with synlube.

Looks like he sold yugos and fiat x19s which is why most of the cars on the synlube site are those

Mirox, apparently Miro"x" Kefurts company, appears to be the parent corporation for both synlube and the OKA Auto

from the synlube website:

Form the OKA autos website:

More info:

Synlube's web site is in Miro Kefurt's name.

Miro is the synlube spokesman on many sites:

Stefano and Linda are listed on the nevada license site as owners of synlube and here they are again in conjunction with Kefur:

So it looks to me like these are all the same bunch.

I wonder why no one turns then in to the state of Nevada for operating without a license?

Let's not dance around. That's Aria Giovanni, and she's an... adult model.

Hey, maybe Magda Harris is her real name.

The owner is listed as being from Green valley Arizona, that's a 55+ retirement community with an average age of at least 70, so I agree that's prolly not her in the picture,

I think the SynLube folks have accomplished what they wanted to. Heck, there are more SynLube threads than there was Ultra threads, and I did not think that was possible.

Keep feeding the fire boys.

Run some of the other names through google images.

The California car peddler and the auto industry wheeler-dealer hatched a plan: They'd meet in New York to discuss introducing a cheap Eastern European car into the American market.

But instead of getting on plane that day in 1984, Miroslav Kefurt decided he'd drive across the country, from West Coast to East. Might as well put his product, the Yugo 45, to the test. It was an eventful journey. "En route," Jason Vuic writes in "The Yugo: The Rise and Fall of the Worst Car in History," "Kefurt's blue Yugo broke down three times."

SynLube creator = Yugo creator

EDIT: Ok, ok , he didn't create it, but he brought it to America.

I like how it says you can contact the owner to talk to them about their experience if their is an email link and there never is one. I'd contact the woman who ran it in her car for seven years if it was only real. I also like how they post the cars after the owner got rid of it and who does a transmission flush in a parking lot?

Some guy came in to the walmart where I worked and asked if we did coolant flushes. No was the answer. What did he do? He flushed it, right there in the parking lot. Then left the used coolant in a 5 gallon water jug right where he had done it.
Not a transmission, but not that far off as far as complexity compared to a cooler line transmission flush..
