key takeaways
Challenge
Chris Sewell, a certified energy manager at CMW, decided to use LE’s Monolec® engine oil in his 2014 Jeep Wrangler Sport after witnessing the company’s success with these oils in their fleet since 2009.
LE solution
Mike Hall recommends Monolec® Tetra-Syn™ Engine Oil for its superior performance, protection, and efficiency, which extends engine life and oil change intervals while conserving fuel and minimizing deposits.
Results
Chris experienced a 5% increase in fuel efficiency, resulting in a 17% return on investment at $2.80 per gallon, after switching to Monolec Tetra-Syn oil, which also provides long-term engine protection.
On just the 5 percent in MPG alone at $2.80 per gallon, there is a 17 percent return on investment, Sewell said. Protecting your asset is cheaper in the long run, so from both an operational and financial view, it’s a no-brainer.

Challenge
Chris Sewell, CEM, a certified energy manager at CMW, performs energy assessments and financial analysis for commercial businesses to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Chris wanted to provide the best protection possible for his vehicle – a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Sport. He estimates that 80 percent of his 10,000 annual miles is in city driving conditions.
CMW has been using LE’s Monolec® engine oils in its fleet of trucks and vans since 2009, and the company’s success with these products convinced Chris to give LE oil a try in his personal vehicle.
LE Solution
Mike Hall, LE lubrication consultant, recommended Monolec® Tetra-Syn™ Engine Oil (8521), full synthetic SAE 5W-20 engine oil with premium additive package for gasoline engines in passenger cars and light duty trucks.
Monolec Tetra-Syn exceeds the minimum standards set by American Petroleum Institute (API), providing the ultimate combination of performance, protection, endurance and efficiency. Its proprietary additive package is designed to deliver resource-conserving fuel economy, protect emissions systems, keep engines clean, and keep deposits to a minimum. It keeps engines running for longer periods while safely extending the time between oil changes.
Results
Chris uses an app on his smart phone to track mileage, fuel usage, and oil changes. He documented an immediate fuel savings of 1 mpg after switching to Monolec Tetra-Syn. He was looking to protect his engine, but the better fuel economy was a welcome bonus that he directly attributes to using the LE oil.
