J.T. Granatelli Lubricants, Inc. Releases Infomercial for Sale of Its Products in Russia    

    CAMARILLO, Calif., Dec. 2 -- J.T. Granatelli Lubricants, Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: LUBR) has announced today that Union Construction
Enterprises, the company that was instrumental in the acquisition of
government certification for sales of J.T. Granatelli Lubricants, Inc.
products through the Commonwealth of Independent States in Russia, has begun
airing a Infomercial for product sales into the region.
    The Infomercial, produced in a joint effort between J.T. Granatelli
Lubricants, Inc. and Union Construction Enterprises is aimed directly at the
Russian market.  According to George Fencl, secretary for J.T. Granatelli,
Union Construction is the perfect partner for such a undertaking aimed
directly at the Russian market.  With headquarters in Kaleningrad and Laguna
Niguel, California, Union Construction is very knowledgeable of the Russian
market and was in a position to guide the production of the Infomercial so it
speaks directly to the consumers in that market.
    The release of the Infomercial follows a recent order from Union
Construction for purchase of a large quantity of product.  Officials of Union
Construction stated that they waited until receipt of their order before
releasing the Infomercial to be sure they would have a adequate stock of
product on hand to fill the anticipated response to the Infomercial.
    In addition to the Infomercial, Union Construction is also embarking on a
series of print ads that also promote the products.
    J.T. Granatelli, Inc. manufactures, markets, sells and distributes its
proprietary line of motor oil, general household and motor vehicle lubricants
and contiguous products to the global marketplace.  J.T. Granatelli, Inc.
