National Chain - PEP BOYS - To Carry PetroMoly Products

    HOUSTON--Oct. 19, 1999--Today, the national automotive retail chain PEP BOYS placed a national stocking order for PetroMoly Oil Treatment, a product of Worldwide PetroMoly, Inc. (OTC BB:MOLY). PEP BOYS , based in Philadelphia, PA, is the nation's third largest automotive retailer in dollars and has 680 stores in 37 states.
    Lance J. Rosmarin, President of Worldwide PetroMoly said, "This is a real exciting time for our company. We are very pleased to be associated with a top automotive retailer, which has the caliber of name and distribution that PEP BOYS provides its product customers. PetroMoly Oil Treatment is a revolutionary product--studies by the EPA have shown our PetroMoly products can enhance vehicle performance while reducing emissions, fuel consumption, and overall wear on car and truck engines. This is the type of national distribution that our product deserves, and will help make this an excellent sales year. We have plans to launch a very creative and strategic advertising campaign to aid in brand awareness and product demand."
    PEP BOYS' automotive buyer requested that the PetroMoly order arrive at PEP's warehouses the last week in October for the purpose of placing PetroMoly Oil Treatment in their national "plan-a-gram." The timing is also prior to the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week show in Las Vegas, November 2-5, 1999. Consumers will now be able to buy PetroMoly Oil Treatment nationally from the PEP BOYS' chain sometime during early November.
    Robby Unser, the veteran Indy racecar driver and PetroMoly spokesman, said, "With this PEP BOYS national exposure PetroMoly is truly on its way to become the premier lubricant of choice for both everyday consumers and racing professionals. I feel that PetroMoly has definitely given me an extra edge during the racing season; it really is the best on the market, and now everyone can get it."
    Robby Unser, along with his PetroMoly racecar, is planning to be at the PetroMoly exhibit space at the Sands Convention Center November 3 and 4 during the AAIW Show in Las Vegas. Robby will be available to talk about PetroMoly with industry executives.
    Worldwide PetroMoly, Inc. manufactures, markets and distributes high-performance lubricants for use in all types of motor vehicles, compressor engines and railroad locomotives. PetroMoly products incorporate a new proprietary process technology called molytech(TM). These products contain stable and suspended molybdenum disulfide (moly), a hard and extremely low-friction metal, which fills in the micro-porous, crater-like surfaces of pistons, rings and cylinder walls. This creates a more efficient engine environment and prevents metal-to-metal contact, thereby reducing friction, heat and wear. Moly is a slick and powerful antioxidant, known to have the world's lowest coefficient for friction. Worldwide PetroMoly is a sponsor in the Pep Boys Indy Racing League.
