We hear it all the time, "Time is money they say". So, in essence, when people say, "Stop wasting my time!", what they in fact mean is... "Stop wasting my money!"

Let me explain the correlation differently. I want to travel from Johannesburg to Dubai. I can either go by ship or by plane. The cost by ship is $ 1'000 and the cost by plane is $ 2'000. Therefore, for an extra $ 1'000.00, I can buy roughly 1 Month of time. I can personally tell you that 1 Month of time to me is worth a lot more than $ 1'000.

What on earth has this got to do with lubrication you may ask?

The answer to that is simple to explain, substitute the word "Johannesburg" with "Current Bearing Life (1 Month)" and "Dubai" with "Current Bearing Life X 2 (2 Months)". Then substitute the word "Ship" with "Low-Cost Oil" and the word "Plane" with "Premium Oil" and you will have your answer.

From the above you will arrive to two conclusions, one being that the cost per bearing life cycle is the same whether I use "Low-Cost Oil" or "Premium Oil", so why bother? However, if you look at it from the concept of time. For instance... time saved changing bearings? downtime? time saved due to safety incidents? time saved in labour? production time? even the time you have saved yourself? A different picture emerges.

Strangely, people in their professional lives as well as in their personal lives struggle to make the connection between time and money. As a result of this I have a challenge for you. From now until the end of the week, try to think of situations in the concept of time. You'll be surprised at the difference in perspective.

Revolution Synthetic Oil produces Ultra-Performance Synthetic Lubricants designed to save you as much time as possible in order for you to focus on the things that really matter, and because it saves you time, it saves you money as well.

How much time did you save today?
