The Founding of Prolube

After Riverside Dragstrip closed, he moved on to opening Prolube Auto Clinic, offering full-service auto repair and car washes.

During the late 80s, Paul partnered with experts to engineer an oil additive that would significantly reduce the friction in motors and so, he began experimenting with different variations until the perfect formula was created.

He found that his discovery increased engine life, lengthened time between oil changes, and not to mention, gave his cars that edge to outperform the competition. What was once an idea to fulfill his own need as a driver transpired into what is now known as Prolube Oil Treatment. Since then, Prolube has been used in 5 winning National Championships in NASCAR, NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle and JEGGS Pro Stock Truck.
