Re:      Registration Statement on Form S-8

Dear Board Members:

         We have acted as special counsel to Worldwide Petromoly, Inc. (the
"Company") in connection with the proposed issuance by the Company of up to
20,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common
Stock") of the Company, which may be issued pursuant to the Company's Stock
Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), as such number of shares may be increased in
accordance with Plan in the event of a merger, consolidation, reorganization,
liquidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, or similar event
involving the Company.

         We have examined such documents, records and matters of law as we have
deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion and based thereon, we are of the
opinion that the Common Stock when issued pursuant to and in accordance with the
terms of the Plan will be legally issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

         We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement on Form S-8.

                                            Very truly yours,

                                            KRYS BOYLE FREEDMAN & SAWYER, P.C.
