GREEN OIL

AMSOIL SYNTHETIC OIL and FILTRATION SYSTEMS provide present day GREEN solutions for lubricating products.

It’s possible, right now, to get this 25,000 mile extended oil drain capability while providing better protection for you engine plus an 8% increase in fuel economy. This feature also saves the equivalent of eight to ten 3,000 mile oil changes a year or about 50 quarts of oil per year per vehicle. Imagine what good this can do for our environment without having to dispose of 50 quarts of oil per vehicle per year.

Bob Holland points out that the environmental impact of reducing our country’s lubricating oil consumption by 2.315 billion gallons is beyond our imagination and this environmental abatement can begin today if every one becomes aware of their ability to contribute by using premium synthetic oil and filtration products. The EPA estimates that 200,000,000 gallons of used oil are not disposed of properly each year. The cost of reclaiming and processing used oil is significant and affects all of us by higher prices and increased taxes. One gallon of improperly disposed of oil can render one million gallons of fresh water undrinkable.

There is still another used and proven technology available to us today where we can eliminate oil changes altogether. This technology is the By-Pass Oil Filtration System that can be installed in all vehicles. This system uses two filters, a full flow filter and a by-pass filter. These are high quality nano-fiber filters that can eliminate particles below one micron in diameter and water from your engine’s oil. Standard filters only remove particles down to 25 microns in size, but studies have shown that over 60 percent of all engine wear is caused by particles in the 5 to 20 micron range. This system is set up so the full flow filter provides the unrestricted flow that the engine needs, while 10% of the flow goes through the by-pass filter that removes the fine particles down to the one micron range.

The oil capacity of the engine flows through the by-pass filter every five minutes while driving at approximately 45 miles per hour. Your engine oil is thoroughly and continuously cleaned every five minutes. A Mack truck with an E7-400 engine was driven over 400,000 miles without an oil change (only the oil filters were changed every 25,000 to 60,000 miles), the engine was torn down for inspection, and the engine wear was moderate and equivalent to the wear of an engine that had its oil changed every 15,000 miles with conventional oil. This is some testimony to the performance of premium synthetic oil.

The  United States accounts for 26% of the world’s consumption of lubricating oils. Economic growth in China and other parts of the world will spike the requirement for lubricating oils which will greatly contribute to the contamination of the earth’s environment unless we make strides in using the most effective and efficient ways to keep our wheels in motion. 

The  United States uses an average of 385,000,000 gallons of gasoline each day. This amounts to 140,525,000,000 gallons of gasoline per year. If we can increase our gas mileage 4% by using premium synthetic oils we can save 5,621,000,000 gallons of gasoline a year. These are steps we can take now before we need to take bigger steps, such as going to a hydrogen infrastructure. Even with hydrogen replacing the gasoline, we will still need the lubricating oils to keep all the parts of our cars, trucks and equipment in motion without abrasion. 

We can also do a better job of recycling our used oil. Do you know where our used oil goes now? Look at the following data.

1. 40% is dumped on the ground or poured down the sewer.

2. 21% is disposed of in our trash and goes to the landfills.

3. 19% is reused for other purposes.

4. 14% is recycled.

5. 6% is burned.

With only 14% of our waste oil being recycled there is a big opportunity to do more. It’s a total neglect to have 61% of our used and contaminated oil seeping back into our water ways and aquifers. You can help by using premium synthetic lubricating oils and having them properly disposed of when they are replenished. Reducing your oil consumption by a factor of 8x is a tremendous help to the environment, your vehicle, and your wallet. 25000milemotoroil.com and number1oil.com can help with any question you may have.
