Going Green, Saving Gas and the Environment is the Way of today’s Market

Have you been thinking lately about the ENVIRONMENT????

It is hard not to. From everything to the plastics we use to the oil we put in our cars. Many Americans are still not doing their part to help the environment. But we can make a difference in one way by using less oil and a way to do that is to buy AMSOIL the best Synthetic on the Market . It has been around for over 35 years and many people are still unaware of the benefits to their vehicles and now you can help the enviroment too. Ask yourself this. If I could be putting the best product in my vehicles and saving the environment then how do I do that? Start by putting better products in you vehicle and making it run cleaner which gives off less to in enviroment.

Environmental issues are far more complex than any brief overview can present. We can begin, however, by recognizing that the Green Movement is not a fad. Environment has grown in importance as a contemporary business issue and will continue growing for a long time.

Jacquelyn Ottman, in her book Green Marketing, states that used motor oil is the largest single source of pollution in our nation’s waterways.

A website for the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection notes that Pennsylvania Do-It-Yourselfers dispose of 11 million gallons of used oil a year. The authors of this website state that only 14 percent is re-cycled and the rest, 9.5 million gallons, is dumped, either into sewers, on the ground or into the trash. Extrapolate this out and you are looking at some awesomely large numbers nationally.

This is all the more startling when you consider that one quart of oil can create a two-acre sized oil slick, and a gallon of oil can foul a million gallons of freshwater, a year’s supply for fifty people.

PREVENT BILLIONS OF QUARTS FROM BEING DUMPED

Most automobile manufacturers recommend oil drain intervals of 3,000 to 6,000 miles for petroleum motor oils. AMSOIL recommends up to a 35,000-mile oil change which is 5 to 11 times fewer oil changes.

Just think about the savings on the environment if, for example, the 135 million cars (excluding trucks, buses and taxis) in the United States were equipped with AMSOIL motor oil.

Assuming an average service-life of 100,000 miles and an oil capacity of 5 quarts each, 11.4 billion to 22.3 billion quarts of used oil will be generated during a regular service lifetime (with regular oil changes every 3,000 to 6,000 miles). If you put 22.3 billion quarts of used oil into 55-gallon barrels and loaded them onto semi-trucks, a line of trucks would stretch end-to-end from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. and back to Los Angeles.

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t always trust statistics. Unless they make sense to me somehow, I tend to be a skeptic. Even so, it is not likely that the figures are arbitrarily pulled from thin air. Yet even if nationally less than half of all D-I-Yers improperly dispose, that is still a huge volume of used motor oil being slopped around. But by using AMSOIL you are cutting the waste to about a quarter of what it is now. Instead of changing your oil every 3,000 miles you can change you oil every 25,000 miles or once a year. So that is less oil in the ground, sewer and in landfills. I know that is hard to believe but it is true. Click here to read more about AMSOIL.

AMSOIL SOLUTIONS

For nearly three decades, AMSOIL INC. has been recognized as the leader in synthetic lubrication technology. AMSOIL was the first to introduce a synthetic motor oil qualified by the American Petroleum Institute, the first to recommend 25,000-mile/1-year drain intervals, the first to recommend 35,000-mile/1-year drain intervals, and the first to implement a system for dramatically increasing drain intervals with oil analysis. Decades of research, laboratory analysis and millions of engine miles have kept AMSOIL the leader in automotive applications for synthetic lubrication. Although the results have paid off in maximizing efficiency and minimizing waste, they are not conclusive. AMSOIL is the leader in synthetics and with continued research, analysis and product development will remain the industry’s leader.

LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE

In 1983 AMSOIL created the TRI-GARD system. The life of a lubricant is dependent on the quality of oil and the filtration systems ability to keep it clean.

The AMSOIL TRI-GARD system incorporates AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil, the AMSOIL Foam Air Filter, the AMSOIL By-Pass Filter and oil analysis to dramatically extend the oil change interval.

Less oil changed means less oil disposal and less oil pollution.

With regards to the environment, the AMSOIL Tri-Gard System is the most technologically sound, environmentally friendly motor oil program to reduce oil disposal.

OTHER ECOLOGICAL / ECONOMICAL BENEFITS OF AMSOIL

Reduces Emissions:
Increases Engine Life Each year nearly 600 million gallons of motor oil are burned and exit through the tailpipes of cars and trucks, creating emissions pollution. Petroleum oils volatilize (burn off) more readily than AMSOIL synthetic oils and create more emissions pollution.

The graph at the right shows the results of six oils that underwent the NOACK Volatility Test. Of all the oils tested, AMSOIL shows dramatically less weight loss. Less than half the weight loss of its closest counterpart.

Some oils tested lost almost 20 percent of their weight. That means almost one fifth of the oil boils away and is released into the environment. For most cars, that’s approximately a quart of oil being burned and expelled into nature. The thicker oil left behind after volatization contributes to damaging deposits, sticky piston rings and oil blow-by, all of which cause reduced engine life, reduced fuel economy and increased air pollution.

GREATER FUEL ECONOMY

The advanced lubricity (slipperiness) of AMSOIL synthetic lubricants has been proven to increase fuel economy by 2-5%. AMSOIL reduces friction and allows your engine to use its heat energy more efficiently.

How Much Is a 5% Savings in Fuel? The average person drives slightly more than 10,000 miles each year. A 5% savings in fuel gives you more than $18 in savings a year (assuming you get 30 mpg, at $1.10 per gallon)

Worldwide Vehicle Population

1970: 245 million
1985: 520 million
2000: 800 million

If 800 million vehicles change oil 3 times each year and have 5 quart systems, 1 billion quarts of waste oil will be generated each month.

“Each month, petroleum products emit the equivalent of an ‘oil spill’ into the Los Angeles Basin’s air as massive as the 10-million-gallon spill from the Exxon Valdez, according to the South Coast Air Quality Management District.”
