G-OiL: Bio-Tech Motor Oil

Wave of the Future Petroleum-based Motor Oil Replacement

Fern Fischer
The company is Green Earth Technologies.

The products are "G" branded totally green, totally American grown and manufactured base oils that provide superior performance. These products are completely environmentally safe. They range from G-OIL 2-Cycle oils for use in all small gasoline engines, to G-OIL 4-Cycle oils, to high performance motor oils which have recently been approved by the American Le Mans Racing Series and the International Motor Sports Association. The high performance motor oil passed the test criteria for SM Certification by the American Petroleum Institute in November 2008, which made it the first and only bio-oil for motors. The first motor oil to be marketed is their 5W-30 weight, and it is on the shelves now at over 2,000 locations with that number growing. Look for all Green Earth Technologies products at Home Depot, Target, VIP, National Auto, Fred Meyer, Kroger, Albertsons, participating ACE & True Value dealers, Redners, Trader Horns, The Andersons, Biggs, Bennett Auto, Frank's Auto Supermarket and Amazon.com.

The 2-Cycle "No Smoke" oil, 4-Cycle oil, and Bar & Chain Eco-Oil, and G-Lube penetration oils for outdoor power equipment have been available to consumers since May 2008. There will soon be three grades of G-OIL motor oil available. The 5W-30 is available now in bulk as well as quart containers. 10W-30 and 10W-40 will be available soon.

Green Earth Technologies also manufactures the following environmentally sound products:
G-Wash Car Wash, G-Glass Glass Cleaner, G-Glass Rain Repellent, G-Glass Anti-Fog, G-Tire Tire Shine, G-Wheel Wheel Cleaner, G-Wheel Brake Dust Shield, and G-Scent Odor Eliminator.

All products have achieved the highest ranking of "Ultimate Biodegradable" from the American Society for Testing and Materials. This means that the products break down from carbon into carbon dioxide by 60% in 28 days.

G-OIL is made from totally renewable American grown animal fats and plant oils. These fats have a single-bond carbon chain molecular structure that is similar to petroleum carbon chain structures. The base oil is a proprietary formula that has both low temperature operation and high temperature stability. G-OILs and lubricants can operate at temperatures as low as --44 degrees Fahrenheit. (Previous oils made from animal fats could only operate as low as positive 40 degrees Fahrenheit.) In addition, the G-Oils have a higher Flash Point of 262 degrees Fahrenheit, as compared to Mobil One (230F) and Penzoil (219F).

FACTS:

• 3 barrels of crude oil = 1 barrel petroleum-based motor oil

• 1 barrel animal fat = 1 barrel G-OIL motor oil

• 585 Million gallons of motor oil are used in the US annually.

• G-OIL Price is comparable to synthetics and other high performance products.

• G-OIL has no detrimental effects on the environment, and the products are totally recyclable and biodegradable.

• The technology that makes this kind of product development possible is nanotechnology (think molecular and atomic level physics).

While it is true that we are still using gasoline to power the engines lubricated with G-OILs, switching to this kind of product is certainly a major step in the right direction. Help create a customer base and a demand for these environmentally safe products by buying and using G-OILs and the other G-Brand products whenever you can. Support the move away from foreign oil and support our American entrepreneurs in their efforts to give our children a safer, greener world.
