THE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY OIL CHANGE
EcoPower–a quality motor oil that’s:
- Recycled
- Twice refined
- Uses up to 85% less energy to produce
* EcoPower exceeds the highest North American standards for gasoline engine oil
QUALITY OIL - TWICE REFINED
EcoPower base oil made from used oil is clearer than a virgin base oil made from crude. Production processes of re-refined vs. virgin crude oil are virtually identical with re-refined quality being equal to virgin base oil quality.
The American Petroleum Institute (API) evaluates base oils only on exacting performance criteria and re-refined oils must perform to the same standards as oil made from virgin crude.
Motor oil doesn’t wear out or somehow lose its lubricity. It just gets dirty. By re-refining it to a base oil and then blending in the right additive package, a quality re-refined motor oil is produced.
CLOSING THE RECYCLING LOOP
We help you close the recycling loop, providing quality recycled products that are easier on the environment.
Here's how it works:
- Customers enjoy an environmentally friendly EcoPower re-refined oil change at Firestone
- Safety-Kleen provides used motor oil pickup
- Safety-Kleen re-refines used motor oil
This process uses up to 85% less energy to produce and only 1/10th of the feedstock compared to virgin crude, conserving scarce natural resources. |
