# Green G-Oil: The Eco-Friendly Motor Oil - Link: https://greenlivingguy.com/2009/10/green-g-oil-the-eco-friendly-motor-oil/ - Published: 2009-10-27T13:09:04-04:00 - Author: greenlivingguy ## Introducing a Green G-Oil Alternative Green Earth Technologies (G.E.T.) has [transformed](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/04/g-oil-5w-30-motor-oil-no-offshore-drilling-for-this-stuff/) the way drivers think about motor oil. Instead of relying on traditional petroleum- based products, they created G-OIL—a biodegradable, renewable motor oil. Therefore, it offers an eco-friendly alternative that doesn’t sacrifice performance. Unlike standard oils, G-OIL is made from animal fats, which are sustainable and renewable resources. Moreover, this approach reduces our dependence on fossil fuels, cutting greenhouse gas emissions associated with extraction and refining. As a result, drivers who use G-OIL help promote a cleaner, more sustainable future. ### High Standards for Performance and Quality Although many consumers worry about the quality of green products, G-OIL meets rigorous industry standards. It earned the American Petroleum Institute’s SM certification for gasoline engines. Therefore, drivers can feel confident knowing their vehicles stay protected. ![A mechanic in clean work clothes pours g oil biodegradable motor oil into a car engine inside a bright professional garage with green recycling bins sustainability posters and a large g oil bottle labeled with usda certified biobased product seal]( https://i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/75B9ECC9-C558-41D9- AF6B-2705E001A24D-300x200.png?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 "75B9ECC9-C558-41D9-AF6B-2705E001A24D- The Green Living Guy") A mechanic uses G OIL biodegradable motor oil in a sustainable auto service center promoting renewable products that reduce petroleum dependence Additionally, G-OIL undergoes the same demanding tests as petroleum oils. It provides excellent lubrication, reduces wear, and maintains engine cleanliness. As a result, drivers enjoy reliable performance while lowering their environmental impact. Moreover, this certification demonstrates that sustainability and quality can coexist. ### Green G-Oil: Reducing Environmental Impact The environmental benefits of G-OIL go beyond renewable ingredients. It is biodegradable, so it breaks down more safely in the environment. Unlike conventional oils, which can persist and contaminate soil or water, G-OIL’s formulation helps reduce pollution risks. Furthermore, using renewable animal fats helps utilize existing resources that might otherwise go to waste. By diverting these materials from the waste stream, G.E.T. supports a more circular economy. Additionally, fewer fossil fuel inputs mean less drilling, less refining, and fewer associated emissions. Therefore, every quart of G-OIL represents a step toward a cleaner planet. ### Supporting a Sustainable Automotive Industry Moreover, Green Earth Technologies’ work encourages the entire automotive industry to innovate. As drivers demand greener solutions, manufacturers and suppliers must adapt. This shift can lead to new jobs in green chemistry, sustainable production, and advanced recycling. Additionally, by offering consumers a real choice, G.E.T. empowers drivers to take personal action against climate change. Instead of waiting for sweeping policy changes, people can make small, meaningful shifts today. As a result, collective action can drive large-scale change. ### Green G-Oil: A Simple Choice for a Better Future Ultimately, G-OIL proves that sustainability and performance don’t have to be at odds. Drivers get high-quality motor oil that meets strict industry standards while reducing their environmental footprint. Therefore, choosing G-OIL is an easy way to support renewable resources, reduce waste, and help fight climate change. By making responsible decisions in everyday maintenance, consumers can support a [cleaner, healthier planet](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/07/urban-waste-and-the-power-of-community-action/). As more people choose green solutions, companies will continue to innovate, building a truly sustainable future for transportation. [Green Earth Technologies](http://www.getg.com/) is a “TOTALLY GREEN” clean-tech company that combines renewable sourced feed stocks with proprietary technologies molded around the four ideologies of being GREEN: * Renewable * Recyclable * Biodegradable * Environmentally friendly Chemicals, when stored or transported, use a diamond shaped diagram of symbols and numbers to indicate the degree of hazard associated when a particular chemical or material. These diamond shaped symbols are for fire, health, reactivity and special hazards. The diagram identifies four color-coded categories of hazard for each material. Each category is divided in levels of hazard potential with increasing numbers indicating increasing hazards ranging form 0 (no hazard) to 4 (hazardous). Green Earth Technologies prides itself on its perfect three zero or four diamond safety rating. This means that all GET products pose no health risks to its handlers, is not flammable, has no detrimental reactivity with other chemicals and poses absolutely NO health threat.( Source: Green Earth Technologies) ### Here are some more fun facts about G.E.T.: 1. Reductions in Greenhouse gas emissions 2. Provide significant reductions in HC (hydrocarbons -32%), CO (carbon monoxide - 48%) and NOx (nitrous oxides -80% emissions 3. Best solution to air and water pollution 4. Can be stored anywhere ### **Renewable Resources** G-OIL™ bottles are 100% recyclable and made from recycled plastics ranging from 25% to 100% post consumer content.  The labels are printed using water based inks on recycled paper. Available Weights: ** ** * **5W-20** * **5W-30** * **10W-30** * **10W-40**** ** * **SAE-30** Meets or exceeds requirements of API SM,  and previous API gasoline engine standards. * [Ultimate Biodegradable](https://greenlivingguy.com/2016/05/biodegradable-renewable-recyclable-dont-we-want-that-with-our-oil-and-cleaning-products/) is the highest biodegradability ranking determined by ASTM Standards (2.1 ASTM D-5864) ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/df91669667126e1290c21ee0342c386e2da19d588d4d9ca6560bd82ed59a9641? s=300&d=monsterid&r=g) greenlivingguy The Green Living Guy, Seth Leitman is an independent power producer, a green living expert, and Editor of the McGraw-Hill, TAB Green Guru Guides.
