When synthetic motor oils came on the market, there were a huge number of folks who defiantly claimed they would never touch the stuff with a 10 foot pole. Many of those same people are pouring a quart of synthetic into their crankcase this very moment. I imagine the same sentiment will prevail with G-Oil, a patent pending motor oil made from American grown base oils (plant oils and animal fats). G-oil is 100 percent biodegradable by using G-Oil’s G-DISPOSOIL system that converts the oil into soil. G-Oil straight out of the container is non-toxic. Used oil containing contaminants from the engine are still probably not something you want to chuck in your vegetable garden.

The motor oil is suitable for use in diesel and gasoline engines that require API Service SJ, SL, SM/CD, CDI, CE, CF, CF-2, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4, CI-4, CL-4 Plus and ACEA E2-96, or E5-02 Issue2/B3-98/A3-98. The oil is (will be) available in all common weights, from 2-cycle oil to 20W-50 motor oil. Not only is the oil itself biodegradable, but the containers are recyclable and the labels are paper-based and printed with soy ink.
