We don’t normally think of automotive oil as being green, but Eco Ultra may just change that perception.
The oil is made from used automotive, industrial, heavy duty, and railroad engine oil, which is then refined and blended with various additives to make a lubricant that meets all current standards and requirements. It’s made by Universal Lubricants in a re-refinery in Wichita, Kansas, one of only four such facilities in the United States.
“It uses 89 percent less energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 36 percent in the production of its recycled lubricants versus similar products produced through traditional oil refineries,” explained Universal. “We help preserve the environment by reusing this valuable resource and help make the U.S. less dependent on foreign oil.”
Eco-Ultra is available in a wide range of oils, from traditional synthetic blends to tractor and hydraulic oil.
