Help Save the Planet and some Money

Learn how to improve your gas mileage and save money on oil changes by simply changing the type of oil and oil filter you use. Most people use nonsynthetic oil and change it every 3 months or 3000 miles, just like the oil change services tell them to. Why? Does it really help your vehicle? Why not use a better oil and change it less. Save money on the oil and the service, and reduce your waste stream. I know this sounds to good to be true, but what do you have to lose by changing your oil?

Synthetic Oil Change

Most of the oil change services tout the 3000 mile oil change. If you drive a lot of miles that means your are changing your oil every other month. Is that really necessary? NO!! If you change to a high quality synthetic oil you can go up to 25,000 miles between oil changes. Imagine changing your oil once or twice a year as opposed to every other month.

Comments on the 3000 mile oil change!!

Tell me what you think about the idea of using high quality synthetic oil to increase your gas mileage and reduce the cost and time spent performing oil changes, as well as reducing the waste stream you generate.

    That solves part of the problem, but you still have to reprocess it, get worse gas mileage than synthetic and change it more often.

    Why not just use a quality re-refined oil like EcoPower?
