MENLO PARK, CA -- Green Earth Technologies recently introduced G-OIL, a “totally green” biodegradable motor oil, which the company says is guaranteed to protect engines as well as the leading brands, but without the environmental hazards or dependence on foreign oil.

Available in a full range of performance levels and viscosities, G-OIL is safe to use in any gasoline, diesel or hybrid engine, according to the company. It’s the first bio-based, high-endurance motor oil to provide superior performance during the maximum oil change interval recommended by vehicle manufacturers.

G-OIL is manufactured from tallow acquired from American farmers. Tallow is culled from beef and has been used to make animal feed, soap and no longer used for cooking. G-OIL is made utilizing a proprietary process that converts tallow from a solid raw material into completely biodegradable motor oil for gasoline and diesel engines as well as hybrid cars.

G-OIL was launched to retailers at the 2007 AAPEX show held earlier this month in Las Vegas.
