Synthetic Lubricants Improve Fuel Economy

(3BLMedia/theCSRfeed) March 9, 2010 - Earning a Gold level certification as a Green business is no small task.  The fact that this Green Certification was earned by an oil changing service is even more remarkable.  Some might think that a lube service is an unlikely candidate to be considered as a Green certified business; but it must be remembered that everyone must contribute to the environmental issue, and no one is exempt from the process.  Reliable Lubes of Coplay, PA is very proud to be a progressive Green business.

Consider the length this company goes in the recycling effort.  The oil is recovered and recycled into heating oil.  Organic trash is put into a composting process.  Plastic bags are recycled, and computer equipment is recycled as well.  With using High Quaintly AMSOIL products you will reduce your waste stream of used motor oil and filters, increase your MPG, and increase the life of your oil lubricated equipment. AMSOIL products are fully recyclable.

Fuel economy is becoming more important with each passing year. Gas and diesel prices keep rising, putting a major strain on businesses that rely on vehicles, heavy equipment, and machinery in their daily operations. AMSOIL synthetic lubricants improve fuel economy by allowing moving parts to move more freely, using less energy and creating less friction than when conventional lubricants are used.

The use of AMSOIL synthetic motor oil, gear lubes and transmission fluids can have a profound impact on fuel economy. Industry tests demonstrate an average conservative decrease in fuel consumption by two to five percent by switching to synthetic lubricants. Many AMSOIL customers report even larger gains in fuel economy. If you drive 15,000 miles per year, get 20MPG, pay $2.50 per gallon, a 3% increase in fuel economy will save you $56.25 and a 5% increase will save you $93.75 per year, more than paying for your AMSOIL oil change. The saving really pile up for fleets.

Messages on the importance of being “green” and erasing our carbon footprints are everywhere these days.  Consumers are becoming increasingly more conscious about how the purchasing decisions they make impact the environment.  On the other hand, worries over rising costs of everyday purchases (fuel, groceries, etc.) have consumers scrambling to find a product they can feel good about that won’t break the bank.

Since the introduction of the world’s first synthetic motor oil, AMSOIL synthetic lubricants have been setting new standards for lubricant quality.  They are specially designed to protect engine components, reduce emissions, last longer, reduce fuel consumption and prevent environmental pollution.  From the beginning, AMSOIL synthetic  lubricants have outperformed conventional petroleum lubricants on all counts. Heating comes from a corn-fired furnace and a programmable thermostat is used.  Solar power augments the energy use for garage lights.  Energy Star appliances and windows are already in place.  Powerstrips are used to eliminate phantom load.

The list of all the environmental improvements are more than impressive, and Reliable Lubes earned an impressive 215 points during its audut by Heather Deschenes, a Certified Green Consultant, from Green Impact Solutions.  Reliable Lube was a Green business before Heather came along, but Heather has shown Dave Nold, the owner, even more great ideas for Greening his company.  A Certified Green Consultant from the Green Business League does more than audit a business for Green Practices, he or she also acts as a kind of sustainability officer or Green coach to promote the continuation of the Green process for years to come.
