Bio-based Motor Oil Receives API Certification
G-OIL SAE 5W-30 motor oil, a bio-based motor oil from Green Earth Technologies, received certification from the American Petroleum Institute earlier this month. The certification paves the way for G-OIL to carry API’s official service symbol and make its way to retail. Although the company said it does not expect G-OIL 5W-30 to reach retail shelves until June, “bulk” oil will be made available much sooner to satisfy the fast-lube market. The company also plans to finalize the testing and certification process for 10W-30 and 5W-20 by the end of summer.
