Green Earth Technologies, creator of organic engine products, has released their new automotive lubricant to its G-Oil line, a 10W-30 that has set a new biodegradability standard. The oil, like the others in the line, is made from saturated fat from cows, which works great for high performance in engines. This new oil is for 4-cycle off-road and recreational vehicle engines.and so helps out an eensy bit with the impact vehicles have when operated, though it’s not like these types of vehicles tend to be ultra green in the first place. The new oil will be available nationwide in the fall of this year. And you don’t have to just be content with the oil, since they have quite a product listing of items based on animal fat.

I love it, after you do an oil change, bring the oil to your wife's garden and dump it!

only problem I see (aside from your car smelling like a burning steak, maybe?) is the cost is about 2x synthetic at Amazon (this is for the lawnmower oil, the engine oil isn't listed yet). Owch!

wait, if we can make engine oil out of this stuff, cant we make gasoline out of it too? I can see it now,"damn alot of people are cooking steak arent they?" Whats awesome about this stuff too is that its made from a renewable resource, and not only that it is also the stuff we dont normally eat off the cow.

ALl i can say is at least someone is thinking.

god knows america has its fair share of fatties. Id like to go pick up a fat girl, and take her to the plant that makes the oil

"Hi, i have a cow i need the fat sucked out of for some oil for my car"

"sure, wheres your cow? did you bring it by trailer?"

"Nah, shes sitting in the front seat"

Cool! To bad about the price though. It would be nice to see more test comparisons than I saw on their site. I wonder how much unused cow fat there is or isn't, I still want lard in my mexican food.

just because it can lubricate doesn't mean it can ignite, or run "efficiently".

Wars in the future won't be fought over oilfields but meadows and cornfields.

Yes. You can make Biodiesel out of it. Rather than pay to have our grease traps suctioned at my restaurant, we have a guy who does it for free and converts it to biodiesel.

LOL anyone remember in Fight Club when they put up that billboard that said:

"DID YOU KNOW: You can use old motor oil to fertilize your lawn?" This message brought to you by the Environmental Protection Agency
