Due for an oil change? Well you can set aside the usual cost of getting a new oil filter for your vehicle and make some contributions to the environment as well. For the eco-friendly drivers, Filtermatic offers an appealing deal on their oil filters.

All of this becomes possible with this Filtermatic Used Oil Filter Recycling Machine. FilterMatic enables quick lube and auto service shop operators to meet or exceed environmental standards for used oil filter disposal while enabling shop owners to earn income from the sale of the filter metal. Steel collected from the filter can be sold.

Facts about the Filtermac Used Oil Filter Recycling Machine:

• removes and collects the steel base plate from the filter.
• crushes and extracts used oil from the filter.
• collects the resulting steel, filter, and used oil for proper recycling or disposal.

FilterMatic was successfully introduced last month at the annual Automotive Oil Change Association (AOCA) trade show and has since been invited to attend the 2009 annual invitation-only Jiffy Lube Convention & Trade Show.

The thing with some car accessories and parts is that they are sometimes limited to certain vehicle classes. And for SOMS Technologies, a provider of engine oil filtration products, expanding its car niche for compatibility with their eco-friendly oil filters is certainly a great piece of news for people who want to use their product.

Major European and Asian automotive brands, including Audi, Honda, Infinity, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Range Rover, Toyota and Volkswagen have now been included in their list of compatible cars that can make use of their eco-friendly filters. This latest expansion is in response to increased demand from fleets and individual drivers looking to reduce their carbon footprint while also saving money.

By extending the filter’s availability, now an even greater range of businesses and consumers can use the microGreen filter to increase environmental efficiency of their current vehicles or boost the efficiency of new hybrid vehicles.

The patented microGreen oil filter has two filters in one standard spin-on canister, which ensures that the oil stays cleaner, far longer – improving the life of the engine and allowing drivers to better maintain their vehicles. While traditional oil filters capture the larger particles in engine oil between 25 to 40 microns, microGreen’s patented microfilter system captures particles down to two microns in size.

This allows vehicles to operate up to 30,000 miles without an oil change, reducing motor oil use by 70 percent, filter use by 50 percent and cutting oil maintenance costs by 65 percent. As a result, businesses and consumers can ‘green’ their vehicles and see an immediate return-on-investment, unlike other eco-friendly alternatives.
