There are more automobiles on the roads today than ever before, and this trend is obviously going to continue. Unfortunately, oil consumption is going to continue to increase by means of gasoline consumption, and motor oil consumption. Most Americans have been taught from previous generations to always change your oil every 3,000 miles to make your engine last longer. Granted this is partially true, the environment suffers tremendously from the disposal of all this waste oil. We"ve been in the auto-repair industry for quite some time, and very rarely see engine failures caused by "old" oil. Some of our customers change their oil every 3,000 miles as recommended by their service manuals, but many of them wait until 5,000 miles or more, and use the cheapest oil they can buy. And yet, their engines still last over 150K miles without having failure due to old engine oil. This just goes to show that most factory engines can tolerate fairly extreme service conditions. For the most part, engine problems are usually caused by overheating, over-revving, lack of maintenance, and the usual lead-foot abuse. With today"s high-quality synthetic motor oils, there is no reason or excuse to not be switching to longer drain-intervals. If everybody extended their drain-intervals by only 1,000 miles, the reduction of waste oil would be phenomenal. Our overall oil consumption in the US would decrease enough that it would draw national attention. Thankfully, Mobil 1 has recently introduced their own line of extended-drain synthetic oils, and I expect many more to follow suit in the very near future. This really adds credibility to AMSOIL"s long-standing claims of extended drain-intervals, and is a huge step towards convincing people that longer drain-intervals are perfectly safe. Although the initial cost is relatively expensive, the savings obtained from increased gas mileage, less frequent oil changes, and reduction of waste oil are all extremely important reasons to switch to a premium quality extended-drain synthetic motor oil. In addition, synthetics provide far better engine protection, especially in temperature extremes, where most conventional oils break down and provide very little protection to bearings and other moving parts. Regardless of which brand you choose, be responsible, and extend your drain-intervals. Woods Bros. Racing is a certified AMSOIL Dealer with over 15 years of experience in the auto-repair industry.

It’s likely that the farmers would blockade the countries roads for starters! Unfortunately, the possibility of this happening are becoming more and more likely with increasing tensions around the world leading to ever increasing oil prices and volatility in the world markets. Fossil fuels are running out an alarming rate and people are starting to look seriously at other alternatives.
Needless to say, an increase in oil prices will create hardships to the economy and in every person’s life. But some people state that the only way to get them to use public transport or to walk the 5 minutes to the local shop instead of driving is to price them out of using their cars for inefficient journeys. Increasingly people and making their own biodiesel fuel from used cooking oil to run their cars to reduce their dependence on oil.
Biodiesel is made from vegetable oil (including used oil) in a process called •transesterification•, whereby the glycerine is separated from the oil leaving a clean burning fuel that will efficiently power any diesel engine with vastly reduced exhaust emissions this is good for the environment. People have been deserting their local petrol station in favour of using waste vegetable oil from large scale users such as pubs, restaurants, or pure oil off the shelf.
The government is becoming aware of this use of cheaper, alternative fuel and is targeting this eco method as they are not paying tax on this oil which they would be doing if they bought petrol. The government appears to pay lip service to reducing climate change as the small number of Bio-diesal users are being targeted for tax evasion instead of encouraged to use this eco friendly fuel. Where is the incentive for current Bio-diesel users and companies to invest in research and development?
For those of you that are thinking of making the change there are different process or kits available to convert car engines and these cost between £400 and £1,200. All you need to add is vegetable oil, methanol, a small amount of catalyst, electricity and tap water into this conversion and your ready to go! Oh….. and don’t forget to tell the taxman.
