The old literal GREEN formulation of GC is green with Envy.

We NEED to squeesze RLI in. Anything? Anything at all?

It just might make your engine Biodegrade, so be careful. I have more faith in the testimonials of RLI.. its same concept as G-Oil. Traction on this? ???
 
Castrol was started by Charles Wakefield,he got the name Castrol from castor oil,what Castrol was first made from.Castrol may have been the first bio-degradable oil.

Castrol History
 
This sounds like a good idea, but I don't see it ever getting past boutique oil status...there isn't enough beef tallow in the U.S. to supply all the engine oil needs even if they can get the price down anywhere near being competitive with the petroleum engine oil makers.

If you really want to go green, Ecopower's re-refined recycled oil makes much more sense, and is cost competitive with other off the shelf oils in auto parts stores.

BioPreferred is a Federal program that seeks to increase the purchase and use of biobased goods — products made from biological or renewable materials.

What Is BioPreferredSM?

BioPreferred was created by the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (FSRIA) to increase the procurement and use of biobased products by establishing:

1.
A procurement preference program for Federal agencies and their contractors, and
2.
A labeling program to enable the marketing of biobased products.

What Are BioPreferredSM Products?

As determined by the Secretary of Agriculture, biobased products are commercial or industrial products (other than food or feed) composed wholly or in significant part of biological products including renewable agricultural materials (plant, animal, and marine materials) or forestry materials.

Sounds like they want plenty of "preferred" government contracts, and that the individual market is an after thought.
 
"G" stands for government then I guess. Nevermind that bulk re-refined recycled oil is far cheaper and probably at least as environmentally friendly...sounds like corn subsidies to me...
