INDUSTRY CERTIFICATION
Lubricants made from re-refined base stocks must undergo the same testing and meet the same standards as virgin lubricants in order to receive the certification of the American Petroleum Institute (API).
There are many practical uses for used motor oil. A primary use is to re-refine it into a base stock for lubricating oil. This process is very similar to the refining of crude oil. The result is that the re-refined oil is of as high a quality as a virgin oil product.
Recycling used oil allows us to continue to enjoy what many of us take for granted every day–clean water.
Recycling your used motor oil keeps it out of our rivers, lakes, streams, and even the groundwater. In many cases, that means keeping it out of our drinking water, off our beaches, and away from wildlife. We all share the responsibility of protecting our environment and keeping our waters safe.

Recycling used oil keeps it from polluting soil and water. Recycling and reusing used motor oil is preferable to disposal and can provide great environmental benefits.
Motor oil does not wear out – it just gets dirty – so recycling it saves a valuable resource. Less energy is required to produce a gallon of re-refined base stock than a base stock from crude oil. One gallon of used motor oil provides the same 2.5 quarts of lubricating oil as 42 gallons of crude oil.
