The recovered oil from the filters and the used oil will be re-refined at Universal Lubricants’ refinery in Wichita in the US state of Kansas, to make its American Petroleum Institute certified green motor, ECO ULTRA.
The scrap steel from the oil filters is sent to a steel mill to be melted and used to produce new products ensuring that nothing ends up in a landfill.
Universal Lubricants collects used oil filters and oil from the government and private businesses such as repair centers, auto parts stores, dealerships, service stations, and oil change centers across the US.
The company then transports those oil filters to its oil recovery center in Wichita.
The oil recovered is put into the company’s technologically advanced re-refinery where it undergoes a hydro-treating process to remove all of the water, fuel and solvents as well as metals, asphalt flux and other heavy contaminants.
The purified high quality Grade II base stock oil is then blended with a synthetic formula and additives to make API certified ECO ULTRA products.
Equipment Savers is an on-site fueling, preventive maintenance and repair company based in Colarado, US.
