Two trucks.1,000,000 miles each.Using nothing but EcoPower Engine Oil.

An independent engine test with fully loaded, long-haul trucks.

Under extended drain intervals of more than 40,000 miles.

EcoPower HD 15W-40 CJ-4/SM showed exceptional engine protection.

In fact, vital engine parts were reused when the 2007 Cummins ISX engines were rebuilt.

Protect.


First, EcoPower was tested and compared for a half-million miles

After 500,000 miles, EcoPower HD 15W-40 API CJ-4/SM was as good as or better than two leading premium HD oils made from crude.

Superior viscosity maintenanceEcoPower maintains 15W-40 API CJ-4 viscosity grade characteristics (12.5 to 16.3 cSt), even after 500,000 miles and 40,000+-mile oil change intervals.

Superior total base number retentionEcoPower possesses acid neutralization capability, even after 40,000+ miles of service.

“In this engine, I see no signs of distress anywhere. In fact, these [original] cams meet the visual guidelines for reusability. And when we rebuild these engines…the cams are going right back in the engines, and they'll be going back into service with these cams, even after a million miles.”

Pat Fetterman, Industrial Liaison, Infineum USA L.P.*Over 30 years of formulating and testing engine oils

* Infineum conducted the test


EcoPower protects the environment by:

Using up to 85% less energy to produce than oil made from virgin crude

Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 7,668 metric tons for every million gallons of EcoPower used That’s equal to the carbon sequestered by

growing 198,725 trees for 10 years in an urban environment

How does EcoPower protect the environment?


It takes 42 barrels of crude oil to refine the same amount of base oil as from 1 barrel of used motor oil.

50% of green DIFM customers would buy EcoPower because it reduces dependence on foreign crude*

EcoPower also reduces dependence on foreign oil

It’s used by some of the largest fleets and DIFM Installers in North America


How can using a greener engine oil help grow your business?


38% of adults 18+ almost always or regularly purchase ‘green’ products. That’s 119,087,440 million people in the U.S.2

Companies recognize brand-building value for being sustainability-driven.1 (See video clip)

Almost 60% of companies have increased investments in sustainability.1

Using a greener oil, that cost about the same, can help you attract or keep customers that care about the environment

People and companies care about the environmentCreates opportunity to grow business
