Biodegradable Synthetic Oil

Anyone seen this? I did a search but couldnt find anything about it on here.

Green Earth Technologies

I cant find anything about it on here, but it seems interesting. Apparently you can drink the stuff. It seems to come from cow fat based on what the FAQ says.

Soo hooray, now my neighbors won't yell at me when I throw oil in my yard.*

*I dont actually throw it in my yard. I throw it in theirs.

Now I'm not a big fan of recycling everything, but I like recycling much more then disposable products, with oil they can filter it and clean it up and put in more additives and make it in to a new product, if you have an oil that can be dumped down the drain, then just like when you try to get lots of people to recycle or composte, you will get people with dino-oil who forget what they have, or don't understand, who once again start dumping it on the ground just because everyone else is doing it.

So what I'm thinking... is it CLEANER than traditional oils? Can I throw it in the oil furnace when I'm done with it, like I do with the other oil? (We have a 99% efficient "reclaimed oil furnace" that heats the garage in the winter.)

Better yet, can I run it as engine oil, then when it needs to be changed, can I filter it up and toss it in with a few gallons of bio-diesel and throw it in the truck I don't own yet?

Those are all the questions that run the gamut of my mind about this product.

I see on Amazon that the products are average priced though. So at least that's one thing that wouldn't be an excuse not to use it.

It's trading at less than $1 a share right now... I'm pretty sure I'm going to get in on it LOL.

I find no info about 4-stroke oil. The test show is for 2-stroke oils. In fact, I can't even figure out where you get the 4-stroke them claim to produce.

I'm not impressed by 2-stroke oil made from fat oils. It burns, woohoo! It's proven that even canola oil will work in a 2-stroke. Not very well, but it works. They just took the time to refine that produce effectively.

I want to see their tests on 4-stroke oils. I want to see GET beat AMSOil or Mobil1 in testing. This company is over 2 years old, and still no new 4-stroke information. It's a green-wash. Nothing new to see here.

Yeah I noticed that too. They show 5w40 on their site but all I can find is 2 stroke.

Hmmm?

Also, I really want a waste oil heater for my garage too. I started to build one but found out it wouldnt pass city code blah so I just kept the kerosene out there.
