Make an Impact

Reduce impact on the environment with your next oil change.

The amount of energy used to find, drill, transport and refine crude oil is significant. NextGen eliminates or reduces many of these steps, and therefore has a smaller "carbon footprint," reduces energy consumption and cuts fossil fuel use compared to oil made without recycled content. NextGen helps reduce the need for new drilling and crude refining, by reusing what's already been pulled out of the ground.

The importance of used oil recycling

Every year, approximately 800 Million gallons of motor oil are used in U.S. cars and trucks. When you consider that one gallon of motor oil can contaminate up to one million gallons of drinking water, you can see the importance of ensuring that all of those gallons make their way to a recycling center.
