Why Use Rerefined Oil?

Rerefined oil--an exciting renewable resource--is designed to reduce the environmental impact of used oils by conserving valuable oil resources. Rerefining oil is an energy-efficient and environmentally beneficial method of managing used oil. Less energy is required to recover a gallon of rerefined base stock than a base stock from crude oil. Rerefined oil takes about one-third the energy of refining crude oil to lubricant quality. Rather than using the oil once, rerefining extends the life of a nonrenewable resource by converting it into a usable material that can be recovered and used again.
