"According to a recent study by the California Integrated Waste Management Board, 73 percent of California drivers change their oil more frequently than required. This same scenario no doubt repeats itself across the country. Besides wasting money, this translates into unnecessary consumption of $100-a-barrel oil, much of it imported...

Using 2005 data, the Board estimates that Californians alone generate about 153.5 million gallons of waste oil annually, of which only about 60 percent is recycled. Used motor oil poses the greatest environmental risk of all automotive fluids because it is insoluble, persistent, and contains heavy metal and toxic chemicals. One gallon of used oil can foul the tastte of one million gallons of water...

It's been a misconception for years that engine oil should be changed every 3 000 miles, even though most auto manufacturers now recommend oil changes at 5 000, 7 000, or even 10 000 mile intervals under normal driving conditions...

Greatly improved oils, including synthetic oils, coupled with better engines mean loner spans between oil changes without harming an engine. The 3 000 mile interval is a carryover from days when engines used single-grade, non-detergent oils...

Because of the many external conditions and parameters that have to be taken into account, calculating the precise maximum service interval using mathematical models alone is difficult...

Oil doesn't wear out, but rather dirt and impurities cause oil to lose its ability to lubricate properly, dictating the need for a change."

Product Description:

The Oil Centrifuge Filtration Kit was specifically designed for 2001 through 2010 Duramax diesel engines and cleans oil by generating a centrifugal force 2000 times greater than gravity. Engine oil pressure spins the rotor at a rate over 6000 rpm, separating the solid contaminants from the main oil supply and spinning them to a removable outer bowl which is easily scraped clean.
