Universal Lubricants of Wichita, KS, and
Oil Can Henry's of Tualatin, OR, has announced a
campaign designed to increase awareness about the
multifold benefits—economic and environmental—that stem
from proper motor vehicle maintenance using ECO ULTRA®
motor oil. ECO ULTRA® is a line of eco-friendly motor
oil options that preserve finite natural resources and
reduce the need to import foreign oil, while
guaranteeing optimal engine performance.
Oil Can Henry's, which operates 88 service centers in
Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, and
Washington, has earned its reputation as "The One You
Can Trust" by involving customers in the service and
educating them about their vehicles. "Our customers
remain in their vehicles, where they can watch and
listen as our trained technicians perform the services
they request," said John E. Shepanek, chairman of Oil
Can Henry's. "We also help them understand their
vehicles' maintenance needs by explaining the vehicle
manufacturer's recommended service schedules and how
preventive maintenance services can help their vehicles
run better and last longer."
Oil Can Henry's is committed to reducing impact on the
environment by recycling used oil, antifreeze and other
items from customers' services. "By offering ECO
ULTRA®, we're helping our customers attend to the needs
of their vehicles and the needs of the planet,"
Shepanek said.
The U.S. produces approximately 1.3 billion gallons of
used oil each year, but only 10% of it is re-refined.
The overwhelming majority of used oil is either
improperly disposed of (damaging the environment) or
burned as an industrial fuel and gone forever.
Dedicated to reversing this unnecessary waste,
Universal Lubricants produces ECO ULTRA® recycled
products, which when used for an average four quart
motor oil change, reduces the national need to import
two barrels of imported oil, every time. Additionally,
by being part of Universal Lubricants proprietary
closed-loop process in which it collects, re-refines,
blends and distributes its own motor oil—never losing
guardianship within the chain—ECO ULTRA® products
safeguard our Nation's waterways, as it only takes the
used oil from one engine change to contaminate one
million gallons of fresh water.
"Oil Can Henry's educates its customers, who in
turn make educated choices for themselves.
Understanding the numerous benefits of premium re-
refined motor oil, we're seeing thousands deliberately
choosing to be active stewards of the environment and
to promote America's shift towards greater energy
security by asking for ECO ULTRA® by name," said John
Wesley, chief executive officer of Universal
Lubricants. "So when it comes to something as simple
and routine as an automotive tune-up, know that you too
can take a stand against avoidable pollution and
foreign oil dependence. You too can ask for ECO
ULTRA®."
