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®."
