If you’ve been spending time in the shop — you should! — and you haven’t had a chance to keep up with Toolmonger this week, we suggest you start with these posts, which our readers helped to select: G-Oil: Biodegradable, Environmentally Safe Motor Oils We’re happy to see that Bio friendly products like G Oil are starting to be more convenient than the old standby’s. Instead of disposing of your old two stoke oil in less than desirable fashion you can convert it into soil with G-Disposoil. Even the container is bio degradable - that’s some serious green friendly.

Unless you have some Soviet-era East German or Russian clunker, I doubt your car is 2-cylinder, which is all that this oil is (allegedly) designed for. As for discarding the used oil w/ their add-in product to make it degradable -- note that it only makes their oil degradable. It's not going to do anything for the crap that's in the oil that made you replace it in the first place; and even if you'd used this stuff from the very beginning (meaning no petroleum or synthetic oil mixed in), I doubt you'd want to use it in your flower beds because of all the other gunk floating in the oil now.

Until I see hard data on how this holds up in real engines, no way would this go in my motor. not to mention, how are they getting around adding things like molybdenum and other metal-based anti-wear components that they add to regular oil. why on earth would I trust this in my car?

And wouldn't the used motor oil have plenty of old dino oil left over from the previous oil change, more than you want to use as dirt? But where can I buy this oil?
