Re-refined oil to
lubricate fleet

THE B.C. Government will have
25 per cent of its automobiles us-
ing re-refined motor oii within 90
days and even more in months to
come, Government Management
Services Minister Cliff Michael and
Environment Minister’ Bruce
Strachan announced recently.

“For years we have been urging
British Columbians to recycle their
used motor oil — and they’ve
responded superbly,’’ Strachan
said. ‘‘Now we are asking them to
join us in using the recycled pro-
duct. The simple fact is, oil doesn’t
wear out, and re-refining makes it
possible to get further use from a
potential pollutant.’”

“We are opening our doors to
open tendering by the re-refined oil
industry for all the iubricating oil
needs of the B.C. Government,
providing the firms pre-qualify by
Meeting the required standards,”’
said Michael, the minister respon-
sible for vehicle management.

trafiic. It’s time for the B.C. Gov-
ernment to start using it in our
automobiles and light trucks.

“We cannot make this change
overnight because our 5,000 vehi-
cles are maintained in approxi-
mately 1,000 private garages and
service stations throughout B.C.,”’
Michael said. “‘Only a few of them
now stock re-refined lubricating
oil, but we will be encouraging
them to use it in government vehi-
cles and to offer it to their other
customers. Crown corporations
like BC Rail and 3.C. Ferries are

* being asked to -investigate the use

of re-refined oil for their iubrica-
tion needs.

‘World-class oil  re-refining
technology has been developed by
the Mohawk Oil Company at its
plant in North Vancouver but the
supply of re-refirred motor oil far
exceeds the demand for this
recycled product,’’ Michael said.
