Where conventional bar & chain oil is a TOTAL LOSS application, in which 100% of the oil ends up in the environment, contaminating soil, surface and groundwater as well as the air, G-OIL Bio-based Bar & Chain "green" Oil will biodegrade.  Using this superior performing Ultimate Biodegradable oil made with American-grown base oils will also reduce harmful carbon emissions by up to 50% when compared to conventional bar & chain oils.

Ultimate Biodegradable G-OIL Bio-Synthetic 2 Cycle and Bio-Synthetic 4 Cycle small engine oils are both superior performing oils that meet the highest API service standards.  The "no smoke – no smell" USDA BioPreferred® 2 cycle formulation extends engine life and works with all brands, reducing CO2 by 37% versus conventional counterparts.  The USDA BioPreferred® 10W-30 and SAE 30 4 Cycle meets API SM, SL and SJ, also works with all brands and reduces carbon emissions by up to 67% versus conventional counterparts.

Mike Sullivan is the reigning two-time gold medalist competing in ESPN's Great Outdoor Games. He holds 26 world titles including five time Hot Saw and more than 100 overall titles. Sullivan will conduct live demonstrations in booth 114, explaining how G-OIL's natural bio-base provides more lubricity, is less harmful to the environment, reduces friction and bar & chain heat, and is easier to "clean-up".  Demonstrations will begin on Tuesday, May 1st, with four demonstrations per day throughout the three day event.

GET-G will be offering Home and Hardware Show specials to retailers in the form of  25% free bonus pack Bar & Chain Oil (5QTs for the price of a gallon) and free 2.6oz or 3.2oz 2-Cycle Bio-Synthetic Green Engine Oil with purchase of 32oz Bar & Chain Oil quarts.

The National Home and Hardware Show is the largest of its kind and it attracts major retailers such as Walmart, ACE Hardware, True Value Hardware, Do It Best, The Home Depot, Menards and Lowes. The show runs Tuesday, May 1st, 2012 through Thursday, May 3rd, 2012 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
