STAMFORD, Conn., Jan. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Green Earth Technologies (Pink Sheets: GETG) announced today that their G-OIL Ultimate Biodegradable green motor oils will now be sold at Honest-1 Auto Care™, a national full-service auto repair and maintenance franchise chain.  Honest-1 Auto Care is 100 percent ESA™ Certified Eco-Friendly Auto Care and is committed to offering consumers sustainable and green alternatives at each of their 20 locations.

G-OIL went through Honest-1's stringent performance tests and will be rolled out to all stores by mid-January.  G-OIL SAE 5W-30 is also the first and only bio-based motor oil to pass all the engine test criteria for The American Petroleum Institute (API) SM Certification and be officially granted the API "Donut."

G-OIL is the world's lowest petroleum, "eco-friendly," ultimate biodegradable motor oil priced comparatively to synthetics and similarly performing products.  Unlike traditional petrochemical-based motor oils from leading manufacturers, Green Earth Technologies' G-OIL is made with American-grown renewable animal fats. These saturated fats, whose molecular single-bond carbon chains are similar to common petroleum oils, have no harsh effects on the environment, and drastically cut our dependence on foreign oil.
