What is Green Oil?


Our Definition

The term "green oil" defines a lubricant that has the following attributes:

  • Made from US farm products
  • More slippery than petroleum
  • Does not adversely affect living things
  • Exceeds EPA and OECD biodegradability standards, significantly -- approaching 97%
Green Oil Company blended its first product, Greenwood chain saw oil, in 1992. At that time we knew that this product was successful, as it was well received by its customers who were seasoned foresters and tree care professionals working for New York City Parks Department, for the US Forest Service and for several hundred volunteer tree care experts on assignment from contractors who contributed their time on behalf of the Arlington National Cemetery near Washington DC.

Today we blend in addition to chain saw oil, environmentally safe hydraulic fluids including elevator oil, greases, bicycle oils and concrete form oil.
