About microGreen
microGreen Extended Performance Oil Filters is a technological breakthrough in engine oil filtration technology. The microGreen filter significantly reduces maintenance costs for both individual vehicles and fleets and is healthier for the environment by reducing oil consumption. The microGreen filter contains a standard filter media that captures the larger particles in the engine oil, while the patented microfilter system captures particles down to 2 microns in size, keeping the engine oil cleaner longer. This allows for oil to be changed up to every 30,000 miles versus the traditional 3,000 to 5,000-mile oil change. The microGreen oil filter has been overwhelmingly accepted by leading national and local fleets as a way to reduce costs associated with oil changes and protect the environment. The company is headquartered in Valhalla, N.Y. For more information, visit www.microGreenfilter.com.
