FAQs

Every year over 6 billion litres of waste oil are produced from the internal combustion engine, Circuloil offers a technology that will allow this oil to be collected and recycled.

Today, around 70% of used oil is collected but only about a third is re-refined, the rest is either lost to the environment or more often turned into Fuel Processing Oil (FPO) and burned

 Re-refining used (waste) oil is over 50% - 80% less energy intensive than refining crude oil extracted from the ground.  In addition, the environmental benefit from segregated collection in our sealed cartridges will reduce ground pollution from unregulated disposal of waste oil.  

 Yes, the product and application has been patented by CirculOil. 

 Oil cartridges slot in and out quickly, changing oil & filter in one easy step taking about 90 seconds. This can be done anywhere by anyone so significantly reduces machine down time.   

 Yes, however we have designed the system to require the minimum changes to the machine, and can be carried out in a couple of hours.  

 The RRP is £400 for the system installation, and £75 per oil change (includes delivery of new cartridge and collection of old one)  

 A full change of oil and an oil filter, chosen specifically to work with the particular engine. The cartridge also includes some additional oil volume for top up between changes  

 Yes. The intention is that oil cartridges will be made widely available just like other service parts for dealer and distributors to use and sell.  

 During the service, the oil pump will transfer all of the engine oil from the sump pan, to the oil cartridge. This will ensure that the maximum amount of oil is collected and that the new service starts with fully fresh oil.  

 The CirculOil system does not change the service interval, and should be carried out in accordance with the OEM recommendations  

 The oil is re-refined into high quality engine oil and the cartridge is carefully reconditioned and used again.
