Phantom 10 is an important device for anyone wanting to achieve an economic and environmental advantage in today’s demanding environment. The benefits can provide substantial economic relief, particularly for fleet managers, through extended service intervals, reductions in inventory, and superior oil maintenance, leading to healthier engine performance (which can translate to better mileage, less emissions, and lower downtime for minor or major maintenance).
The environmental argument is compelling as well. Over ½ billion oil filters are sold annually over the counter, with a reported recycling rate of a dismal five or so percent. This results in a permanent loss of millions of pounds of reusable steel and gallons of reclaimable oil. The high toxicity of used motor oil also creates clean-up and other health and environmentally related costs. In fact, just one pint of used motor oil will foul more potable water than an individual can drink in their entire lifetime! Further, the energy savings for manufacturing one reusable filter, versus producing thirty or more disposable filters per a vehicle’s life cycle can provide a tremendous boost towards our goal for energy independence, as well as the recovery of reusable steel.
