Gibbs Group Develops Biodegradable Non-Petroleum Oil; Earns Motorcycle Industry’s Dirt Rider Magazine "Best Product of 1998"
DATELINE: November 23,1998
SACRAMENTO, CA; The Gibbs Group is proud to announce that its No-Toil Motorcycle Air Filter Oil and Cleaner has been awarded off-road motorcycle Dirt Rider Maaazine's coveted Best Product of the Year, 1998. (November,1998)
No-Toil Air Filter Oil and Cleaner, developed by the Gibbs Group, consultants for Northern California-based No-Toil Industries (http@//www.notoil.com), is applied to foam air filters to keep harmful dirt and grime from getting through the air filters and into off-road vehicle engines. Motocross motorcycles and ATVs live most of their life in notoriously dirty and dusty off-pavement environments. In order to keep dust from penetrating the foam filters and ruining expensive engines, very sticky petroleum-based oils have traditionally been applied to the filter to catch the small dust particles.
No-Toil filter oil is lOO%non-petroleum. Earlier attempts to develop non-petroleum filter oils by other manufacturers have resulted in oils that 'melt' or run at high temperatures, or oils that clog the air filter. The revolutionary oil's proprietary formulation (patent pending) not only overcomes these earlier problems, it actually increases air flow and engine Performance when compared to traditional filter oils.
Best of all, No-Toil filter oil, and its proprietary filter cleaner are the first of its genre that are 100% biodegradable, not a hazardous material as other oils are classified. Dirty filters can be washed in a washing machine with No-Toil cleaner -- dirty water and biodegradable oil can be flushed down the drain. This represents an end to dangerous and environmentally harmful solvent cleaning of oil from air filters, and the start of a new industry product category: performance PLUS environmental safety.
