Don't know the answer, but back about '75, there was at least one company
trying to market a motor oil made from soybeans, which was 100% 
biodegradeable. It was about $10.00 per quart in 1975, so it's clear why
it caught on...

No disrespect to our Green Friends in Europe, but no one over there as
mentioned using any biodegradeable oil, so I can only guess that either
cost killed these oils, or, they did not offer sufficient protection to the
engine, in which case, the engine would end up polluting worse than if
it ran dino or synth.

Anybody know different?   -Doug Q
