SOMS Technologies L.L.C., the Valhalla-based provider of engine oil filtration products, has extended its line of microGreen oil filters to major European and Asian automotive brands.
The patented SOMS product has two filters in one standard spin-on canister and a particle-capturing microfilter system that allows vehicles to operate up to 30,000 miles without an oil change, reducing motor oil use by 70 percent, filter use by 50 percent and cutting oil maintenance costs by 65 percent.
The cost-saving, environmentally efficient filters now can be used on Audi, Honda, Infinity, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Range Rover, Toyota and Volkswagen vehicles. Company officials said the product expansion was due to strong demand from businesses for their vehicular fleets and consumers too.
“If every vehicle in the U.S. were to convert to the microGreen filter, we could reduce annual motor oil use by 420 million gallons,” said Miles Flamenbaum, CEO of SOMS Technologies. “With today”™s expansion covering European and Asian vehicle models, we are one step closer to achieving that goal.”
The Valhalla company also recently expanded into the Canadian market.
