The filter is changed every other interval but the oil remains in the engine. For example, for vehicles with a 3,000 mile oil change interval, a new microGreen filter is installed every 6,000 miles but the oil is not changed until 24,000 miles (Per the chart above).\u00a0 In the end, the microGreen filter can achieve direct oil and filter change cost savings of over 65 percent\u00a0and reduce use of oil by 70 percent\u00a0for an average vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/inspiredeconom.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/gr_designfunction1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"
