Additionally , the easy-to-use system simplifies oil dispensing and allows dealers to keep service quantities of several different weights of oil available to technicians . " Environmentally , the Bag-in-a-Box design
eliminates containment and disposal issues associated with traditional drums , reducing waste and eliminating the challenge of handling drums of oil ," continued Simonelli . " The 6-gallon bag saves dealers up to 30 % compared to quart prices , providing significant financial benefits . The oil in the Bag-in-a-Box system is the same top quality product found in quart bottles , ensuring reliable performance without the need for break-in or short service intervals . “ Our new program not only offers logistical and environmental benefits but supports dealers in providing the highest quality service to their customers . Whether it ' s a conventional oil , synthetic oil , primary lube or semi-synthetic transmission oil , dealers can have it ' on tap ' for their techs and customers .”
