So far, I've heard of Raytheon's and Shell's techniques. How many dollars per barrel can the best process yield. We have 2 trillion barrels of oil in Colorado. While I am all for alternative energy and love the environment, I believe our country will enter a crisis in a very few years if we don't find a solution.What is the latest/best technology in extracting oil from oilshale?
I personally think that this company has a good process. Some are trying to do the oil extraction below ground without mining it. The potential problem is that if they get only 50% of the oil, there may never be a way to recover the remaining 50%. In gold mining, there are a number of small operators in Colorado and Arizona who are mining the tailings (scrap after the easy gold is removed) and making money doing it.

There are 6 or so tabs at the top describing the company and its processes. Click on them and learn more. I particularly like the news movie at:

I hope this helps.What is the latest/best technology in extracting oil from oilshale?
You got it, shell has the best and most advanced technique right now. We will never mine it, unless you want to turn colorado, wyoming and utah into a huge open-pit mine. Shell extracts the oil ';in-situ'; with minimal impact to the environment. I see a few problems with this process including the tremendous amount of power this process requires. Large power plants (probably coal) would need to be built to supply power. Additionally, it would take a couple of years after startup before oil is even removed from the shale. I think this may be a viable process one day, but not for at least 20 years. Believe it or not, oil is STILL to cheap.

Where can I find a company that does oil to gas conversion estimates?
Looking to do this sooner than later.Where can I find a company that does oil to gas conversion estimates?
Any HVAC company or Even a good plumbing contractor will be able to help you with this issue.Where can I find a company that does oil to gas conversion estimates?
I assume you mean heating system . . .
If you have a very old furnace, it might be possible, but if you have a ';newer'; furnace (like, less than 75 years old) you don't simply ';convert it';. Too many issues, heat exchanger, flow rate, flu size, etc, etc, etc. You'll have to replace it. Any local HVAC contractor will do it, be prepared for sticker shock
Heating companies can do this. It usually doesn't cost too much to get an estimate and the whole job is worth it.
Try contact Browns Heating and Cooling if you are in the NJ area.
Another company to look for in NJ is Total Comfort Mechanical.

How often do you need to change the oil in a car?
My dad, who bought a new Saab 900 in 1994, claims he's never had to change the oil. I imagine it's been done a few times at services/MOTs, but is this normal? I'd have guessed it's best to change every 6 months?How often do you need to change the oil in a car?
3000 miles or every 3 months..haven't you ever seen a jiffy lube ad????How often do you need to change the oil in a car?
Every 3000 miles or 3 months, whichever comes first.
I change the oil in mine every 6-7000 miles. Assumming your dad never goes anywhere.. I would still say he's pushing his luck!
I would say every 6mths change oil and filter got to do both at same time car will run very good for a lot of years
U should change the oil every 3000 miles to 4000 miles to be on the safe side.
It depends a lot on what kind of driving you do. The more city driving and stop-and-go traffic, the more often you need to change.
I'd say check every month or every 1,000 miles. If the oil is very dark brown (burnt chocolate) or black, change it. Also check its texture. If it feels gritty, get your car to the shop, pronto.
what your dad says may be true, when he purchased the car it may have come with a life time oil change, he most likely
takes it in every 5000-7500 miles for a change, some of the synthetic oils say you can get up to 15000 between oil changes. hope this answers your question
As often as the manufacturer recommends, depending on the type of use the vehicle gets. Typically for harder driving that would be every 3,000 miles or every 3 months, whichever occurs first.. No, it's not normal and was probably done every time it went in for routine service, since it would void the warranty if it wasn't done.
Depends on your driving,
I'll say every 6000 miles,
but you need to check regular.
Yes your right, 6 months or 6,000 miles is the norm..
not changing oil will cause premature failure of the engine unit as the oil filter becomes clogged and can't filter harmful metal particals away which in turn damaged bearing surfaces etc...ps, when selling the car dont brag about the lack of oil changes!
Every 10,000mi for a petrol engine and about 6000mi for a diesel is standard.
every 3000-5000 miles
Manufacturers recommend every 7500miles for normal driving and every 3000 miles for severe service. Most people's driving habits fall into the second recommendation. But, depending on the oil used, there are other possibilities. For example, I used synthetic oil from day one on a 1997 Dodge Avenger. I changed the oil about once a year. The transmission just went up, but the engine was in great shape. I had 290,000 miles on it.
When ever the light comes on
every 3000 miles. i think.
it should be 3,000 miles or every 3 months, if the car has gone a long time without reg oil chenges,then u should have an oil flush done
every 3,000 miles or every 3 months
Every 6 months or 3000 to 5000 miles, depend on the car. Lexus/toyota do every 5000 miles. Other car companys do 3000. I personally do mine every 3000 miles. Oil is like the blood for your motor. When you run out or when it gets to dirty is when stuff starts to break down and fail
I change it every three thousand miles . I know most if not all manufactures state every five thousand miles I have worked on vehicles both Fleet and Personal vehicles I find that they last longer with more frequent oil changes .
i dont know. i would change oil, it is carbon based. it does breakdown in time. take a guess to what? carbon. try running an engine on that
most manufacturers recommend 3000 mi.or 3 months.however if the cars not driven frequantly or is driven mostly on the highway you could probably go to 4 or 5000.also if u use synthetic oil you can go longer.
5000km(3000 miles) oil and filter conventional oil.5000km(3000miles)filter10 thousand kms. oil and filter synthetic oil.Synthetic oil is great for engines that are broken -in.
Your Dad has been lucky. Saab's will run forever if properly maintained, but they (and other manufactures) have issues with oil sludging which clogs the oil pick up screen, starving the engine of necessary lubrication and ultimately causing engine failure.... It should be changed at or before 5K miles using a quality oil and renew the filter (actually the most important part) at each change.
6 months / 12 months - depends on what mileage you do
every 6 months or every 6000 miles is the best time to change it
I would definitely get it checked on a regular basis of 3-4 months- I learned that the hard way and ruined my engine in the process
Realistically, every 5,000 miles is fine. In recent years, automotive, oil change, and oil supply companies have pushed for every 3,000 - 3,500 miles. If the car is driven infrequently, the oil should be changed every 6 months.

Can I substitute a flavored apple sauce for oil in brownies?
Ok so I am craving brownies and happen to have a box mix on hand. I want to use it up but have NO OIL!!! I have subbed applesauce before but I only have pomegranate-flavored applesauce on hand. Do you think that you would be able to taste that in the brownies? Or do you think I would be ok here?Can I substitute a flavored apple sauce for oil in brownies?
Applesauce is commonly used as a substitute for oil in many recipes to lower fat content. I think it will come out ok. Maybe the pomegranate will give it a nice flavor.Can I substitute a flavored apple sauce for oil in brownies?
You need to know the chemical reaction in the process of baking. Apple sauce and oil have virtually no properties (for the purpose of baking) in common.
Use butter or margarine (same amounts as oil that is called for).
Applesauce will work, but it will make the brownies more cake like. You can use margerine or butter.

Does anybody know a store that carries simmering oil (home fragrance) that is comparable to Claire Burke?
I am looking for an online store that carries simmering oil (which is like liquid potpourri) that is comparable to Claire Burkes Christmas Memories. They no longer carry this fragrance in simmering oil and I need it desperately.
If you could please name a brand similiar to Clair Burke instead, that would be helpful as well.Does anybody know a store that carries simmering oil (home fragrance) that is comparable to Claire Burke?

What are the proportions of oil and turpentine to use for oil painting media ?
There is many combinations and they depend on what effect you want. There is a rule fat over lean.. So when you start your painting use more turpentine and as you progress you can use more oil. I like to use about 2 parts of oil to turpentine, but I adjust to needs. With experience you will find the mixture that fits you the most.What are the proportions of oil and turpentine to use for oil painting media ?
there are many combinations. 1 part linseed or stand oil and 3 parts turpentine is a good one.
there is also 1 part linseed, 1 part darmar varnish and 1 part turpentine is another.
try both and choose your preference.What are the proportions of oil and turpentine to use for oil painting media ?
experiment
Not.
Don't mix oil and turpentine to make medium. Use ready made medium.

How to clean stubborn cooking oil stains from oil cover?
Any suggestions on how to remove the stubborn oil stains on the oil covers (the metalish cover u place on top of pan when cooking to avoid spluttering all around). I've tried soaking in hot soapy water over night and still no change...How to clean stubborn cooking oil stains from oil cover?
Run them through a dishwasher.=)How to clean stubborn cooking oil stains from oil cover?
I do not like to advertise brand names usually, but to me, Cif lemon spray is the best thing sliced bread!
When I moved in to my flat the previous tennant obviously liked to fry - and not clean! The kitchen door was covered in old fat, and all the surfaces too.
I started with sugar soap but that did not do it. In frustration I picked Cif up and it cut through with no effort. Half a door took 3 days of scrubbing and rubbing and washing etc.
The second half with Cif took minutes!
The metallic cover is called a splatter platter!
Wow, they must be some pretty intense stains.
You many need a heavy duty cleaner to remove these stains. Try this http://frigidaire.stores.yahoo.net/16sts… . It's designed for stainless steel appliances, but I think if you spray and let sit, this cleaner (which is non-toxic) will do a better job of breaking down those stains.
If that works, you may want to take measures to protect the shine. This polish http://frigidaire.stores.yahoo.net/nonam… will help maintain the look and shine of all your steel pots and pans.
I hope this helped and good luck!
Dampen it with water, then sprinkle baking soda on it and wipe it off with a sponge soaked in vinegar. You can add more vinegar as needed.
Try using ';Jif '; %26amp; scrub on it. I find it very useful, use it to remove anything oily %26amp; dirty.
noxon or an y other metal polish should do it. you can also use oven cleaner, but i don't think it'll restore the shine.
