America’s drivers have a new choice that brings their vehicle needs and sustainability concerns together at a competitive cost. A new motor oil made with U.S.-grown high oleic soybeans is now available across the country thanks in part to collaboration and investment of the United Soybean Board. Mike Korth, a USB director and soybean farmer from Randolph, Nebraska, says the motor oil represents a new, superior use of U.S. soybeans.

The partnership between Biosynthetic Technologies and the soybean industry is one of many partnerships fostered through USB to benefit soybean farmers and other industries, providing a sustainable, environmentally friendly ingredient for motor oil. Korth says this new market will help support soybean demand.

As a thank you, farmers can try the product now on the Biosynthetic Technologies website with a discount available through January 31, 2020.

The website is motoroil.biosynthetic.com and the code is BioTrialFarm.
