- Oil: means crude petroleum oil and all other hydrocarbons, regardless of gravity, that are produced at the wellhead in liquid form by ordinary production methods and that are not the result of condensation of gas. See N.Y. Environmental Conservation Law 23-0101
All state and local officials shall act within their authority to encourage the use of rerefined oil. Such action shall include, but not be limited to:
1. Review of any laws, rules and regulations, ordinances or specifications which exclude the use of rerefined oil products that meet the standards as specified in the American Petroleum Institute's engine service classifications for oil products; and
2. Educating the private sectors of the economy as to the merits of rerefined oil, and the need for its use in order to reduce the drain on the nation's oil reserves and minimize the disposal of used oil in ways harmful to the environment.
