In 2010 I got bored building homes for the super wealthy and went to trade school for renewable energy I thought I was going to switch careers to wind. It was plainly clear to me that it was not a long term option for a career. A big part of that industry was changing transmission fluid in these massive drivetrains and recycling it. I started thinking about how much oil it was taking to keep these things running realized it was not sustainable from just that aspect. Ever seen one catch on fire? They burn like crazy, that's the trans fluid. My professor once said the modern fluid they used was inadequate for the application and who ever invented a dedicated fluid that worked better was going to be rich. And as for the used oils recycling it at that time was selling it to China they burnt it in open air smelters to melt all our aluminum we put in "recycling bins"
