I bought 6 quarts of this for my son’s Jetta. Anyone else using this? A search didn’t find a single hit here…
Anyone using JTP oils?

It's not in the API directory.

They use "crystal clear" base stocks (recycled motor oil)

I'm with everybody else on this one. If I were you I would cancel the order or return this when you get it, and get any name-brand synthetic instead. Why mess around with this when Mobil 1 and Castrol Edge Euro are a couple dollars cheaper?
They do have some oils listed as using rerefined oil, but not this line… meets specs for VW and other European manufacturers.
It's not on the current(08/08/2024) Mercedes Approval list for 229.3 or 229.5 either.

Doesn't this company supply the military in some capacity?

Not sure, but they do have a cage code.
I've not heard of them. Interesting mix of services.
I found this quote also interesting and my quip below is not an attack on the oil in any way.
"2.5 quarts of lube oil can be produced from one gallon of used oil."
Well, that's because there are a lot of Honda 1.5T engines out there!
Sorry, carry on. Couldn't resist.

That's reassuring?? In the Army I saw plenty of motors blow up, or catch on fire.
So what. My work uses Safety Kleen oil and it’s rerefined motor oil.
That statement is next to meaningless.
And does it have an API license?

will never catch me running re-refined oil. especially when name brand oils are as cheap as they are off the walmart shelf.
Dude used it according to his post in the recent oil change thread… full ahead, aye.
Yes, I did use it as planned. I have zero concerns about using this oil in this application. It’s not rerefined as some have seemingly suggested. The company does have a line of rerefined oils , but this is not one of them…
When I poured it into the engine,
It looked like oil…
It smelled like oil…
I probably should have tasted it too…
Perhaps I’ll do an oil analysis at the end of the oci next year.

After every substantive post in the thread advises not to do so.
Safety Kleen does yes. Search here and you shall se my PDS I shared from their site.
You’re welcome
