Not sure about Canada, but apparently Walmart's Super Tech conventional/blend has re-refined in it, and if Safety-Kleen is available, they actually re-refine their base stocks. I don't really have an issue with it, have used a fair amount of Valvoline NextGen, both synblend & synthetic, as long as it's not a higher price. As long as it's all recycled into something!Hi folks!
Im curious about this.
Any available off the shelf in Canada? They seem to have gone over like a lead balloon.
Its a shame
I remember that PQIA gave Valvoline NextGen 5w20 a 'caution' due to it's NOACK being too high (IIRC it was 18).Thanks guys,
Yeah, I totally feel the hesitation. I trust the API stamp, and wouldnt mind running a UOA just to say I did. I actually reached out to Safety Kleen to see if they had distributors in Canada. Too bad Valvoline Next Gen wasnt still around
Please see:Bit of a shame, but no one likes the idea of putting someone else’s ”worn out” oil into their high dollar ride. And just what is the savings? It can’t be cheap to re-refine used oil that is going into a recycling place, with fuel dilution, soot, moisture, a quarts taken to the chunky stage, and stuff that isn’t even oil.
Seems like other methods of reusing might make more sense, in particular simply using as a heating source.
