Having trouble getting 5w30 oil

[Revving2Redline]

Why would Redline Oil contaminate the big recycle bin???

I don't know either. My only guess is that they have it set to a certain temperature to recycle and burn off some of the impurities. This is only me guessing I don't know. But I take it when I used it to Walmart but I had it in a Pennzoil jug for recycling.

I think Safety Kleen, at least at one time, is or was a major contractor for the US military...

I seem to remember Eco ultra was on the contractors list too. I think they were even being sold at Walmart but they weren't using plastic quarts, they were using bags.

Pretty good gig, keep selling the same gallon of oil over and over again. Now if you could recycle beer like that...

Reselling oil over and over is about like the banks using other people's money to make money.

Ever heard of recycling? It isn't exactly the same oil over and over again - the oil does get re-refined.

Is that why Bud light tastes like.....

Factually speaking though crude oil is way more nasty than dirty motor oil.

At volume?!?
Quite possibly...

No. Not possible at all.

SK is offsetting the price with the used oil collection. Even then I’m not believing the $1.90 a gallon number at all.


SK is having a major delay getting their products out the door. Currently they’re at 6-8 week lease time for bulk orders.


Fun fact: I was at one point the second largest buyer of SK product in the US.

Truck Stops (for this kind of volumn?).
no? wrong weight...
OC centers like Jifffy, etc?

All I am told is we get it for a great price. I don’t ask questions.

It keeps you employed, paid, and should keep the company profitable.

Did I spell Safety-Kleen as Safety Clean? My bad...

Curious! Care to tell all of us how much you bought per unit of time?

Around 1m gallons / quarter.

Around 1m gallons / quarter.

Right on!

You don’t have to believe anything. I’m just stating what a big boss showed me. The Safety Kleen oil comes from a distributor about 1 hour north of my work. Or a “terminal” I should say.

I bet you can get 5w30 from somewhere but not @ that price. We pay about $11 a gallon for 10w-30 where I work delivered

For a Synthetic blend; possibly.

Also, while Afton lifted their force majeure on additives. There is still a severe back up getting them. Both trucking and rail. There is also still allocation issues to contend with.

Then there is just getting blend times and getting it trucked in.

One of my suppliers has been out of syn blend additive now for over a month. Fortunately I have enough tankage it hasn’t been a big deal. And I’ve gone to secondary suppliers.

It is pinching OEM branded PCEO availability which is getting annoying logistically.

Good to know sir. Maybe my work is special; dunno. Long as we get our contracted deliveries company don’t care

There’s probably more to the story than you are aware of. He’s just telling you what he sees from the supplier side. No need to get worked up when you are questioned - being challenged is a normal part of life.

There’s alot of things the $1.90 could be. Could be how much they credit for waste oil. Could be delivery charges. Etc.

As he said, this is the internet. I can believe - or not believe - anything I want. If SK is selling product at $1.90 a gallon, now I can see why they’re pulling out of the finished product market more and more.

But considering I have SK’s (Technically Kleen Performance Products - KPP) 9/13/22 pricing In front of me… I’ll doubt it. But it did remind me I have to order RHT100 from them.

We’ve been a SK distributor since they built their first re-refinery in Breslau. When they were called Breslube. After that they built their East Chicago refinery. But their products were blended by the Hammond lube plant. Which was dexter hawk and what is now, Cam 2.

They originally sold an AW68 that looked like mud. We had success with it in big salt mines.

Their products have come a long way. They inspired a lot of other re-refined products.

Now they almost have that market cornered.

Sir, and The_Critic: I apologize if I was arrogant or rude.

Foxtrot08: thank you for your info and insights. You are way more knowledgeable than I.

There is no taste in bud light only liquid cardboard and that's on a good day. Rather have Rolling Rock than bud light.
