A friend of mine who lives in the upstairs dorm from me used to work or still does, I'm not sure? at this oil change place. It wasn't a jiffy lube kinda deal but it was something along those lines.
Actually re refined oils now days are hydro treated and are close to a GPII in quality they require no additional cost to formulate a high quality GF-4 type oil.quote:

Dave you are correct it says GF-4, i never heard of this product. I can tell you this , a lot of goverment and state fleets require that they use re-refined engine oils,this co. may say that it is re-refined when it really is virgin crud who's going to test the oil to see if they are lying. I think it would cost more in additives to get a re-refined base oil to pass these test then it would to buy virgin crude and the approriate additive package.
Wrong Valero does not take in DRAIN oil and re refine it they may run some high sulfur crude or wet salty crude but NO drain oil and drain oil is what is re refined. he may run a cat cracker but that does not with all due respect make him a formulator or blender and to say that all PCMO's on the shelf are re refined is flat out stupid how does he know what I or anyone else use?????quote:

They take on work from EVERYONE.
He has always told me that with the heavy oil crackers they have, Valero can refine or re-refine what no one else wants and then resell the product back at profit to the originator.
Flame away, but he has always maintained that most dino product on the shelf has been re-refined, including PZ.
Sorry but newer hydrotreated base stock that are re refined WILL pass and are being made today.quote:

Wrong, wrong, WRONG! Pennzoil is in no way shape or form recycled!quote:
He told me that Pennzoil is a recycled oil.
Huh? Joking, right?quote:
he hauled tanks of creosote to be used a colorant in engine oil.
