More junk in the bottom of PP jugs...

I made no comment about any of that, you'll have to figure that out on your own. I was just commenting on the blender idea.
I've never shaken a quart of oil and I don't plan on doing it. Yeah, some additives may fall out after time, but I'm sure that there's more than enough still in suspension to last longer than any normal OCI. My vehicles have yet to complain about how their oil tastes or feels. I think some are overthinking this situation.

Well said and spoken for fact and truth
I have used Valvoline Synpower before without issue as well as EDGE 5W20 too

Virtually all dealerships turn over their bulk inventory at least a few times a year. Some as often as every couple of weeks.
The only one I sold to that didn't was a Pontiac dealer in a small town, who ran the dealership out of his house. He generally had three or four new cars. The front of the house had a small showroom and two service bays attached. The door you'd think would lead to an office or parts room went to his kitchen. He still managed to fill his 275 gallon tank at least once a year.

Solution for those too lazy to shake, is to store your oil container upside down.

Probably the 3rd time or so I've seen a review of PP complaining of crap in the bottom of the jug. Not trying to bash PP here as I actually have it in both vehicles right now but what the heck...

Hello jayjr1105, we appreciate your concern. Product quality and your satisfaction are both very important to us. What you are seeing is something that can happen naturally - a small amount of additive will sometimes settle during storage. While it happens very rarely, it is not harmful to engines and does not impact the performance of the motor oil in the bottle. Please call our Technical Information Center, 1-800-237-8645, if you have further questions.
Thank you!

I've never looked in the bottom of a jug or a bottle of oil.

Hi Gena - which additives are falling out?

Hi Gena - which additives are falling out?
So oil can fall out of suspension, you know the same oil that comes from the factory because the oil companies already know what's best, yet when there was a post about a oil additive falling out of suspension.....nothing but bashing and this why you don't use additives etc etc. But this happens to the actual oil and main reaction is nothing to see here. Lol. So I guess this would magically mix itself back together if this was In a car that sat, say a classic car, but if this happens with a additive....it certainly wouldn't, and bash that additive.
I don't care, but it's un-acceptable in both scenarios, but you can't convince me that whatever fell out of suspension of this oil would not be better suited in said oil, does not matter who says it. If that were my jug I would send that for a test to find out exactly what comes back.
