It is an high quality base oil that is all I care about.
Nextgen comprised of synthetic oil too?

They refine the used oil just like crude. Keep this in mind, crude has more [censored] in it then used motor oil.

Actually, they can claim this, as its my understanding ashland claims that the next gen (recycled oil) is ran thru the same re-fining process as crude oil. And assuming this is true, it is a very logical claim. With that said, this oil (next gen) is very clean/clearish to pour. So far, im impressed.

Their claim "better than new oil" is based solely on the "green" aspect and is not a performance claim. That was my point.

I dumped antifreeze and all kind of fluid exchange into the recycle bin. Do you get coolant in Nextgen?

When you watch the Valvoline videos on the product it also seems they call it better than new oil because of the additives. They say Valvoline is above API standards, therefore, NextGen is better than new oil that only "met" API ratings rather than exceeded them.
There are several ways they can claim it is "better" I guess. ha-ha.

Id take your antifreeze over dinasour guts. lol

For me, the big question would be "How can they produce a consistent product?", because they are probably getting an inconsistent mixture of used oil from each batch, all with different base stocks.

wow that's something to be proud of, its so tough to properly dispose of rather than screwing the people you give the wrong product to. They actually get penalized if there is too much antifreeze in it.

The sad thing is, I know guys thinking they are doing the right thing by tossing brake fluid (glycol based as well), 1-1-1 trichloroethane, gasoline and other hydrocarbon solvents in there (okay 1-1-1 is polar), but as others have said, it is re-refined. Sure there might be some old redline in there, but there is also ATF, tractor hydro fluids, gear lube and possibly an assortment of zero add pack oils too, but the end result is a good oil.

If you drive a GM V-6 you probably have anti freeze in your oil already.

The place of business receiving your oil still gets penalized if there is too high of a glycol content. Seems like pouring it in a ditch to send it to the wrong place because its just to hard too properly dispose of.
Its one thing if you have some getting in by accident IE contaminated oil as tig said. There is always some, but to maliciously dispense it is just wrong.

The correct way to dump antifreeze is to dump it in the toilet, most municipal system can break down the glycol.

Well even if that is true it leaves me out. I`m on an old Cesspool.

I'm sure it must be comprised of what ever brand and viscosity possible. All they need to do is do their own factory re-refinment process and put back the additives that were lost and re-sell it.
