So today while picking out my next oil for my oil change, I was looking a Pennzoil platinum, the new stuff they have and a customer looked at me and said don't use Pennzoil, its all made from recycled motor oil. I am 99% that isn't true. Does anyone know? I hear PP is a fantastic oil so..

The base oils for PP and PUP are from natural gas...nowhere near being recycled oil.

Which is a completely different brand and producer/blender. Pennzoil is a SOPUS brand whereas Valvoline is Ashland.

That would be Valvoline NextGen. Pennzoil makes great oils, no doubt.

Funny how he probably got this mixed up with Nextgen when the Pureplus base oils are the furthest from recycled you can get on the shelf.
Faith in humanity LOST!
What's wrong with re-cycled oil?
Valvoline NexGen HM and dino are some very good oils. I've not heard or read of a single engine failure, oil related, with the consumer using 50% re-cycled oil from Valvoline.
In fact, since it's refined twice, most likely a lot of the base stock of the recycled oil is used synthetic oils.

While I'm no fan of Walmart, they have no exclusive claim to stupid customers. If you've read many threads here at BITOG, you know there have been many a similar story. And they happen at Autozone, and at O'Reilly, and CarQuest. And yes, even NAPA.
Seems that those back of the garage stories that start with "my uncle's co-worker's little brother, who is an ASE certified machanic, says . . .", have no particular preference for where they shop.
