Scary stuff as usual, no additives and a KV100 of 2.4 cSt

 

[Xrs2zz]

OMG!

 

[901Memphis]

Also just noticed that the one product the Super XXX Platinum carries an actual API SM resource conserving seal when in fact it's just as dangerous as the other two! Making it even harder for consumers when you can teach them about api seals then companies will just slap it on any bathtub swill anyway

Doesn't surprise me. Chicago seems to have a Family Dollar or Dollar General on every corner in the inner city. I think most people who shop there for oil are just topping up their oil burners.

 

[EdwardC]

Wow. I bet my used oil measures better than that stuff!

Illinois needs shut these guys down immediately and pull this [censored] off the shelves. I'm thinking jail time in order for the owners of Orion and Chi Town.... Not going to call them 'lubricants' used in their names for obvious reasons. How do these guys live with themselves. Con men. Thanks Tom.

The API Service Symbol (Donut) is trademarked and the API is fast to pursue violators. They have filed suit against several manufacturers for brands exposed by PQIA in the past few years. I'm sure they will be on this one soon. Tom NJ

53.4% NOACK & 107 silicon? Watery sand, not oil-you guys need to sic the API on those clowns quick!

It is good that the poor oils are not oils from the major companies.

Probably 100X better. Silicon at 3000 ppm! VOA TBN's at <.01. It's already worn out when "new!" Not even good for your sewing machine.

Good work.

Great Work Tom NJ. Incredible...

FYI, DG sells a store brand oil labeled honestly as meeting API SF. They don't sell any of the awful stuff referenced in the thread opener.

any day of the week I would choose the used oil from anyone on here over those oils!

 

[aquariuscsm]

The names of all those bad oils are always so goofy haha!

 

[Vern_in_IL]

I think these are like those oils you find at gas stations, unknown brands that are only used in emergencies, even BAD oil is better than NO oil!!!

 

[Chris142]

That's more like a grinding compound

I wouldn't put that oil in an engine that was 2 or 3 quarts low.
