It seems to me that starting with used motor oil should certainly be no more difficult mfg. wise than is starting with crude oil pumped from the ground.
Considering the potential environmental advantages, why don't we see more high quality rerefined motor oil being marketed? The value of a "Green" marketing campaign would seem to be potentially significant.
For 99% of the public, motor oil is a commodity like cows milk. Why doesn't one of the major oil companies make a big splash about how it is demonstrating it's commitment to the environment with a line of high quality rerefined motor oils?
"Castrol Green 10W-30" ? "Pennzoil Planet Friendly 15w-40" ?
