SAE30 ND used in mower with oil filter

Reclaimed out of a car you know isn’t too harsh on oil is great for stuff you don’t care about (like the flathead I keep talking about)

Every body talks about "RECLAIMED OIL", in the old days 60's 70's, reclaimed oil was clean and new looking, I always thought it was run through the distillation process and additives added to the product.

This oil everyone calls reclaimed is just plain old Not Reclaimed, USED MOTOR OIL.

In the old days it was just filtered. A long time ago someone posted a great article on here about that but I think it is gone now. The article noted that they would often dye the filtered oil to cover up the color.

The only way that would ever work, is for the out fit doing that, to test and make sure its just the certain weight motor oil, and not mixed with gear oil or hydraulic oil, that would never work. They would have to centrifuge it, and use some very good filters, hmmm franz?
But still no way to know what the oil is.

If it comes out of your machines then you know where it came from. Fram synthetic endurance appears to filter well down to less than 10 microns.
If it's going in a neglected mower with event horizon black oil to be used as flush old for an hour or less what's it going to hurt?

The out fit that sells the "redone" oil will not know what machines it came from, thats in the huge tank that it all is poured into.
This is what I'm talking about not a DIY guy.

This remanufactured oil was popular in the old days, especially for broke kids that had old junkers like my friends.
