I just used valvoline to change oil in a camry today- the oil inside the bottle itself was a diffrent color also, did you guys notice this also?
 
grbr95: I wasn't referring to gtx, what I was referring to is that they all use a nearly identical additive package now...the valv ac, gtx supertech syn, and valv durablend.

Edit out nasty comments about grbr95/s attitude
 
Wow...yellow is the new green(GC) maybe?

anyhoo I changed my oil today and replaced it with 4 qts of 5W30 Havoline SL flavor...now I wish I used the Valvoline I picked up in the 5 pack box at Wally's the other day.

I think that is sort of wild it turns yellow

Terry or Molakule might know more about these different additive packages and how they might effect the color of the oil after use.


Johnny, I think gbr95 is unaware of your tenure with Pennzoil. Probably why he didn't get your "yellow" comment

"Lubrizol has taken a unique approach of meeting SM/GF4, and they hit a home run."

Unique?? like what Hinderend phenol/Di phenyl amine AO with Boron GMO as a FM.
Been done.

I have since changed my handle to "mossad", I was formerly "grbr95". Anyway, some of you thought I was losing my head, yet others are noticing this same thing. I've been using Castrol GTX now, and I notice the same thing with the GTX as well. I first noticed this with Mobil 5000 and wondered if it had to do with the sodium, and lately we've not seen any recent VOA's on Castrol GTX or Valvoline, except for a VOA on 5w/20 Castrol that indicated sodium is being used as an additive now.
Only an assumption, but I wonder if sodium as an add reacts in such a way that it creates that strange florescent yellow tinge to the oil between 2-5 hundered miles of use?
 
Way to resurrect an old thread, Buster.

Wouldn't it be nice if all the "bad press" Valvoline AC used to get on here is the reason behind them going to a superior additive package?

Whenever someone pulls up one of these old threads, I'm always reminded of all the good folks that don't post here anymore.

I'm the dQrk that posted this initially..yep..i'm on my 3rd name change with this forum..LOL... Needless to say, I love the V.
 
Yes, really. Why? Basically, I got kicked for foul language and have since washed my mouth out with soap..LOL
Yep, if you like this forum, DO NOT use foul language and you won't be kicked. Let me be an example

I like this forum a lot, so I changed my name in order to get back on and cleaned up my act, so to speak. I have no shame in admitting that. I just curse while at the computer screen instead of putting it in my posts. LOL
 
So you were banned for bad behavior and got around that by re-registering under a different name. And now you're bragging about it. Wonder how the moderators feel about this?

He's not the only one who's gotten around their ban that way. You guys must think we're a bunch of dolts if you really think we don't know when you do this. But as long as you "learned your lesson" and are not a repeat offender, we don't usually stick it to you again--unless you were banned for something more egregious than bad language.

I don't know how they feel about it, but YES, I've learned my lesson. Part of it had to do with voice my politcal views in a sarcastic way, and I can't even remember the context now. Because of being kicked; however, I still can not access this website from my brothers computer in Indiana... Go figure.. Anyone know why that would be.?
