.but the reason i wouldnt use it is because i have had friends try it,with bad results.no personal experience only my one friend said he would never use it again.so yes,it is simply here-say(word of mouth)for me.
This seems to have split into two different subjects. Re-refined oil and non-detergent oil.
I'm not going to comment on the re-refined oil. I suppose if they got all the contaminants out, and put the right additives back in, it might be fine.
I will comment on the non-detergent oil that I have seen on the shelves of so many convenience stores; oil that is targeted to the people (especially uninformed women) who only buy a quart of oil when the oil light came on. I believe Caterpillar started to demand detergent oil way back in the '30s and the oil standards have only increased since then.
Would any informed BITOGer put non-detergent oil in their present day car?
