The $1/quart clearance is over at my AZ. Just checked, all Valvoline White Bottle in the former Nextgen racks, and some MaxLife left, although not much. What about yours?
turtlevette said:We won't buy the stuff because we know the kind of garbage we return as used oil. In the Q&A they wouldn't tell us where they get the used oil. What if some used transformer oil gets in the mix that's laced with PCB's.
You can't refine that stuff out. I won't take a chance even at $1 a quart or even free for that matter.
Exactly what can't be refined out exactly? And please provide a link or some form of data backing up your position.
Antifreeze and common contaminants can be removed. Why can't pcb's be removed.
And why exactly would transformer oil be mixed in with used engine oil from a typical shop. I doubt very much that transformer oil would have any channel into the chain as far as picking up oil from auto shops for recycling.
How many auto repair/oil change facilities do you know of that work on transformers as well?
Your entire argument is absurd. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. I feel the system has failed here. Let's hope there are only a few that have slipped though the cracks and that we can help educate them and show them the way,recycling oil doesn't mean pouring it down the well in the hopes the ground will filter it and it will find its way back to the oil patch.
Advancing technology means a refinery can break it down into its basic parts,and remove impurities as well as contaminants.
Nothing you put into that used oil drum at your ahem "shop" can be any worse than what it comes out of the ground with.
Educate yourself then come on back with a rebuttal. I'm all ears
