Hello everyone from UNO in a computer lab
A friend of mine who lives in the upstairs dorm from me used to work or still does, I'm not sure? at this oil change place. It wasn't a jiffy lube kinda deal but it was something along those lines.
Anyway, him and I got into the topic of dicussing engine oil, viscosity etc... He told me that Pennzoil is a recycled oil. I ask him how? He tells me because it's a cheaper oil with fresh additives in it and it's a darker oil not as clear as opposed to new oil. He has a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 4.0 in it and he is using Vavoline Maxlife 10w40 in it currently. He uses this because it is for HM vehicles from what I saw of the bottle and his fingertips, it looked pretty clear. He also claims to me that why do you think some oil companies sell there oil for so cheap? They basically take used oil, refine it from all the used tranny fluid, used coolant, etc.. and put there own fresh additives in it. This is also the way some other GroupIII synthetics are. Refined used oil with the companies own synthetic additives.
He also claims that using recycled oil is ok for your car but not the best choice in the world? Is he full of it or is this true? Thanks,,,,,,AR
