I have been thinking about running NextGen,although it is a bit more expensive (at least in my neck of the woods) than straight conventional.
I came across this website, which says that there is no need to recycle oil, as there is already more than enough base stock (for motor oil) that is produced by the refining process, that cannot be used for anything else. The article is here.
Is this true or not? I don't see sources linked to on the page.
It also says that much used oil is burnt for electricity. It seems like that is a legitimate use of used oil. Is this used oil any dirtier than the oil used to power electric plants normally? I would suspect that these oil fired plants use a lot more oil than just what is recycled from motor oil.
