That is a shame if its not selling. I would use it and want to use it.
Next time I cross the border I am picking up a few jugs. People need to support the green movement

That would be unfortunate. What would be more unfortunate is if Ashland were too far ahead of the curve. A lot of people are paranoid about recycled oil. Safety Kleen (or whatever it's called) sells a lot of recycled oil to fleets up here. Valvoline is pushed to the regular consumer, and I think it's a great idea. The populace may not agree with me, though.

It's not really "used"
If you look at the numbers (I've seen them somewhere) the oils are the same, nextgen and regular valvoline white bottle.
I would say you could sub one or the other in and never notice a difference. But the green bottle is 50% re-refined. It is only advantageous to use the Nextgen.

Half of nex-gen has been refined twice, therefor it should be more pure than non recycled oil.
But with how people think recycled means a lesser product, it will not fair well in the market unless it is priced below the red jugs..

here in my part of Ohio, trying to find the 5w-20 max life nextgen, has been nigh on impossible, finally found 4qts on clearance @ wally world for $4ea. I need 4.5 qts for my Neon.
If it was spec'd for 5w30 i could get it anywhere(mine is an '05, previous years were 5w30).
only sticking w/ valvoline cuz i signed up for their engine guarantee program( heck only using the maxlife, cuz i signed up for the 225k mi guarantee, where you have to use a syn-blend, and durablend disappeared 'round here.. just now hitting 70k)
