Perhaps its time to discuss the difference between "recycled" oil and "used" oil.

Used oil is exactly what it sounds like...used...aka bad, junk, etc.

Recycled oil is entirely different. It starts as used oil, its then filtered, reprocessed, has additives added back into it, and is good to go.

Some oil facts...unless its heated to the point of coking (turning to sludge) oil does not lose its ability to lubricate. However, the extra additives that manufacturers add that do things like prevent corrosion, stabilize, etc do wear out. Once the undesirable things are filtered out and these additives are put back, recycled oil is nearly as good as new.

IMO everyone should be using synthetic oil. If your not using synthetic oil then you may as well use the recycled, the difference between recycled and new natural oil isnt enough to make a big deal about.
