Eco green oil...your thoughts?
We just started selling re-refined used oil. I was kind of sketchy at first, we had a 2 hour long meeting yesterday on the whole process and technology on how they take used oil they pump from dealerships, train yards, etc... and run it through a re-refinery station, which takes out all the detergents, dirt and additives, which leaves just the base oil (which apparently doesnt break down). Then they add in all that other stuff again to make new ''eco-green'' oil. They said on average it take 2 barrels of crude oil to make oil for 1 oil change (given the average oil change being 4-5 quarts) because they only get about half a gallon of useable crude oil per barrel to make motor oil, the rest of that barrel is turnned into fuel. And with the the eco-green oil if they were to use a whole barrel of used oil, they could make 25 gallons or re-refined oil.
So on one had you have USA saving money from not having to buy as much crude oil from overseas...
And on the other you have the little voice in your head saying ''Hey im putting used oil back in my motor''
