I only run synthetic. I would use recycled if I were just driving an old beater though.
|
I would expect synthetic users to be even less likely to consider recycled.

I think the only people that are going to use recycled oil are people with lke someone above said beater cars or environmentalists/people wanting to go green. I also dont like the idea too much and i'll just stick with normal oil for now.

I think a lot of people have a negative look on recycled oil just becasue at one time, you could buy it in glass quarts at convient stores and ti was literally just something that came out of another car at some point...
The thing is, the additives wear out of the oil, and contaminants get in it. Filter the contaminants out, and re blend the additives, and you've got oil again. Same thing. Everyone just thinks it's used oil and therefore not as good. If someone came out with some recycled synthetic, I'd be likely to use it. If I was a conventional guy, I'd pour Valvoline NextGen in my car, change it at 3-5000 miles, and not put much more thought into it. |
I looked at the price, it was the same as "new oil". If the stuff was like half the price I would definitely run it in the Camaro.

Pretty much everyones in agreement then. lol.
Like I said I'm not too keen on it either. Might as well vacuum out my air filter instead of buying a new one too. I give them props for throwing it out there but I don't see it as something that people are going to jump on. |

I vacuum my cabin filter and blow it out with the air hose. It lasts a while longer.

By your sig, it says you have a K&N, so yeah... you would clean it instead of buying a new one :rotfl:
Shh, we are assuming that it's stock.:rolleyes: Good call though. But imagine trying it with the oil filter....:wtf: Messy for sure. |
