There's a local garage chain here that I use for stuff I don't have the equipment or expertise for. I know they also offer oil service with regular dino juice, synthetic blend and full synthetic (all Valvoline). A couple of years ago they started offering ”green” (recycled) oil too. It's my understanding that it is as posited above, highly filtered and refined and then has the additives replenished.

Used oil,, many uses for that stuff,,Ive toyed with the OIl Fired heater idea for the shop, but that takes SO much oil,, I do use it when Im trying to get a fire going out back, a quart O diesel to get things going & a few splashes of oil & soon theres a Big Blaze,

During the war my dad was an aircraft electrician with a Lancaster squadron in England. England being England, they were always cold and damp in the Quonset huts. My dad made a tank that fit around the stove pipe on the coal burning stove in the hut and used a spigot to drip used aircraft motor oil onto some oven bricks in the stove.
He could get the stove red hot.

Posts: 5207 Rosemark TN Gender:	Re: new oil war Reply #19 - 10/14/12 at 10:30:27 I use recycled oil in my farm truck... 1969 Dodge D100 with a 318. Works great, change the oil in the bikes, Subaru or Ranger, use it to top off the Dodge. Which drips it on the weeds in the farm roads. And kills them. Win Win, save money on oil for the full sized truck, don't have to buy round-up!

Re Refined oil was also quite popular in New Zealand Boofer, some large bus fleets used it exclusively as did many private motorists. I'm not sure about motor cyclists, but it would have probably served the 1950's and early 'sixties British bikes ok. It was avadable in a sereis of mono grades and BP made a multigrade in the éighties. All our used recovered oil is now burnt in an oil fired power station.

I should have been clear. My friends and I didn't use it in our motorcycles. We went big and used straight 30w Valvoline in our motorcycles.
