Valvoline next gen is under spec oil...? found this article on Valvoline next gen recycled oil its under specs from PQIA that tested it. http://www.pqiamerica.com/Nov2013/Valvolinenextgen.htm |
Re: Valvoline next gen is under spec oil...? It's recycled oil. I don't think I would use it in something I care about. I guess you can add Valvoline to the rather surprising list of oil bottlers that use misleading wording to trick the consumer into thinking it meets the specs stated. "Meets and exceeds specs!" Maybe some, but certainly not all of them. |

I use Pennzoil Platinum in the civic thank goodness for that. :tup: |
Re: Valvoline next gen is under spec oil...? but if it were Wallmart house brand recycled oil I can understand. Valvoline has some good oil. Recycled apparently is not one of them. Look at the list of oil makers that are now licensed to use the "dexos1" specification name for GM, Valvoline has a few of their products in it. http://www.centerforqa.com/gm/dexos1-brands Also read about the dexos spec http://www.centerforqa.com/gm/about-dexos I use Pennzoil Platinum in the civic thank goodness for that. |
Re: Valvoline next gen is under spec oil...? Also, is this PQIA trustworthy? (I personally have not heard of them before.) Have their findings on this oil been confirmed by other independent sources? |
Re: Valvoline next gen is under spec oil...? Recycled ? :eek: Most shops dump everything but the kitchen sink into that drain pan. |
