I like the concept, and I'm glad someone is mass-marketing a recycled oil, but unless it's significantly cheaper, I think it will never take off. The only people that will buy it are those who are curious about performance and the "green" freaks who will buy anything that calls itself environmentally friendly. Most people will continue to buy what they know, and that's good 'ol fresh dino juice.

I may give it a shot next time I change my truck's oil, but that's only about twice a year now.

Assuming it has the same properties as the non-recycled oil, I don't see why not.

the only + i can see is that my full synthetic gets dumped in the same container as regular dino oil
so you may get some free synth?? i don't know they can probably separate it out huh?
