Oil change

[EDM95]

So I went and got an oil change for my van and when I got home I was looking at
the paper and it said 4 1/2 qts used oil and new filter. WTF man I paid $30 for used oil.
I looked at the oil it looks clean to me. Did I just get ripped off?

Used oil? Did you read it wrong, and it said "Used 4 1/2 quarts".

 

[tunethis]

Yeah, it probably is a typo. If it were used, I don't think they would mention it. If you are in doubt, just give them a call or stop by the shop.

 

[EDM95]

Ahh it is a typo.
4.5 quarts of oil used.
I would of done it myself but I don't like to work on my van
and also it is very windy out side oil will get all over my face.

It really isn't funny.... a lot of guys don't know this but a lot of these shops use "recycled oil".... they take the used oil that they get from oil changes, clean it up, add some additives, and sell it back to you the customer as "bulk oil".... they do the same thing with coolant/antifreeze... there is a possibilty that they could have put "used" or recycled oil in your truck..... just some food for thought guys.....

I don't see how any shop could "clean up" their own used oil to a degree that it could pass for new oil. At my shop, the old oil is pumped to a tank and the Saf-T-Kleen man comes around about every two weeks to pick it up for proper recycling. We do get "bulk oil" but that only denotes that instead of coming from a bottle, it's coming from a large tank in the back. Ours happens to be made by Pennzoil.

If you know of any shops that recycle their own used oil, then you should be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau, as well as the government, as I'm sure there are some environmental laws prohibiting that activity.

Shredwins right plus it only takes like 20 minutes. So you wont have to wait an hour at a shop waiting for it to be done.

It's not just filtered in house and re-sold.

They have to send it out to be recycled. The process is a complete reversal of the original process, and then it's refined again. There's alot of work involved, and the final product is just as good as the stuff you bought to do your last oil change. There was a detailed explanation of the process on Modern Marvels on The History Channel about 2-3 weeks ago.

At least you got something to beat on instead of your DSM.... yeah and I bet its hard to work in that engine bay since you barely have any room

Funny thing, if I get in and drive another car and try to drive my car, my car will run like crap for a few days. DSM's are literally like that psycho girlfriend you can't stand at times, but gives really great sex so you can't seem to get rid of her.
