There's no way we could come out on top with this - the farm industry causes way more problems than it solves, and greenwashing bull**** like this can only make things worse for us, better for agribusiness. I am willing to elaborate, but please read up on it or watch "Farm, Inc." or something. Pushing for this oil is as foolish as pushing for ethanol. Yes, we're still getting raped by oil, but I prefer to be raped by as few industries as possible. I still have to figure out how I feel about that recycled oil... +they don't have any 0W
Thank you for noticing that... I hadn't. That means I'm not going to use them. I use 0w exclusively, which is the sole reason I even started using synthetic oils in the first place. Although I've been having trouble getting 0W20 lately...

The only way I'm gonna have a use for these oils, in that case, is in off-road equipment... most of those get whatever's cheap, and again, $7 per bottle ain't gonna cut it.
