Hope no one is using this oil

[Techcargt]

I try and keep up with the different kinds , brands ect of oil that people use in their vehicles , so I read a lot , and I use this site about once a month to see what they come up with . They flag oils that are not what they say they are , and I have to admit I don't recognize a lot of them , such as this one . But I know from reading , on this forum and others that a lot of people buy their oil from this place . So I will just put it out there and you can decide for yourself . The number one take away here is that this oil has a VERY high Noack Volatility ,which means a lot of it is going into the PCV system which in turn gums up the intake valves . Just my 2 cents ,,

Considering that is a 0W20, no one here should be using it in the first place.

FWIW, our trucks use 5w30 not 0w20

Their oil is actually fine. I used it for 10k on my F150 til the price went up.

I believe in keeping the planet green and saving money, I use recycled oil in my $40,000 vehicle.

Agree. Used Amazon Basic oil in our previous Subaru for several oil changes. Buy it on Prime Day for the year.

I switched to synthetic Amazon basics at 150k on my last car. It lost a compression ring on #2 before 200k. Did it cause it. Doubt it. Will I ever use that oil again. Nope.

a handful of big name oil brands make the majority of other "labels" oils for sale in the states. Id say of those store brands etc. warren makes about half of them and they pass all the tests and meet the specs like the other name brand stuff they make. I love the oil recycle folks. I think they are making a killing on something folks are literally wanting them to take from them.
as for the oil the op put up ive never seen it or heard of it - but it looks to be something on the overseas markets. if it was free in might run it in an old lawn mower or sloppy diesel lol.

That's a neat website you linked, at any rate. I hadn't seen that before. I just spent the last hour on that site looking at their numbers on oils and ATF I've used the past few years - good knowledge. Thank you for that!
