Ends today. Advance Auto Parts has the Valvoline NextGen 5W-30 Conventional Motor Oil 5.1 Quarts (also 10W-30 weight) for $20 - $20 rebate [Exp 8/29] (code AAP-10017) = $0 with free in-store pickup only.
So #3, a company like Valvoline would sell a main stream product and because it's "used", your car will blow-up? I've got news for you - most of the oil you buy is either entirely, or mostly, "used". It's collected, refined, and sold.
#4 and #6, that was a comment (a comment to a review) posted on Amazon (following the link #2 posted) regarding this oil that I found humorous. You could have known this if you were able to see the title of the message. Unfortunately, Ben has this BBS setup that when you read messages from the front end listing web page, you don't see the title (and if you read in the forum, you don't have access it price history, etc). I'd suggest reading messages in the forums until Ben get his configuration figured out. It's quite disjointed as it stands now, but if that how he likes, that's Oaky Doky with me...
As usual, it seems that there are people who believe that refined motor oil that has been used in an engine for 5000 mi. is dirtier than the filthy crude stock pumped out of the ground. I would prefer the former for a refinery base. Yes, I realize that different refining techniques are required, but the chemistry is well worked out.
Good deal... Cant say no to frree stuff
Mixed reviews on amazon..

shop grunt says:
only an i-diot would buy used oil.
Strong words #3. My brother has a 50 gallon drum of break in period oil which he has used in his Isuzu pup for years. Runs perfect.
I would think "conventional" and "Nextgen" are two descriptions that do not go together.

Free stuff is always good, but rebate is the worst

I'll stick with my French Synthetic oil.
It's oil. Looks like new oil, works like new oil, and tastes like new oil.
