Comparison of Virgin Oil and Recycled Oils
Not all oils are created equal, and contrary to popular belief, recycled, or re-refined oils are not “dirty” or inferior in quality to pure, virgin or newly produced oil. Recycled, regenerated, and recycled oils are often assumed to be the same product, so we’ve outlined the differences between each type of oil and their different applications below.
Advantages & Quality of Recycled Oils VS Virgin Oils
- Enhanced water against oil oxidation and viscosity loss due to shear and oil aeration
- In addition to protecting against catalytic poisoning, particulate filter blocking, engine wear and piston deposits
- Protection against deterioration of low and fair temperature properties and increased viscosity related to sediment
- It has a high level of resistance to oxidation processes
- Cold start capability
- Control of rust corrosion and engine corrosion
- All oil components interact with each other according to well-tested circuits and increase engine smoothness and stability.
- Viscosity tests at high temperatures.
