Valvoline introduces recycled 15W-40 products

Valvoline introduced two new oils made from 50% recycled oil: NextGen Premium Blue SAE 15W-40 and NextGen All Fleet Plus SAE 15W-40. According to Valvoline, the NextGen motor oils exceed industry specifications because used oil have fewer contaminants and contain more usable molecules than crude oil, which results in a higher quality base oil. “The extreme conditions and on-the-go demands of heavy-duty equipment require a motor oil that can withstand that intensity and perform again and again,” explained Peter Thomson, Valvoline director of commercial & industrial marketing. “Valvoline NextGen lubricants deliver that performance with the same quality and dependability of our conventional motor oils.” (November 1, 2011)
