I'm Matt in 28 I don't really understand
00:00:08.190 00:00:08.200 what happens to used oil as far as I
00:00:10.170 00:00:10.180 know once it's drained it's burned to be
00:00:12.570 00:00:12.580 honest I don't really know what you
00:00:13.500 00:00:13.510 could do with used oil I'm Roger 24
00:00:15.420 00:00:15.430 years old I change my own oil but I
00:00:17.849 00:00:17.859 really don't know what you're supposed
00:00:18.480 00:00:18.490 to do with it after it's drained I
00:00:19.950 00:00:19.960 always figured it was trash this is
00:00:22.560 00:00:22.570 typically where the motor oil life cycle
00:00:24.599 00:00:24.609 ends but it doesn't have to instead it
00:00:27.239 00:00:27.249 can be where oil recycling begins the
00:00:29.759 00:00:29.769 big surprise to most people is realizing
00:00:32.280 00:00:32.290 just what antastic
00:00:33.360 00:00:33.370 used oil still is and what exactly it
00:00:35.880 00:00:35.890 can be turned into the makeup of most
00:00:37.770 00:00:37.780 motor oils is essentially 85% or and 15%
00:00:41.850 00:00:41.860 additives the big myth is that the oil
00:00:44.400 00:00:44.410 pot breaks down inside the engine the
00:00:47.490 00:00:47.500 truth is that very few of the actual oil
00:00:49.920 00:00:49.930 molecules break down it's really the
00:00:52.470 00:00:52.480 additives that wear out which they do by
00:00:54.720 00:00:54.730 design as contaminants build up the vast
00:00:58.140 00:00:58.150 majority of the oil molecules don't
00:00:59.880 00:00:59.890 worry out at all they simply need to be
00:01:02.190 00:01:02.200 clean and re refined so if we separate
00:01:04.950 00:01:04.960 the additives and contaminants from the
00:01:06.719 00:01:06.729 still good base oil we can reuse it to
00:01:09.060 00:01:09.070 make high quality oil that's exactly
00:01:11.760 00:01:11.770 what today's modern re refining
00:01:13.469 00:01:13.479 processes do remove the contaminants and
00:01:16.289 00:01:16.299 broken-down additives to create base
00:01:18.330 00:01:18.340 oils that are as good as the day they
00:01:19.980 00:01:19.990 were first refined in the past we
00:01:22.109 00:01:22.119 weren't able to get high enough quality
00:01:23.609 00:01:23.619 refined base oils to meet foundlings
00:01:26.370 00:01:26.380 exacting standards the most common
00:01:29.039 00:01:29.049 process in the past was asked clay
00:01:31.319 00:01:31.329 treatment in this process used oil comes
00:01:34.679 00:01:34.689 into the re refiner
00:01:35.849 00:01:35.859 is treated with acid and then an
00:01:38.249 00:01:38.259 undergoes a clay filtration but this
00:01:41.039 00:01:41.049 cleans up the oil reasonably well it
00:01:43.349 00:01:43.359 doesn't clean up enough to meet valve
00:01:45.480 00:01:45.490 leans exacting standards over the years
00:01:48.959 00:01:48.969 new technology and new processes have
00:01:51.510 00:01:51.520 transformed recycled oil in fact re
00:01:53.999 00:01:54.009 refining now uses the same processes as
00:01:56.669 00:01:56.679 refining crude oil it even produces the
00:01:59.010 00:01:59.020 same results motor oil that exceeds the
00:02:01.769 00:02:01.779 tough standards set by the American
00:02:03.330 00:02:03.340 Petroleum Institute when used oil is
00:02:05.819 00:02:05.829 brought to a refining facility the first
00:02:07.919 00:02:07.929 undergoes a process called flash
00:02:09.600 00:02:09.610 distillation to remove water fuel and
00:02:12.120 00:02:12.130 other contaminants
00:02:13.190 00:02:13.200 then it is treated to remove heavier
00:02:15.650 00:02:15.660 metals and other particles from there
00:02:18.050 00:02:18.060 the process is identical to refine and
00:02:20.089 00:02:20.099 crude hydro treaters reduce nitrogen and
00:02:22.940 00:02:22.950 sulfur and actually refresh the oil
00:02:24.830 00:02:24.840 molecules then a final distillation
00:02:27.530 00:02:27.540 removes the remaining contaminants and
00:02:29.839 00:02:29.849 separates the oil into different grades
00:02:31.759 00:02:31.769 but there are two major differences
00:02:34.009 00:02:34.019 between refining crude oil and recycled
00:02:36.380 00:02:36.390 oil time and energy without having to
00:02:39.770 00:02:39.780 find drill and extract crude oil
00:02:41.960 00:02:41.970 recycled oil actually saves energy
00:02:44.390 00:02:44.400 reduces emissions and cuts fossil fuel
00:02:46.880 00:02:46.890 consumption
00:02:47.600 00:02:47.610 that means recycled oil has less of an
00:02:50.330 00:02:50.340 environmental impact compared to
00:02:52.100 00:02:52.110 refining crude oil this is the new oil
00:02:54.710 00:02:54.720 recycling process the result is a
00:02:56.900 00:02:56.910 recycled oil that's every bit as good as
00:02:58.729 00:02:58.739 new oil it not only meets industry
00:03:00.830 00:03:00.840 standards but also meets the superior
00:03:03.289 00:03:03.299 standards we set at Valvoline the same
00:03:05.990 00:03:06.000 quality the same protection only this
00:03:08.630 00:03:08.640 oil protects more than your engine it
00:03:10.819 00:03:10.829 also protects the environment
