Many types of businesses that handle used oil, including: Generators are businesses that handle used oil through commercial or industrial operations or from the maintenance of vehicles and equipment. Generators are the largest segment of the used oil industry. Examples of common generators are car repair shops, service stations, quick lube shops, government motor pools, grocery [...]
If the engine oil is used for a long time, the viscosity of the engine oil will be reduced, the water sample will be severe, and it will contain a lot of metal scraps and gels, which will seriously affect the service life and stable operation of the engine. The car engine can be said [...]
The below table lists common types of used oils that are regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and provides examples of wastes and products that do not meet EPA’s definition of used oil. Please note that this list does not include all types of used oil. Used Oil Is: Used synthetic oil [...]
Recycling and reusing used motor oil is preferable to disposal and can provide great environmental benefits. Recycled used motor oil can be re-refined into new oil, processed into fuel oils, and used as raw materials for the petroleum industry. Used oils such as engine lubrication oil, hydraulic fluids, and gear oils used in cars, bikes, or lawnmowers [...]
The production of modern lubricants requires both good quality base oils, good quality additives and excellent additive formulations. It has been demonstrated in the production practice of natural lubricating oils that the quality of the lubricating oil depends both on the additive and on the base oil. The deeper the refined depth of the base [...]
Lubricating oils generally consist of two parts, base oil and additive. Base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, which determines the basic properties of lubricating oil. Additives can make up for and improve the performance of base oil, and give some new properties. It is an important part of lubricating oil. Lubricating oil [...]
If you are one of the many people who change their own motor oil, you too need to know how to properly manage the used oil. After all, used oil from one oil change can contaminate one million gallons of fresh water — a years’ supply for 50 people! When handling used oil, be sure [...]

Used oil is defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as follows: “Used oil is any oil that has been refined from crude oil or any [...]
With the development of industrial technology, high speed, high performance, high automation, high efficiency and long life required by modern equipment, it is difficult to meet the lubrication of mineral oil alone. Adding a small amount of other substances to the lubricating material can improve its performance and give it new properties. These substances are [...]
After a certain exquisite base oil, it has a certain anti-oxidation effect, but it can not meet the demanding requirements of modern times and its follow-up. It is necessary to add anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion additives. The addition amount is second only to the detergent dispersant and viscosity index improver. Pour Point Depressant Mechanism A pour point [...]
