Yep.

base oil used is from their Pearl GTL facility in Qatar.
I may be able to find this info if it is important but, yes, it's good stuff. The additive package is important too in order to be the better stuff on the shelf.

It's been a few years since I got caught up on motor oil. I met a Tribologist that helped me a lot. In more recent years my son went to work for Shell. He is an engineer. He got really interested in engine oil and took it to another level. He gets into some pretty deep details.

The valvoline refined recycled oil was the shite.


A lot of re-refined base stocks are exceptionally high quality and are extremely prevalent in the US market. Just because the product isn’t mentioned as “green” doesn’t mean it isn’t using re-refined base oil. Chevron, Shell, P66, Valvoline, Warren and virtually every other manufacturer purchase re-refined base stocks, especially for syn-blend products.
