Ok, so if we want to go recycle w/o politics,
Riddle me this, crude oil is filthy right, and yet it is the base for all motor oils even redline. Not the ester portion but pao and any mineral oils. So if we can make crude into amber goodness, why cant we take used oil and rehab it in a similar process to refining crude? Is it simply economics? As in every single thing crude breaks down into is cha ching, but the only end game to recycling motor oil would be more motor oil which isnt terribly profitable in comparison? It cant be the simple use in an engine is harder on oil then billions of years of compaction with earthquakes and every thing else smashing it down? If it is possible, shouldnt we be storing used oil? My guess, the need is so massive we need crude to even come close to what we need to run automobiles.
