The producer of virgin base oil states that his company's position on recycling oil is one of support and encouragement. They see no problems in reclaiming or re-refining used lubes so that they may be returned to lubricant service. Their major concern is to avoid arbitrary and unnecessary constraints which could create severe problems and substantial additional costs. The processes used in refining virgin base oils and the undesirable components removed from the raw material are different from processes used in re-refining used oils and components removed from these oils. Therefore, specifications or quality criteria applied to virgin oils may not fully apply to re-refined oils (or vice versa). Careful consideration should be given to this matter. The producer then goes on to address comments to the characterization of virgin base stock quality.
