Rumours of GTX being between 50-85% recycled oil have been floating around for years.

Do you have a link to any press release or product information? Is it 504.00/507.00 compliant?

We used to use recycled oil when I was at Goodyear in the early 80s. We used to sell our old oil to the recyclers for 5c a litre (and it was full of brake fluid, diff oil & battery acid) & buy recycled back for 20c/L. It was rubbish oil but how else can you offer a lube with filter for $10? We had a recomended change interval of 3months/5000km.

I did a survey on it, its meant to be coming soon so i dont have a link. I should of taken a screen shot..
The pictures where not very good and couldnt read to much on the label but it was 15-40

If it's 15w-40 then it probably isn't 504.00/507.00 & therefore doesn't suit a mkV. Maybe you should have started a new thread?

maybe, but just thought i would ask see what peoples views are
