   The oil fails the test at a particular temperature if the oil is too viscous. The grade of the oil is that associated with the coldest temperature at which the oil passes the test. For example, if an oil passes at the specified temperatures for 10W and 5W, but fails at the 0W temperature, the oil is grade 5W. It cannot be labeled 0W or 10W.

   The oil is dyed blue to make it easier to recognize in the gasoline. It appears black in this bottle because it is not diluted. Two-stroke oil (also referred to as two-cycle oil, 2-cycle oil, 2T oil, or 2-stroke oil) is a type of motor oil intended for use in crankcase compression two-stroke engines, typical of small gasoline-powered engines.

7. Automotive oil recycling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_oil_recycling

   Automotive oil recycling involves the recycling of used oils and the creation of new products from the recycled oils, and includes the recycling of motor oil and hydraulic oil. Oil recycling also benefits the environment: [1] increased opportunities for consumers to recycle oil lessens the likelihood of used oil being dumped on lands and in ...
