Question Oil Change Rumor!!!

Well I recently heard from some friends and some mechanics that Castrol ExpressWay Centers use "recycled" oil, meaning mixed new and old oil. This obvliously is bad for our cars, but is this true?

Now I've had my CL for about 7 months, and I previously owned two other cars before, where I took to Castrol ExpressWay oil change. Fortunately hadn't had any problems. I even check the oil after their are done to see if its clean and to me seems fine, but I'm still concern.

Has anybody heard this rumor before, or is this pretty much BS.

It is true, pennzoil recycles oil too. But like you said they mix in new oil with it, most places sell their used oil to be made into jet fuel
