    Hard lesson learned. Oil and Walmart.

    Changed my oil today. Used Rotella T6 I bought last fall. Using a black funnel, I poured in about 3.5 quarts of oil. I then realized the oil was as black as my motorcycle. Somebody obviously returned the bottle of Rotella after filling it up with their used oil. When I uncapped it, it was on tight and even had a couple audible snaps from the security ring.

    I drained then dumped in a few quarts of miscellaneous oil I had laying around the garage to clean out the crud.

    Typing this while draining one last time. I double checked the new gallon of Rotella, real close this time.

    I hate asshole scumbags.

    Foil seal?

    Shouldn't there be a foil seal on the opening to the container?

    I changed mine today using Rotella T6 and no foil seal. Oil was proper looking and purchased from Walmart as well. That sucks on the used oil.

    You can go and complain to Walmart they can go to the computer and tell who return that oil.

    I probably bought this oil last Sept. I think it's a lost cause at this point.

    It always amazes me when some dirtbag comes up with new and improved ways to screw the good guy. Who even dreams this crap up? Obviously some Dbag with no moral fiber. Sorry for the headache, that sucks!
