BASE OIL

Read our primer articles on High Mileage Oil, Synthetic Oil and Kinematic Viscosity

HERE BLENDERS IN U.A.E USE HIGH GRADE RECYCLE OILS WHICH APPEARS DULL AND HAZY, WHICH IS NOT DUE TO MOISTURE.

FROM MY POINT OF VIEW THIS APPEARANCE IS DUE TO SOME WAXY TYPE COMPONENTS IN OIL WHICH CAN BE EASILY SEEN THROUGH NAKED EYES SPECIALLY ON TOP LAYERS AT 20 TO 25 DEG C.

AFTER HEATING IT UPTO 40 TO 50 DEG C APPEARANCE GETS CLEAR AND BRIGHT.

BUT AFTER COOLING BACK TO ROOM TEMP RETAIN ITS ORIGINAL APPEARANCE DULL AND HAZY.

WHETHER IT CAN BE FILTERED THROUGH FILTRATON TECHNIQUES FOR EXAMPLE THROUGH BAG FILTERS OF 5 MICRON OR LESS.

NEED YOURS INPUT PLEASE.

insolubles could be a lot of things I would think that filtration would not remove them try adding a ester or LOW aniline point oil which may solubilize whatever it is tho It sounds like NOT very good base oil.
