Does anyone know for a fact if wallmart synthetic oil uses recycled oil or is it virgin oil? Many thanks

I know that in a 7.3 or 6.0 the hpop will shear reg oil a lot sooner than syn. I run Rotella T6 in my 7.3 and get better Blackstone reports @ longer intervals. So it is worth the extra cost for the protection. Like someone stated before . I used to build high perf engines for others & my own cars. Never break in a new eng with syn cause the lubricity is so much better that the rings will not seat. Break it in with conventional oil then switch to syn.
That's interesting since I also do oil reports and several years ago I ran Shell ROtella in my 7.3 for like 5 oil changes and had higher iron in everyone of those than I had seen before with Delo. I then switched back to Delo and guess what the iron went back to the same levels as before I made the switch to Rotella. Point is my particular engine and how I use it simply did not like Rotella over Delo ... SO GO FIGURE. :h
I typically run around 4 to 5K on an oil change, but 60% and above of those miles are towing fairly heavy for my Van and in fact just yesterday mailed off my sample to Blackstone.
