Bad Motor Oils Still on the Shelves
|
 News12 New Jersey - Kane In Your Corner,
in cooperation with PQIA, ran a three part investigative series exposing a serious issue all car owners should be aware of. That issue being dangerous motor oil for sale at gas stations and convenience stores; some of it was so contaminated that it could seriously damage a car or void its warranty.
 Now, five months later, a Kane In Your Corner investigation finds the brands that did worst in lab tests do not appear to have kept their promises to make things better.
Note: The Petroleum Quality Institute of America has issued several
Consumer Alerts and "Don't Buys"on the MaxiGuard brand highlighted in the Kane in Your Corner news segment. PQIA is pleased to hear the
manufacturers of MaxiGuard motor oil, Bass Oil & Chemical, have assured News12 NJ Kane in Your Corner they will address the issue and that they say the State of New York's Department of Weights and Measures recently visited its facility to discuss the product.
