The agencys tests revealed that the motor oils in question were labeled with misleading information. Some had less product than claimed, some advertised the wrong SAE viscosity grade and others contained used motor oil.

The full list, foundhere, includes a number of brands that the Petroleum Quality Institute of America, a N.J.-based consumer advocacy organization, has previously warned consumers about. Several brands have products banned in all three categories, including Orbit, Super XXX, and Bullseye, which is also banned in Michigan as of October 2013.

I admire that Missouris Weights and Measures division is taking a look at whats happening in the marketplace, seeing that there are products out there that are mislabeled and can in some instances damage vehicles, and taking action to protect consumers, PQIAs president, Tom Glenn, told Lube Report.

Were very encouraged when states take action, he continued. I believe it sends a strong message to makers and blenders and goes a long way to get these misrepresented products off the shelves.

This is one of the first states to test and ban antifreeze products, Glenn said, adding that its a welcome addition to automotive standards enforcement and consumer advocacy. The department found that Bullseye, North Atlantic, Orbit, Super XXX and Supreme XXX antifreeze products contained less than what their labels claimed and failed to meet the advertised blend of ethylene glycol and water.
