well most motor oil is designed to resist thining out at high temps, to maintain its ability to lube a hot engine, so i don't know how much a whole heck of a lot more heat will do for me. I guess if i mixed it with more stuff it probably wouldn't retain that ability to stay thick when hot

Cummins stated more than 10 years ago you could burn a percentage of WEO in the fuel. I think that coma might have scrambled a few things in there.

There are owners that have gone over 500k miles on the 12v using WMO with no issues. So what's the deal? Filter the oil correctly shouldn't be any worse than the crappy diesel we have. And god knows I have seen some really $hitty diesel (dirt, slug debris, dead critters). Bad enough to have the tankers pressure washed and steam cleaned before the next load. MikeyB

Does the engine oil from gasoline engine's contain the high amounts of carbon and ash?

![]() The only oil I know right now that is ASHLESS is 2 cycle oil... As for carbon content all waste oil is going to have some degree of carbon in it... Its a wastee product of combustion...

OK, so the people against it seem to be against it mainly because of ash contamination. If the oil was filtered to less than a micron in a centrifuge and mixed with biodiesel with the oil being 20% of the mixture, what issues are we then looking at?

I know for a fact synthetic oil doesn't burn, or if it does it doesn't burn very good.. Drained amsoil out of the dodge, dumped it in the ford, white smoked that whole dam tank..

I'll do some testing soon for everyone. Looks like some of my sideline work is coming to fruition. I'll try some filtering of WEO to see what I can do with a centrifuge. I'll even send it off for analysis afterwards.

Tansmission fluid will and gear oil will burn to I also read on a $bt forum of people using hydraulic oil. I have read about synthetic not burning well they engine will still run on it but to much of it dose not burn and leves diposits in the exhaust. as for the ash/carbon in the oil........ most ash that is in the oil will burn due to the intense heat and presure at wich it is burned. as an example look at a fire pit verses at wood burning stove when the fire pit burns out you are left with large chunks of charcoal when the same wood is burned in a closed enviorment(wood stove) it burns to a very fine ash. I have ran both WEO and transmision fluid in my truck first in lower amounts 5 gal in a full tank. did not notice a differance. then when It got down to below 1/4 tank I put in 5 more gal of oil atf mix and it seem snappier. and smelled like buring oil Milage was the same just a little more black smoke with the pedel to the floor.
