Used engine oil.

Does anyone have any pictures of what WMO looks like after its been filtered by a low micron filter? Also, since we're not mixing any chemicals together like in traditional bio, is there any reason to wait for settling?

Hey, new here to the site. I have also really been intrested in running WMO and found a supply. I have looked at buying a processor but they are really high. Any ideas on a cheaper way. Thanks

No pictures but its still black, very black after even 2 hours of filtering through a 2 micron fuel filter/water seperator baldwin #1212.

Yeap... What comes out of my Frantz filter is rather very black and nasty yet... I know it filters way down below what a standard oil filter can do...

My friend just landed me a source at a repair shop, he says I can have all the oil. The owner has an 06 and is interested as well, after I run it in my truck first lol. Now I just have to get everything set-up.

Lets say it costs you 150$ to fill up like me, if you run a 50/50 mix and pocket the other $75.. save that money towards VP's or larger issues this may cause.. if it runs like a top for another 50k miles with no issue.. well... do that math.. in therory it could last a very long time.. and at that point when/if it does kill the truck.. you could have had it running on this mix long enough to just walk away from it with your wallet full.



Just a though.

What might be the problems if the WMO is partly syn, which has become very popular???
This would be my biggest worry.

What the hell just dump in all in there...

After 2 years of battle and study work of trying to protect VP44 and fuel system from damage. Now because of fuel prices it doesn't matter what you dump in your tank...

Well you might as well dump in WVO, WEO, ATF, Gear lube, etc... Synthetic or petroluem... But don't come whine back that your injectors, injection pump and engine is ruined because you tried to save a nickle at the fuel station...

As for me and this thread I'm DONE.

If anyone wants my advise you know where to find me at my web site. Good luck and I hope you guys don't eat a fuel system to save a nickle...

Burn 1200 gal/year in my reznor heater in shop, have to clean heater 2 - 3 times a season for ashes, builds up to the point heater can not burn ( heat ).

My truck don't need that in the vp44

How are you going to get ashes in your VP44??? Unless you figgure out a way to burn the oil before it gets to the injection pump, then that won't be a problem. Secondly, A VP injects fuel at, what, close to 20,000lbs... atomizing fuel essentially perfect, burning in the cylinder with a bizzilion lbs of pressure and heat. Your space heater, what is it drip feed??? You can't compare how the two will burn it.

I run 75% oil in my 12v as long as the weather is hotter than 70*, when the motor is up to temp, there is no smoke (unless i am flooring it)

I'm not saying you should try it, but don't condemn it unless you have tried it.

The VP doesn't inject the fuel at 20,000 PSI. More aroud 3000-4000 PSI. Now the CR engine can get up to around 20,000. There would be no way to get ash into your VP cuz your not burning the oil before it gets to the ijection pump. Now you might have ash build up in your cylinders and exhaust manifold but with the high amount of exhaust flow I think it would just flow out the exhaust pipe. Just my .02.

Why are you so upset this thread is about WEO is it not? This thread has nothing to do with 2 cycle oil or your work so I see no reason to be upset at anyone. If you don't like what they have to say don't read the thread or any post about WEO/Used engine oil!
But if they can do so and not lose $$$ then more power to them as they have found away to stick it to the high cost of diesel fuel and to big oil. Anyway if they have problems and something breaks they are the ones who have to pay the repair bill. I guess if they come back here and complain about the repairs cost then you can say I told you so.
