Now lets try to cook with 10w30 ....🤔🤔🤔
Mmmmmmmm. Yummy
You might be able to with virgin crude, but commercial motor oil has been refined with a lot of added chemicals and detergents.
Robert LeBlanc sounds like a clean asshole to me.
lets make some frenchie fries?
Waynes Grid HELL YEAH!!! Probably still cleaner than McDonald’s
That frozen flow test was comedy gold 😂
Thank you

Anyone planning on invading Russia in the winter take note
Vegetable oil can't avoid to freeze, so it won't be suitable for engine oil in the snow weather countries
@@chetmanley8755 Everybody should have learned so far not to attack Russia. Period.
I used vegetable oil in a lawnmower after I checked the regular motor oil and did not have any more at hand. I mowed the lawn and it smelled like I was cooking French Fries
lol
My dad's chainsaw runs on the common 50:1 ratio mixed gasoline. I added about 2/3 tablespoon of blended cooking oil to the gas tank when he wasn't looking. Don't tell him. ;D Cutting down dead trees and the chainsaw smelled like motorcross dirtbike exhaust. Potent. More visible smoke but nowhere near a night and day difference.
Just one(1) correction point. The people from Belgium invented the fries, that is the famously called French Fries. And in the area, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, all give out a big scoop of Mayonaise, not ketchup, with an order of fries. Can’t remember who started Telling the French got tagged with the fries. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Pro tip Henauder nobody gives one (1) shit

Hi my name is Mike and a while ago I got diagnosed with cancer and find myself having a lot of downtime so I appreciate the video you put out it really helps pass the time
Thank you very much Mike. I hope the cancer goes away and you heal quickly. God Bless, Todd
Hope you get better Mike!
Good luck with your treatment!
Get well Mike

Please don't ever let this wonderful channel become a grind for you. Always do it because you want to and because you are curious. You have maybe the best channel on CZcams! Superb!
Thank you very much!
Brad Conklin go to bed
He will do what I tell him understand!
The cold test at 3:36 cracked me up. The "plop" sound killed me!
Thanks for watching.
That's a well seasoned lawn mower now. You cast iron guys know what I mean.
@Bill Williams if you gotta ask, then it wasn't a very good one.
Good one
LOL I JUST RESTORED AND SEASONED A CAST IRON PAN TODAY!
Next: I "season" my CBR600F3
Always taste better on a seasoned cast iron
wow man i bet you post those annoying 30 second hipster cooking videos on facebook
So basically, if you lube your lawnmower with vegetable oil, don't leave it outside in Alaska in wintertime and then attempt to mow the snow off your lawn.
LOL! Great point!
You should make go carts using these engines. And see what kind of power they can make .
Fsilone basically
There is such a thing as a snowblower, you know..
Tjita1 lol we know he is making a joke since most of the motors he uses in videos are from lawbmowers
An interesting implication of this is that if you ever got access to a diesel engine to do experiments on, that means you could both run and lubricate the engine with vegetable oil.
This is a great recommendation! I'm hoping to buy a small diesel engine soon.
Cool, I can't wait to see what you test on it!
I wonder if this would cause a runaway engine? I noticed that there was a lot of residue left on the cylinder and head. If there’s enough blow by from the vegetable oil I’d imagine you might have an issue
Another vote for this - I was very excited to see a veg oil test on your channel - all the years of people telling me that veg oil is a poor lubricant compared to diesel in my fuel injection pump seem to be disproved. Maybe you could also test diesel alongside veg oil and regular 10w/30-40-50 oil etc?
Well done and thanks again :)
But the issue is if the diesel decides to run away, the only way to stop it is to restrict air flow to the intake as diesels dont have butterfly valves like a gas engine does.
I've given you more technical feedback a few times recently but all I want to say this time is thanks, these videos don't look easy to produce, coming up with new methods of testing isn't easy, and I can only assume they're massively time consuming. Awesome work, thank you!
Glad you like them!
I'm not sure who gets the most joy out of these videos, You making them or, Me watching them. I look forward to watching them all. Thank you for the joy :-)
Thank you very much!
This takes me back to high school auto shop circa 1981. I still remember the instructor beginning a classroom module with a simple question ... "what is lubrication ?" ... nobody was even close to being correct, it was a long but informative discussion. At the most basic level It's the cooling and separation of moving parts. That's it. No surprise to me the vegetable oil worked well. Funny how some nuggets of wisdom and knowledge stick with you for life while I couldn't tell you what I ate yesterday.
Thanks for commenting! Sounds like you had a great shop teacher!
KY jelly as an answer may have caught him off guard.
That's pretty much what.... she said 😏
If you asked the questions of, and how does that cooling and separation of moving parts actually work, and what makes a particular oil really good for that-a really good oil, you'd have even much less people able to answer that question well.
You had a bowl of Lucky Charms and then you smoked a joint!
This guy solved everyones panic about fossil fuels running out xD
lol
Richard Skipper Yes, a natural substance containing hydrocarbons from ancient decomposed matter that was trapped in liquid and can be refined into a fuel.
Beyond that, there's been a company making motor oil with _vegetable oil_ as its base oil _since the early 1990s._ They're just simply not popular, nor are they in Walmart (that I've seen, beyond Walmart's site anyhow.) Check out the company's site; they're "Renewable Lubricants Inc." I used their oil, too, and it works fine.
@Richard Skipper Than what would be considered a fossil fuel? hmmmm
😂😂😂
these videos could not be more well done.
Thank you!
Arguably top 5 CZcams channels! I love your consistency of the scientific method! Your ability to test what your viewers request is such a great niche in this platform. Please keep the videos coming!
Thank you very much!!
Vegetable oil is hard on seals and defeats ZDDP from attracting to metal, I learned this when I studied Bio-Diesel made from cooking oil. Canola oil has the lowest gel point and soybean oil has great lubricating properties.
In Terry Tyson's extensive testing and analysis of 226 motor oils, a vegetable based one made by a company called Renewable Lubricants did extremely well and ranked 3rd highest in the straight out of the bottle category (he tested some oil and extra additive combos as well).
Hence, vegetable based oil could do very well if the right kind, rightly processed, and has the right additives (as pretty much all oils made and sold now, have various additives to help improve their performance, longevity, temp stability, oxidation levels, etc).
The problem with just saying "vegetable oil" is that they are all different. Some, even with additives, would be a very poor choice. Others ok, and still some others excellent.
Castor oil has a long history of being used in 2 strokes and is still being used. According to many sources, it provides superior lubricity and film strength, BUT it doesn't burn off as well, and thus left more carbon and residue. Racers didn't/don't mind because they regularly would tear down and manually clean their engines before races anyways. But using the castor for races allowed them to push their engines harder for same.
What about palm oil vegetable ??
@@justinw1765 I've heard also about the castor oil for engine oil..
@@hadiprasetyo7322 palm oil turns solid at room twmp

Love how you get to the point.. Straight down to business.. 👍
Thank you!
Your vids are great. You test things I would never dream of. Keep it up and I'll keep watching.

Try Dawn dish soap as a substitute for oil
Thank you for this recommendation!
That would be awesome
Montana lifestyle soap is a surfactant so I don’t think it would work.
Dennis Gibson II should still try it to see what happens
I’ve been think this ever since I’ve seen these videos
I used Mazola in my 3 wheeler to get it out of deer camp. It smelled like I was riding a deep fryer! (It always burned oil while I had it).
LOL! Glad it worked!
upside downdog the clutches hate you
Project Farm
Lol same but different.
Standard blue washer fluid (2gallons) got me home after I burst a coolant hose in the car and repaired it.
Notice I was careful to not say “blew a hose” 🤔😬😬
Lol Mazola corn oil is also packaged by Stratas Foods LLC.
@MrHillfolk
A guy was traveling with his family when his car broke down. It was towed to the nearest garage. The mechanic said it would be a while before he could look at it so the guy took off with his family for a little while. When they returned the father didn't realize he had ice cream all over his face. He asked the mechanic if he figured out what was wrong with his car. The mechanic stated, it looks like you blew a seal. The guy suddenly in a panic wipes his face and proclaims, no it's just ice cream.
Great video. Well thought out and executed. Thank you !
Thank you for the feedback.
Always interesting 🤔! Keep em’ coming! Thank you!
Will do!
Will straight pump diesel work as an emergency crankcase lubricant? People do this all the time to flush sludgy crankcases and I am wondering how much damage if any it causes.
knurlgnar24 Same question
Thank you for this recommendation!
Low oil pressure and won't lubricate near as well. May overtime deteriorate seals & gaskets.
No more than 100 miles is recommended when flushing.
Its used in very small mixture quantity with oil strictly for cleaning. Valve seals and gaskets are not made to withstand fuel. I have seen diesel and gas engines with flooding problems wash the pan gaskets out.
knurlgnar24 No. In the diesel world, when certain types of injectors fail, they dump fuel into the crankcase. Bad things happen to the bearings and rings, quickly.
The semi-thawed oil plopping into the cup was the highlight for me.
LOL!
Project Farm mineral oil please I beg
Loved this video. Very informative and very well done. I have subscribed.
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
You did this video 3 years ago, this is the first I seen it, and what do I think? Great as always! I will get to see all you're videos after awhile, it might take me awhile but it is well worth it!!
Thanks!
Will baby oil work engine oil?
Thank you for this recommendation!
it could, it is mineral oil, also it might catch fire! lol
I think it will run pretty hot
Burn baby burn!
Jeremiah Clemens
Yes. As I recall it's a Paraffin oil. Might have a low flash point and equally become far too thin when heated.
Will an engine run on Zippo fluid?
Thank you for this recommendation!
Sure it will.
Great idea
"Zippo fluid" is Naptha/ White Gas.. almost the same as regular gas.. PF If you are going to try this, buy a can gallon of Coleman fuel vs little bottles of lighter fluid, it'll be MUCH cheaper :) I have an old Coleman stove that runs on both, per instructions, so they must be similar...
@@mikecollins8241 isn't Coleman's white gas only unleaded gas? Unleaded wasn't available at the pump some years ago so Coleman marketed it as white gas.
this video is very informative and complete with all the data as well as the comparison with a regular engine oil. Awesome content and presentation
Thank you!
I did the same test back in the early 90s and found the same results. The stuff worked.
The only thing we found is that after the engine sat for an extended period of time, the valves were gummed up and the small end of the rod barely moved on the wrist PIN. Solidification of the fats? I don't know.
I guess seafoam would flush that out anyway.
Put some petrol in the vegetable oil (5-15%) it stops the vegetable oil from any sort of solidifying.
Works in an emergency but probably costs more than cheap autozone brand oil which would work better. Good to know tho! If I’m out on my four wheeler and have an oil leaking issue and can only find a grocery or corner store that doesn’t sell motor oil I can buy some veggie oil and make it home!👍🏻
Great point and thanks for commenting!
Or drive to a auto shop
@@gabrielgarcia9822 drive with no oil?
@@gumelini1 once my sister drove a year without oil.
She did not, the engine would not hold and seize pretty fast. Proof? Check out the other videos where he tries to use other things like shampoo as oil, it seized the engine after a minute. I refuse to belive that your sister could drive more than a minute without any lubrication whatsoever.
Finally, I've been waiting all week for your new video .
Thank you!
You, sir, are a true scientist! Thank you!
Thanks
Finally a decent demonstration. Thanks for doing this video. Great job. 🇺🇸
Thanks so much!
Also you should try using astroglide as engine oil.
Thank you for this recommendation too.
R2Bl3nd water based or silicone? I feel that water based wouldn't work at all since it is well....water. The silicone is very light but should be a little better.
all you would see is the engine grow a beard and get tough
I did expect it to work at least fairly decently but it appeared to me to be a bit more capable then I thought it would be. Ive had this exact curiosity ever since the first time I poured 5w20 in to an engine and felt as if I was preparing to cook fried chicken because of how thin it was. Thanks for the video sir we appreciate it.
Thank you!
I was once pouring 0W20 synthetic oil in my new car and I could hear it go down to the drain pan. Mother of thin lol
I work at Toyota and the new 18 Camrys have 0w-16 oil. Basically water
Gutsup wow. I never even knew 0w16 existed until today. What are the factory recommended oil change intervals on those oils?
I agree, I think oftentimes we underestimate organic (in the traditional sense) food-grade oils, they obviously work fairly well in the tool world for many purposes. I mean, I wouldn't swap out a vehicles motor oil for vegetable oil, there are so many modifiers added even if it matched lubricity it'd turn to gunk rapidly, but as we begin our slow drift away from petroleum we'll still need "oil" for all sorts of moving parts. Heck, instead of trying to refine corn into a weak gas alternative they should put the research into better organically-derived oils for lubrication. I mean, castor and linseed oils are still preferred in several instances over synthetics, I'm sure with a little R&D they could probably replace a lot of lubricants with less toxic and renewable lubricants.
Love these videos! Thank you sir!
Glad to hear it!
I'd love to see this with a bunch of various oil stabilizers added. Lucas, liquid molly, seafoam, etc.
Nice work
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
“Now, what we will be doing today differently than in the past, is after an hour of hard use, we will be removing the vegetable oil and making some yummy 🍟!”
😁
LOL! Thanks
Talking about some fries... How did the heated oil smell?
Robert Steich running it in my tractor instead of diesel made a smell between McDonald’s and burning vegetable oil. It wasn’t at all unpleasant.
Project Farm how did it smell when you lifted the head off for the “after” pic?
I’m thinking fries now ttyl😂
Hay its ready for a fast food place near you yum
Never mind that! - more importantly, will engine oil work as vegetable oil?!
LOL! The detergents are very bad.
I'd say that would be a funny april fools joke, but I bet somebody would take it seriously
Nothing quite like French 🍟 Fries, with that hydro-carbon flavor.
These fries taste like a farm truck😂😂
+jandastroy In a world where people eat tide pods, nothing seems to be off the table anymore
Didn't expect that to do so well. Great video as always
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
Hey project farm guy! I love your videos and I think they’re super useful, so thank you and keep making them! I was wondering if there is any video of how the lubricity tester works if there is no oil at all, I think that would be a great example on how much wear it can cause with no oil. Thank you!
Thank you
Could you try straight up water??? Pure H2O?
The slow motion shots are absolutely incredible! Great work, and great content!!

I sold a new Toro to a Church that had a briggs engine and they put olive oil in it and yup it blew up good. I had the briggs rep look at it and he wouldnt replace the engine and the Paster swore up and down that they put oil in the unit. At the time I was doing work for Ammoco BP now . So I sent some of the oil to the refinery to have a test done with their mass spectrometer. Those guys lauged so hard when I told them the story they didn't charge me for the test because I was doing it for the church. Then the next time the briggs rep came by I gave him the the print out from the test he faxed it to Briggs and they bought the engine for the chuch because I had proved that they did put oil in the unit. It worked fine for one summer until they decided to change the oil.
Thanks for commenting on this.
Yeah, Olive would no fair very well, cause it has a low flash point compared to other edible oils and breaks down easier than they do. It's one of the healthiest oils to use, but not durable, lol. Good to know though, I was curious about that.
There are vegetable based oils that could do very well as compared to olive oil. In Terry Dyson's extensive testing and analysis of 226 motor oils, a vegetable based one made by a company called Renewable Lubricants did extremely well and ranked 3rd highest in the straight out of the bottle category (he tested some oil and extra additive combos as well).
Hence, vegetable based oil could do very well if the right kind, rightly processed, and has the right additives (as pretty much all oils made and sold now, have various additives to help improve their performance, longevity, temp stability, oxidation levels, etc).
Probably Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Wait why would the rep replace an engine damaged by olive oil
How about an Ethylene Glycol lubricity test? Since its used to lubricate water pumps how will it lubricate an entire engine?
Thank you for this recommendation!
hmm i like that idea, i think it should work quite well!
Water pumps have sealed bearings.
Regardless of my misinformation, which I'm honestly surprised given all the times I've heard it, Ethylene Glycol does have lubricity properties. Like a thin oil. So it's no surprise why I and so many people have believed that. I think it would still be a good thing to test just for fun.
Most if not all waterpumps (not checked every waterpump) have a seal then a hole then the sealed bearings, the hole is so if the seal leaks coolant doesn't get to the bearing. The seal gets lubed with the coolant/antifreeze/anticorrosion, if the car sits for years often the shaft the seal sits on corrodes causing the seal to leak. Coolant will eventually get into the sealed bearing which destroys it pretty quick.
Outstanding video. Anybody who cooks knows that cold vegetable does not flow very well. :-) On behalf of myself and everyone else who enjoy your videos thank you for all of the countless hours that you spend preparing for the demonstrations, running the demonstrations, and for cleaning up after the demonstrations. Additionally, thank you for undoubtedly spending a lot of your own money to bring us a lot of enjoyment watching your videos.

thanks so much for youre great video. It answers the questions clearly and efficiently!
Thank you!
My car is vegan.

My diesel engine runs on bacon grease and is cooled by environmentalists’ tears.
You _can_ run a Diesel engine on Renewable Lubricants Inc. Oil (made with vegetable oil as its base oil so it's non toxic) and then run the Diesel on Biodiesel. Vegan Diesel!
@@101Volts The problem is that after awhile, especially if there is blow by happening (where a small amount of fuel gets in the oil), then the oil, no matter what it's base is, will become more toxic to the environment.
In order for it to remain non, or much less, toxic, it would have to be a newer engine in very good shape, and you would need to change the oil more quickly.
and is Gluten Free & does Cross Fit & has to let everyone know (whether they ask or not).
Thank You Project Farm I’ve Been Waiting On this Test 😀😃😀 I’m Glad You Put it thru The Tests And On The Bearing It Seemed as It Performed Well And It Looked Like it Worked Equally As Well in the Engine Slight Amount Of Sludge On The Head n Piston Crown but Considering it was Ran For an Hour Nothing That Bad Thanks So Much Project Farm Keep Up The Awesome Videos Well Keep Watching 😀👍🏼😎👍🏼

Great Show !!!!!!
Thank you!
many years ago, a race car driver at the Indy 500 used water as a substitute for oil during a pitstop as he was not allowed to add anything but water, and still won the race. I think it was in the '30s
Wow!
stacy gardner . Makes sense to me. I do a lot of drilling on tower structural steel and discovered by desperation that plain water dribbled or sprayed continuously keeps my broaches and drill bits sharp longer and better than cutting oils and doesn’t make a slippery dangerous mess on the tower . Just keeping them cool is apparently all that is needed .
Water added to the crankcase?
I read about this before. The race regulations had a limit of how much of each fluid you could add during the race. He had surpassed his quota on oil so threw in the water as it was available and not over limit.
Water is the fastest way to spin the bearings.
Canola oil. Been using that to restore tools and lubricate parts. Best stuff I ever used. Seems to handle cold temperatures better than other oils I have tried so far.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for putting temperatures in Celsius as well it helps for us in the British colonies great videos
Thanks for the feedback.
YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the video.
Heck, yeah! Now we're talking!
Thank you!
Thanks for a fun and interesting video. Never know when it might be needed.
You are welcome! Good Point!
I am amazed at the results of running vegetable oil in the crankcase, and that the engine lasted for an hour happy to see this test I suggested it ,thank you for your videos
Thank you!
Great video with a practical engine test instead of some lab comparison! Thank you! Some suggestions, if you ever re-do it:
1. before-and-after comparisons could show pictures after running it with vegetable oil vs. picture after running it with mineral oil. The vegetable oil vs. clean-scrubbed piston crown does not yield much useful information and may make any oil look bad.
2. Rapeseed oil is the traditional steam engine lubricant so reasonably is the best oil to start with. It has the property of adhering to both wet and dry metals.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I think a shop tour, and some updates on projects would make a great video!
I’m sure a lot of us would like to see where you make these videos, kinda like a behind the scenes special!
And updates are always great
I’ve already asked about the tractor, but also curious how the good ol Ranger is holding up as well
Maybe one day down the road you could even get a junkyard car or truck engine and test out the best performing products from the small engines in it. That would be pretty interesting to compare and contrast the performance of the products from a small engine to an automotive engine
Anyways, enjoy all of your videos
Take care!
All great suggestions. I need to get the shop cleaned up and organized a bit more before the shop tour. The ranger is still running great. It's a farm vehicle for me and it gets a lot of hard use. I'll try to do an update video on it soon.
Project Farm sounds great!

"Honey I need a liter of canola oil!!"
"Kinky...😉 "
"Damnit women. I need to cut the lawn. It's an emergency!!!"

Thank you for this recommendation.
Dude r u Brandon Allen the power lifter??!!!
Alfonso Bernabe WHAT ???
Mmmmm, french fries.....
Top gear usa they used lard syrup and ky jelly in there cars
I was looking for his, and knew you’d have it. I’d love to see a new version of this using different cooking oils. Avocado oil, in particular, always seems like it is among the slickest of cooking oils, and also has a high smoke point, and I think it might fair pretty well in this test, and might even beat motor oil.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Love your work mate ;) .
Thanks a lot!
I would really love to see you put that in a fairly modern car say 2000 and up like Toyota and run it around town for a while to see how long it would last. Please..
Thank you!
@Bill Williams ur just mad toyotas are better than your fucked over rebuilt dodge
Have been running a 1998 V70 Volvo 5 cyl 20 valve 2.5 litre motor ok with Aldi vegetable oil, seems happier than normal. It has got 300000 KMs on it and has been smoking a bit when the oil gets low. As it is using about 2 litres oil per 100 litres petrol, I figure it might as well be treated like a 2 stroke lawnmower.
@@longflare How many liters is that per 5000 km?
mount an alternator to lawnmower engine either replacing the blades with a gear of some kind or using them as a flywheel and compare power output, charge capacity, & efficiency of it vs a name brand generator . direct drive alternator lol
Great video, as always
Thank you!
Thank you for trying this. I was glad to find out that vegetable oil can be used in the crankcase of an engine however only in an emergency situation and for no longer than necessary.
Thanks
Very interesting experiments! Thank you! Please try castor oil, it is used for radio-controlled models
Thank you for this recommendation!
After viewing the video. Well, I'm extremely surprised! Your engine ran for 1 hour without noticeable damage. And I'm amazed at the lubricity test! To sum up, the test didn't work as I'd expected. In an emergency situation, vegetable oil could replace the engine oil of your car, but of course, just a few miles and keeping the RPM moderate...
Great assessment. The vegetable oil will leave a messy residue inside of an engine. So, an oil change directly after using it would be wise. Thanks again.
Baby oil works too
Nice job. I wouldn't of believed it without your video.
Thank you!
Sir, you are MAD--utterly MAD!
...... I subscribed.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Thanks for testing it ProjectFarm. In the future could you prehaps test 2 stroke oil in the crankcase of one of your engines and also run it though the lubricity tester?
Thank you for this recommendation!
it would be fine, its 30w oil, funnier would be trying to use gasoline instead of oil, but , i wont stand anywhere near it
Pretty cool that you made your own bearing tester, the first time I saw one was for a gun oil promotion.
I'm also fairly sure that most mechanically inclined guys have thought about this stuff.
I have always wondered if there is an additive that would enhance gasoline for more power &/or to go further?
I also vaguely remember hearing something about a scientist who developed an engine that ran on hydrogen from water, but possibly subverted by the fuel industry.
Any thoughts or comments?
Thanks for the educational videos.
Thank you for the video idea on HHO! I need to build an HHO setup.
I think that might be the exact model of mower i used to use when I was nine years old to mow out quarter acre lawn! Great machine

What about bacon grease
Thank you for this recommendation!
Project Farm I've always wondered what would it do to a motor
Tanner Warren
Lol mom used to keep a jar of it in the fridge for cooking.
I’d figure if ya just warm it up good, pour it in and let it rip!
Corn fed pigs have a thicker lard vs our free range pigs (fed grain other than corn) . At room temp its still liquid while commercial hogs it would be solid. something to think about
You should see if liquid soap would work as oil
Thank you for this recommendation!
OH DON'T BE RIDICULOUS!!!! (sarcasm)
I think it will dry up quite fast. Try to scrub it in your hands without water, you will have your hands covered with sticky and hard residue
You are best. Thanks for all you do
You are welcome!
Great analysis!
Thanks!
Stage 1 upgrade kit for Predator compared to a bone stock Predator. I recently did a stage 1 upgrade to my mud motor. I can tell it breathes easier with the upgrades. I know the EPA chokes these poor engines down and leans them out so much it's surprising that they run. I'd love to see a torture test comparing a bone stock Predator to a simple stage 1 Predator
Many of us building these mud motors are afraid to build too much, but the bone stock motor often run too lean. After sure long runs they won't crank. It'd be nice to have some kind of raw data like your torture test. Thanks!
Thank you for this recommendation!
Black Warrior Lures I have the bone stock and thanks for explaining that. I'm going to buy the stage one for my engine!
I'm doing my usual and voting yes........for a while. Anything slick will work but some not for very long. Thanks Much in advance for another good one Commander. Happys to you and yours!
Lewie, Always great seeing your reply! Thanks for watching the video and hope all is well with you and yours!
Fine so0 far and it looks like we might need to swap for some 15w40 Wesson instead of Delo or Valvoline! Thanks again, Commander. A-PLUS!
Commander? I thought it looked like you were in the military. I always wanted to ask, but didn't want to leave a comment unrelated to the video. I actually just got out of the Navy myself.
Russell Poyner Thank you for your service to our Country! My dad was LTC Full Time in the Texas Army National Guard. Was promoted to full Colonel posthumously after being killed by a drunk driver outside Denver, Colorado in 1987. Take Care & never take one moment with loved ones for granted.
BLESS YOU MY SON! The Commander was Air Force and I was Army RVN. Good to be home. AIN'T it!
Such an awesome video.
:)
Thanks so much!
Nice test, interesting to see that the vegetable oil hasn't degraded after 1 hour.
Thank you!
