I was wondering when this type of thread might show up here.....

Had a coworker who actually tried it on his Wira.... have no idea why anyone would do such a thing but anyway....

It worked!!!!!...... for a short while. After that have to rebuild the engine. So, good luck to anyone who wants to try it out.

Overhaul soon after.. many tried but again, yesterday didn't work doesn't mean tomorrow will fail too. Even Thomas Edison failed 2,000 times.. I hope u have the budget to overhaul 2,000 times..

Fully synthetic oil is now using PAO ~ Poly.alfa.olefin synthesis which is a G-IV classification oil while Ester is being used in G-V classification oil. Ask yourself why? Unless these scientists have not heard of Kelapa Sawit before.. .. or its another govt conspiracy ?!!

Keep us posted on your test result..

No wonder now cooking oil always out of stock coz many people cooking their engine

Been experimenting with this at our factory in Indonesia. Although immediate benefits can be seen (lower fuel consumption, engine runs cooler), prolonged usage would result in worn out piston rings at a much faster rate. Perhaps if the composition of the piston rings were to be altered, it might just be suitable for prolonged use. Still testing though.

The engine running cooler part is true as my unfortunate co-worker discovered..... until kaboom...

the cooking oil will breakdown under high operating temp and pressure... It may work wonders but not for long...
