    Cow Oil... Will it make my car smell like cheeseburgers the way an old Benz 300 smells like french fries when run on deep fryer oil?

    uuuhhhhh methinks my Ford F350 and '31A will continue with Motorcraft semi syn or Mobil 1. My guess it that "cow oil" wont meet most auto mfrs warranty requirements.

    Let's see out of that 3 barrels of oil, we get amongst many other items:
    Gasoline
    Motor oil
    Diesel fuel
    Heating oil
    Asphalt
    and - drum roll - plastics (remember all that Chinese junk in Wally World and the "dollar" stores, and those grocery store bags we all love)

    I did see that, but not sure that I really believe it - especially the Ford spec which for whatever reason seems tougher then the other mfrs. To me, unless I really see test results is something like that warranty on a Slammer Chopper or a $10 tool guaranteed for life that is, three years later just send the tool plus $8 for return postage and the receipt to Kowloon, China for your replacement.
