did u mean already 175000 km on cooking oil?

that's fantastic man!

thinking of using in my car also, but only have 1 car, plus i'm a student, anything happen i won't afford to tanggung...cis

what me meant is 175k km is the car's mileage before he changed to minyak sawit.

oh my god.. cAn't believe. Takkan no scientist ever notice that?

sure got a reason why minyak sawit is not replacing the petrol until today!

Some scientist come explain quick.

dont u guys ever heard that nowadays there are companies that produced engine oil from pal oil??researched n manufactured already...googled la...

So far, do u notice any decrease in the palm oil level after a while? Concerned that it may evaporate or burn off due to it being thinner than engine oil.

1 word.

Fantastic.

no decreased..i always monitor once a week

Oh, good to hear that. Palm oil's flash point is quite hi, higher than some fully-syn oil, in fact! Maybe that's why it can resist burn off well.

i also find out that engine temp not high....engine fan take more time to function..already check with mech with computer,they said the engine temp increase quite slow.

Interesting... that means the engine temp is more stable and fluctuates less. The radiator fan motor gets to work less, last longer and drain less energy from the batt!

Wanna see how the engine internal parts (piston,valve,rocker arm,head,gasket etc) condition after using palm oil, click below.

by the way, that's my car. DIY RND.

jambu, welcome to lowyat forum

wah.....bagus tu.......can save money buy cyclinder oil.........

minyak sawit can be used.. but without the properties of the engine oil, ur internal parts will kong faster..

Now only you noticed ka? kekekeke. Im more of a reader here at LYN. Not really an active forummer. Count my post.

My car keeps hibernating at the workshop la sky. trying to improve the previous setup. when will I ever get the 'cun'nest setup, donno lar . Pics taken during the diassembly of the head. i was expecting at least some wear and tear to the internal parts, but seems everything is looking good. Gosh, minyak masak, who doesnt doubt them? I know I do.

next 2 weeks when i return to melaka come merlimau find hunt ur car down...

More and more people to try minyak masak.. i wan to try too..

do i have to flush the engine clean b4 taruk minyak masak cap naptune?

actually in long run will the engine get effected?i scare later whole engine need to do full overhauled.

basically my engine have been stripped down and you can judged the internal parts by yourself. the decision is yours!

If any researcher success making it 100% perfect for car.

Petroleum company got to lose money !!!!

So peeche and ibmlenovo..what's your progress now? any chance to strip down engine like fatani?

even have seen so many pics and heard tonnes of stories..still worried lah, coz no proper RnD (normal Malaysian mind setting...everything comes from US and westerners are always good, and high degree of doubt to local home-made researcher...ahahaha)

worried of long term (as in 50-100K or sumting) effect...cant afford car breakdown at roadside and turns out need to transplant or sumting...money is one thing, scolded by father is another thing coz it's his car...hahaha

Do both of you put any additives together with the palm oil?

p/s ibmlenovo: till now the oils still doesnt decrease after regular usage? it might burnt and evaporate on its boiling point is it?

You sure it's because of palm oil or sumting else? any experiment on short but frequent engine run to see how's the effect coz that's what we practically do everyday, not driving 60 hours straight on highway (even recommended to stop after every 2 hour to get enuf rest ). Any trial of long engine run on real engine oil and see how's the effect as well? coz i'm thinking that the clog might be because of the time and not the oil itself (thinking without any theory in head ).

Also i wonder whether the oil vapourise on high temperature...what's the maximum engine temperature? does it exceed boiling point of palm oil?

btw, can we all have a look at your research paper? or at least the abstract?

Many thanks
