Bocor caused by the palm oil...?  sad.gif

Since the engine will be stripped, ask yr mech to check the oil pan and see whether there's any sludge there, or at other parts of the engine internals.
*
not because of palm oil.it was leaking b4 that.
ok,i will ask my mech to check any sludge or internal parts condition.

now temporary have to use my father in law SAGA KRETA KEBAL (TANKER) to work

Wow you used it in waja and able to gain extra 80-90km mileage.Thats fantastic.My manual waja fc is killing me.But I prefer to wait for more extensive testing first.

The only thing I am concerned is cooking oil becomes less viscous at high temperature so the lubricating effect might be lost if your engine is running non-stop like during highway cruising.Furthermore, cooking oil oxidation property are not as robust as those of engine oil meaning it easily gets oxidise and becomes watery and changes colour.
*
yes,extra 80-90km mileage.but i control pressing pedal around 80-90kmh only.i already check with my tech,the palm oil color become light color and a bit "cair" if compare with engine oil thickness..not sure about this coz i just try it for a couple of days or so....

agreed there bro. Normal cooking oil does not have the additives packages needed to protect the engine from wear, sludge formation and carbon build up.

Even if you add in bottle of additive sold aftermarket it still wont give you the exact performance like normal engine oil as we need adequate additive package to make it perform at optimum level; the key here is adequate % of additive. not too much , not too low.

i am fully aware of this matter.i doing this to find out how far the engine can go with palm oil.after all i just top overhaul n replace some engine parts n my RB20 is ready to be transplant if my 4g18 kaput.....

ibmlenovo,

sounds like yr mechanic has quite a number of customers who hv tried the palm engine oil?

Maybe palm oil can be mixed in with regular motor oil to get the various properties I've mentioned.

rcracer,

if you're near a hypermarket, then there's easily 10x more palm oil than motor oil available! happy.gif
*
can be used with regular motor oil or just the palm oil.of course palm oil have no additives like regular motor oil.
from my xperience,engine smooth coz palm oil less thicker n i dont know why the engine temp is quite low.
after a while i found out that quite number of people using palm oil for years already.like i said....when the times come,really need to replace the oil n filter.most mech here not surprise when i mention using palm cooking oil.

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.
*
no decreased..i always monitor once a week
