Got it. It was the thermal breakdown that had me concerned, but now I understand.................thanks.

But, depending on what you are using it for.........like bar oil on my chain saw,

Are these more of the tongue-in-cheek ads on the internet or real?

BH

I made fun of the advertising for used oil and used oil filters because it seems like a joke.

The Amazon offer for used oil filters is not a joke, what I posted is exactly the way the results of a search for oil filters reads. However, If you click on the results pop-up, you will find no used oil filters being offered. It is just a dump search engine programmed to offer used items even if no used items are available.

The used oil advertising is also not a joke but this time you can buy used oil. Re-refined oil is as good as, if not better than, oil obtained from crude oil. The quality of re-refined oil is very dependent upon the re-refining technology and the source of the used oil.

More information can be obtained from companies that re-refine use oil.

Oil does NOT wear out, it just gets dirty. Once cleaned it can be reused.

Thermal degradation does happen, but that should not happen to any great degree with normal usage.

Not the way I see it. Oil flowing through an internal combustion engine gets destroyed.

Light factions in the oil evaporate and get redirected to the combustion chambers by the Positive Crankcase Ventilation system. Heavier factions get returned to the oil sump, increasing the viscosity of the oil.

Oil sump temperatures can reach or exceed 130 degrees F, with piston ring temperatures exceeding 590 degrees F. Oil that passes thrugh turbochargers may exceed 600 degrees F. All these high temperatures are enough to increase the rate of oil oxidation which causes oil to thicken (increase viscosity.)

Increased viscosity leads to reduced oil flow and reduced heat dissipation (motor oil lubricant has a second function, cooling hot parts in the engine), which in turn accelerates the oxidation process.

Fuel and exhaust that gets past the rings are added to the oil in the engine, contaminating the oil.

Some of the hydrogen atoms in the oil chains get replaced by contaminates, seriously degrading the oil.

Water from the combustion process gets past the rings and adds water to the oil, leading to acidic oil that wears engine parts rapidly.

Used oil that is simply "cleaned" through a settling and/or filtering process remains destroyed as far as use in an automobile is concerned.

Is that oil they were collecting from restaurants' deep-fryers still being collected and reused for vehicles or lubrications?

In some states, like New Jersey, it is Murph.

That's what they burn for fuel, in the steam locomotives at Disneyland. They have lots of fry oil to recycle.

It smells like it too. I have the urge to go buy French Fries every time the Disney train passes by.

Recycled cooking oils is not the same thing as the oil being used in cars for lubrication; is being used for fuel in many places and in some USN ships.

Correct, the link I provided was about cooking oil being used for bio-diesel fuel.

I wonder what chicken fried in bunker fuel would taste like?...

Why don't you try it?

We will defer to your expertise in consuming food cooked in bunker oil....

I think I'll start with some bunker fuel nuggets. What are my dipping options?

Melted lard; stewed and blenderized blood-sausage; pan drippings; fried bacon run-off.
