Lube Oil Dilution…?
Lube oil dilution is a potentially serious issue (unburnt vegetable oil slipping past piston rings) as this will polymerise in the lube oil and could lead to engine failure. Use of blends much stronger than we advise could cause this problem. As small quantities of fuel will inevitably contaminate the lube oil, an oil flush should be performed on each oil change. It is important to perform oil changes at the recommended intervals. Extended service intervals of 20 – 25,000 miles between oil changes are an option on some vehicles. To use SVO blends the vehicle should be derated to standard oil change intervals. 3. Coking…? Unburnt vegetable oil can lead to higher levels of coking in the combustion chamber. Again, our advise on blend strength should be followed. Our Vplus7 fuel additive package helps combat this potential problem.
