Waste motor oil as bar oil

[kenfain]

I watched the news yesterday said eating broccoli can cause cancer, today on the news said eating broccoli helps prevent cancer not sure how the old guys survived and are still alive after lead paint lead in gas and asbestos. And eating eating broccoli once a week for 50 years

They survived because they had a limited exposure to unauthorized, unapproved bar oil. Obviously that stuff is deadly.

Some of you guys must value your time at absolutely nothing to be willing to go through that much hassle to replace $10/gal bar oil. How much of it are you using for it to be worth that kind of hassle?

 

[kenfain]

Maybe it's the economy?

Wow has a plan that he's put some thought into, and while I don't personally use WMO for anything except the occasional bonfire starter, and only consume a small amount of bar oil. So it would never be cost effective. But still I see a lot of merit in his concoction. I think the amount of bar oil making it's way into the lungs are minimal, at best. And "known carcinogen"? Did the regular bar oil get a free pass on that? Or is it more okay for breathing? I change my oil when it turns caramel colored, and would assume that it would take little filtering to once again be useful. But fully agree that bar oil is cheap, so that's what I use.

Regular bar oil isn't a carcinogen and used motor oil is.
The "concotion" doesn't do a thing to change the toxic nature of drain oil.

which is where most of my laughter is directed. lube is lube.... anything you get from used motor oil is no worse than the grit you normally pick up from cutting wood. I personally use my used motor oil for a space heater that is designed and built it (By me) but anything else is game, you can adjust for it hence the adjustable oiler..

No lube isn't lube. Run bar oil in your car and see what happens.
And yes there are things in used oil that are much worse than regular bar oil and it has nothing to do with dirt and grit.

 

[kenfain]

Hmmm.

Thinking of running that in my Subaru, since it does not seem to make a difference.

Lol. Good enough for Philbert's Subaru it seems.

I will be patiently waiting for philberts Subaru engine salvage challenge. But I'm sure philbert is just kidding. From what I have read the guy is super smart and is probably just pulling our leg

Got any real evidence of how much bar oil is inhaled? Any evidence that regular bar oil ISN'T toxic? If not then you're just making an assumption. That kind of thinking is exactly how this country has ended up wearing face diapers.

 

[Brufab]

Guess we should wear facial diapers while running saws is the moral of this whole story... If it's good enough for coronavirus it has to be good enough for bar oil....

Looks like this guy has a line of bar oil across his face. Looks like his mask saved his life!

If that's a line of bar oil...lol, he's doing it wrong

 

[Brufab]

No doubt I don't think it's recommended that your saw is head high in the cut!

Talk about breathing in known carcinogens lol. I really hope that actually is bar oil, and not what it looks like.

I was thinking the same thing.

I like broccoli

I’m gonna roll the dice

And they dodged a hazardous waste disposal fee.
Have you ever heard of PCB's....worse than used motor oil.

In the early 70s' i liked that stuff better than WD40 and I saved any I could when cleaning copper/scrapping.

I knew three guys who lived near a restaurant that cooked lots of french fries and fried chicken. They collected all their waste cooking oil and used it in their chain saws regularly. One of them liked it when the bar got hot and smoked the cooking oil because the smell made him salivate.

Back in the day I would look around to see where the smell of fast food (French Fries) was coming from.. There aren't any fast food joints around my neck of PodunkVille .. sure enough somebody would leave their diesel running and they were recycling veg oil. They had to be careful about gelling as winter caught up with them. The smell was pleasant considering I seldom eat fast food.. and it was always stronger with lower temperatures. Seldom see/smell that anymore since new tech is wreaking havoc when veg oil meets the new technology.
