The problem with oils like Pakelo and Ravenol is that they come only in 5L bottles and the 1L bottles aren't priced competitively. 5L means a guaranteed 1.5L wastage every service for me. Old leftover oil I would never use for a new oil change. Probably keep it all for a flush or buy 2 5L bottles and service 3 cars all at the same time.

After 1 day, engine hangus dy.
But many said taxi drivers have been using it for a long time! :o
cooking oil is very thin, that's the reason why there's still ppl using it, but i can't imagine that french fries smells in the engine bay :biggrin:

This has been proven to work and all that. But remember what engine oil does for the engine.

1. It lubricates.
2. It cleans the engine of acidic by-products and varnish.
3. It removes gunk and junk (fully syn).
4. It cools the engine to a certain extent.

I've heard of reports of people using cooking oil for 4000km or more, and when the oil comes out it's the same colour as when it went in. That's not good. There's a reason why oil comes out thick like honey or black like charcoal when changing oil.

So if you're on french fries oil, good luck to the longevity of your engine.

Got la. Ravenol is a group V based oil. Good shit. Expensive too. 5L and usually is the OEM oil for Mercs in Europe.
