Thanks Paul,
*cough* Here I have to declare I'm operating at a 'disadvantage', as compared to some of those who pontificate on some lubrication forums, tho' not ODK. grin

As in, being a technically qualified professional [Industrial Chemistry and Chemical Engineering]; with knowledge, interest and professional experience in the fields of Tribology [the science of machine lubrication], lubricant formulation, and used lubricant analysis for diagnosis of excessive wear...

Our Forum Historian CyberJack can confirm this, as he's seen a pic of my study 'certificate wall'...

BTW, NormK may have been referring to the use of used cooking oil as fuel in a diesel Enfield bike engine, not lube oil.

I do know that Enfield India Motorcycles did/do market a model with an industrial air-cooled diesel single-cylinder engine. They must be 'interesting' to ride; given the revs vs power/torque characteristics of this engine type...


Cheers,
Gadge
