Jeez. I've used left-over motor oil on mine for 38 years. They're
still going strong.

I started with 10W-40. Now we're at synthetic 5W-20. Whatever is
left over goes into my "what the hell" pump oiler.

Once motor oil leaves the engine, it should ONLY go to recycling. It
shouldn't be used for anything else.

OOPS, Guess I shouldn't be using it in the waste oil furnace in the shop
or to fuel my foundry furnace...

But it does work really well for both...
