Fuchs in Germany makes a vegetable oil based engine lubricating oil that they call Plantomot (has good biodegradable properties). http://www.fuchs-oil.de/index.php/worldwide/0/ In fact Elsbett specifies that this oil be used in engines that have been converted to run on SVO using their kits, presumably because some vegetable oil fuel inevitably mixes with the lubricating oil and this Plantomot oil is less prone to polymerization (thickening) of the lubricating oil when this happens.

Is it possible to make motor oil out of WVO? I read in another thread about using biodiesel in gas engines as a fuel additive, anyone know anything about maybe using it as an oil additive?
