50% used motor oil 50% diesel

After some guy claimed to be burning 100% heated used motor oil I had to try it.

I drove my car down to half past the R on the fuel gauge (I estimate this is around 2 gallons) and then changed my oil. I put all 8 quarts in the tank and drove to a friends house 40 miles away. As far as I could tell there was no noticeable difference. It didn’t smoke or anything.

The exhaust did smell a little like when you spill oil on a hot exhaust manifold.
I hope this didn’t put a huge hole in the O-zone layer.
