My stock of used oil only contains about 20% Mobil-I, and, if I decided to do it, I wouldn't consider mixing more than 20% WMO with diesel.
And yet someone, posting here awhile ago, claimed he had no problems burning Mobil-I. I didn't ask what ratio he was using though.
It sure would be nice to save $3 - $6 per fillup and get rid of the stuff without having to haul 18 jugs and crouch beside Sunoco's waste oil tank while I dump them, especially now with the return of arctic temperatures and snow today!
Happy Motoring, Mark
