You will get both answers in this forum. Ranging from "no problems, go ahead" to "your car WILL die if you do it".

Personally, I've only seen anecdotal evidence regarding the destruction of engines using properly filtered WVO. I've run a few hundred gallons with no mechanical problems attributed to using the WVO. I've had clogged filters and one tank screen, but I can't directly point the clogged screen specifically at WVO.
