SVO / Soot / Oil Changes
Have about 100 miles since dumping in 10 gals of fresh soybean oil. The smell kind of reminds me of a cross between popcorn and my old 2 stroke dirt bike running Castor oil (I use to love the smell of that exhaust).
So far it seems to run quieter, smoother and by seat of the pants faster. My lowest elevation is about 2500 ft. The exhaust seems cleaner which brings me to my questions. 1. Logic tells me that the soot levels drop, in which case the engine oil must remain cleaner longer. Is the soot level lower and does engine oil visually7 remain cleaner longer? 2. If yes to the above; am I correct in that the air intake and components would not have the black goop buildup? 3. Has anyone done an oil analysis to see what happens to the soot level and other particulates and / or the metal levels in the analysis as compared to running #2. Thanks and Have a great day. Don
