Lovecraft is a snake oil salesman who is taking advantage of people's ignorance to make money. On the other hand, if you cannot educate yourself enough to steer clear, you deserve what you get.

That’s precisely my point the guy knows how to make money, we all know the forgiveness of the MB diesel engine burning different oils heated or unheated if you want to have a long lasting engine obviously you will heat your oil but it also will run unheated (providing it will reach the combustion chamber) for a period of time.

"You just pour vegetable oil in where the gas goes."

How ignorant, stupid, etc.
Talk about misinformation.

They were putting GAS in a diesel?

Even I have problems with that!

Hi Jim-
Frankie here. Gee you have problems with "gas" in the tank? Ha ha ha ha. Let's hope he meant diesel. Was it you or Jeremy that showed me his sheepskin seatcovers? I want to let you know that I did buy sheepskins from sheepskins.com after all. Inferior, I know but they work really well for me. Matches my palomino interior too.

Yah that was me, Frankie. I'm glad you found a set that worked for you.
I remember your '85 sedan, it was VERY VERY clean. I believe you said you were thinking about a repaint. I think that would be a waste of money, it's best to keep the original paint as long as possible, a good detail
job will do wonders on those cars, with respect to the paint.

When you take an engine that can last much longer than 500K miles and you basically reduce that lifespan to 10-20k miles, you're doing something terribly wrong.
