The fact that your filter plugs in about 100 miles should tell you a lot. There are commercial heaters that are designed to burn waste oil, generally a furnace of some sort used to heat a workshop or other good-size building. But your MB diesel just wasn't made to burn used motor oil (or ATF). I really have no idea if messing with the polymers will reduce your filter plugging or not, but as I said in my last post, I wouldn't do this on a car you care about...
