I would have to agree with this statement. However, running any car on any fuel will result in wear and eventually require service.
Choosing vegetable over petroleum oil will certainly require more frequent service but it may be worth it to some people.
The car I posted about has 320,000 miles on it and around 100,000 on 100% waste veg. oil so it's not like veggie oil destroys them on contact. Polymerization of the oil is one of the toughest long-term problems with veggie oil and I'm hoping someone will experiment and find a way prevent it from forming.
