G-oil really is animal based.

[Hollow]

Well, I changed the oil about 2 weeks ago in the Outback. Didn't have anything to pour the used G-Oil into at the time, so I left it sitting in the drain pan until yesterday when I had some empty milk jugs.

Poured out the very cold oil and found what looks like rendered fat in the bottom of the pan. Guess it had started to break down like it is supposed to. That wasn't there when I drained the oil from the Outback.

Definately made me do a double take though.

I thought it was vegetable/plant oil based???

So it's probably doing the same on the bottom of your oil sump.

Maybe the "G" stands for goat!

Maybe I'm glad I never got this oil. Animal fat in your engine? Can't be good...

Nope. Animal tallow based.

I would doubt that. Unless my oil sump sits open and exposed to air for a few weeks at a time. I would think that the heat and combustion products would keep the oil from breaking down.

I thought this oil was just like any other. Then the fur started growing out of my tailpipe...

Had Blackstone do a UOA. Everything looks fine but they couldn't explain the elevated hormone levels.

Now we need some "free range" racing and fleet oils.

have g-oil sitting in my dads 2000 chevy 2500 which sees about 500-1000 miles per year. will be interesting to see what comes out of the drain pan this upcoming September.

It can be, and is; Meets API and has been reviewd by PQIA.

Many UOA with acceptable results.

Do you think it isn't treated by numerous industrial processes?

makes me want to try pure bacon fat next OC.

Don't think my cell phone will get enough detail for that. My camera is MIA after we moved.

Can try though.


Still, not concerned by it. The oil came out normal and black when drained, then sat in an open container in a basement for 2 weeks. I'm thinking it is degrading in the environment it is designed to do so in, and saw no signs of the sump of a vehicle having the same effect.

Mine does. (It isn't an airtight tank.)

I dumped out old quaker state ultimate durability oil that was sitting in an enclosed drain pan last time I changed my oil. The oil was sitting in it for over a month and a half. It also had some globs of "white" oil, plus water since the drain pan sat outside. and likely collected water whenever it rained.
