I've gone full BITOG....I drained oil/re-used it.....

I was considering running used oil from our other vehicles in my pickup when the head gasket was leaking a quart every 75 miles.

Eventually, I opted to get the head milled down past the coroded oil port.

I ran used Honda GN4 out of a 400EX in an old Murray riding mower with an oil burning and leaking Briggs and Stratton. I would change the oil on the atv after any time I ran it at the sand drags. I assumed that was doing my clutch and engine a favor(probably just over maintaining in reality).

Eventually the atv started burning oil so I switched it to a cheaper oil. Wasn’t long before I moved and sold it. After the move I pulled the engine on the mower and fixed the leak so it just burned but didn’t leak oil.

No, no, no. Drain it all back out.










And send it to me .

Update. Drove it. No issues.

When my daughter was in college she didn't have a lot of extra money. I used to drain the syn oil out of my car around 4K. I would keep it clean as possible and then use it in her oil burning Accord. That car ran and ran on.

No worries. I've done it too.
