Burning used oil?

[klenger]

I am no expert (see thread on warranty issues for disclaimer) but I suspect that some heavy contaminates may stay in the oil pan and never even make it back to the oil filter. I don't have a horse in this race, so I have no objection to anyone trying anything they want to with their own truck. To me, it's not worth the risk of damage to save a few bucks, plus I only change my oil twice a year (6 gallons total), so there's not much money for me to save anyway.

I was just asking... to see your thoughts on the whole pan thing... makes sense.



At the former 5k changes, I was doing 12 changes a year (36 gallons)... now at 10k changes I'd be at 6 changes per year (18 gallons)... I do a lot of driving.



So we have basically consensused that filtered waste oil is OK to run in a first and second gen, but not a third...
