Yeah, that's pretty much what I came up with. I just didn't know if there was a difference when it comes to combustion of used synthetic motor oils vs. used crude-based motor oils. Or if combining the two can create any further issues. Nobody seems to touch on that in the interwebs, that I could find. Creating bio-diesel out of WVO seems to be a little involved, especially if you can run down to the local lube-n-go, grab some used oil, put it through a filter sock, and just run it.
I would agree, its filtering and viscosity with these new CRFI engines. That is why they use a heater for WMO being thick. Lift Pumps and CP3/4 pumps are made for pushing very thin oil will not be happy. Shoving it through the injectors my not be the best either. Sure it may burn but for how long and what cost? Might be as simple as diluting it before use or a heater to this it out some.
Something else this reminded me of. Remember reading about the US Army Air Corps raids into Ploesti, Poland? Well, I think that's Poland, but we went there a couple of times to bomb the german refining facilities. Where the Nazi war machine was manufacturing...synthetic fuel for their diesel and gas war machine...

Might be as simple as a heater wrapped around the filter.I have heard the same, start on regular diesel, run on wmo, shut down on diesel.
Ploesti, Poland? Well, I think that's Poland,
