Fully Biodegradeble Animal Fat based oil
While I'm pretty opinionated when it comes to oils and am quite picky about what I use, this one at the very least sounds interesting. I'm typically a sceptic about things like this and the thought of an animal fat based automotive oil that is fully biodegradable is a bit unconventional. Granted animal fats (oils) do work as fuel in diesel engines. Nevertheless this is an API certified oil which gives it some credibility. At the very least I'm curious. Now someone go buy some and tell me what happens! G-oil just doesn't roll off the tonque as well as Royal Purple.

OMG, thats a find. Now since the rotary burns oil by design, I wonder if the exhaust would smell like beef,chicken, or pork.

RG.

I'm olde enough (just) to remember Castrol "R" oil in vintage formula cars.

I guess what comes around, goes around.

But, there have been great advances in lubrication technology since the '50's. I'm not sure this is one of them, though.

I don't know if I'd want my car going down the road smelling like Tony Roma's ribs. Every dog in the neighborhood would be chasing me.

Fortunately they'd have no problems catching you as you'd probably blow your intake manifold apart in the ensuing chase!

What about cholesterol on my intake ports? I'd be worried that this could lead to increases in weight gain in my car and high oil pressure.
