I had my helper drain the oil out of an LDT 465 engine saved from a scrapped truck. I was worried that water got into the engine because the valve covers were off.
He reported a quantitiy of flies in the oil.
Years ago I changed the oil in my car but didn't get around to getting rid of the WMO for several months. When I did I found many live, fat maggots and dead flies in the bottom of the oil pail. I concluded that flies laid their eggs in the oil, maggots can thrive in oil, but when they metamorpose into flies they can't get out and die.
So I have several questions.
1. Has anybody else noticed flies and maggots in oil?
2. Are flies and maggots lubricious or detrimental in WMO?
3. Do flies and maggots increase mileage?
4. Have you ever found them in your filter/centrifuge?
When you eat maggots you find they're a little slimy, so I guess they will help with lubrication....
Doubt they'll increase mileage though.
