Used motor oil, waste oil, for fuel.............
Research what parts get ruined and research all the filter threads.
Don't just dump it in there.
Be prepared to work.
Truck has 5 gallons of lube oil so that make it 4 bottles of ZDDP+ at 37 bucks!
and the oil is 13 bucks a gallon so that will be my $100 oil change and add the money for spin-on filters and maybe I can keep it under 120 bucks and I get to do it myself.
