So say you burned oil instead of diesel for a year, if you filled up your truck once a week at say 25 gallons at 4 bucks , that's 5200 dollars isn't it? I failed algebra but I'm pretty sure that would cover my 2000 dollar engine...

for me its about once every two to three weeks. i only drive about 25 to 30 miles a day

in one year i could spend about $2250+ on fuel if i wasn't running black diesel

this would cover the cost of injectors and maybe a new CP3 every year if i had too. fortunately my LB7 made it to about 120K mikes before injectors where needed. granted i only had it for the last 50K miles, but still at this rate i could be pocketing 6 grand even after new injectors & CP3

short story long, i will continue running WMO in my truck

here is an interesting tread on WMO and centrifuges

Why Centrifuge? - Diesel Forum - TheDieselStop.com

seems most dont like RUG but mine "loves" it when it thin with it. no gray exhaust with the RUG, only without

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

^^ oh, and i forgot to mention...

i have EFI Live with the 5 position switchable tunes. two of my positions are for when i run WMO. PSI & timing differences. this may explain why mine runs just like diesel and hardly even smokes. i could easily pass one of those diesel "smog checks" on WMO
