- Thu Aug 20, 2009 6:43 pm #139025 say you had a slow leak and you were driving through the desert and you see your oil pressure light come on. Dipstick is dry and there's No stores/gas stations around, cell phone is dead.

If you had a few qts of auto tranny fluid in your trunk, what would happen if you put that in your motor?

What about power steering fluid?

What if you only had vegetable oil? Would that be better than little/no oil in the motor?

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

- Thu Aug 20, 2009 9:43 pm #139038 well if i was in the desert id try anything .....but i believe the tranny fliud and vegatable oil would both work the veg oil i think the rpms have to stay real low ... not sure tho maybe it wouldnt .. have no idea about the power steering fluid . beats dieing tho . lol

- Thu Aug 20, 2009 9:47 pm #139039 i would assume both would easily get past the rings, but you know assumeing does.

- Fri Aug 21, 2009 8:16 pm #139173 haha...i like that tool box


i dont think it has any of the proper lubricating properties that engine oil has so it might work for another couple miles after you cooled it down, but doubt it would go too far

- Sat Aug 22, 2009 12:22 am #139201 i saw that video on youtube where they drained the honda motor of oil, filled it with water, took off the header, and were reving the shit out of it to blow it up and it kept on keeping on. fuck it. hondas dont need oil.

Race cars are like boats I guess. Time to bust out another thousand.

- Mon Aug 24, 2009 1:02 am #139441 Vegetable oil would work better than ATF. Simply because the AFT has an extreme thinning effect on oil and sludge, it would both clean and cause excessive wear to the engine. It wouldn't help the condition of the various seals and o-rings within the engine either.

Vegetable based oil (Castor oil), was used in the WW1 era radial aircraft engines, and in the automobiles used in that era as well.

Basically, whichever you use, you had better be ready to rebuild your engine when you get home...

- Mon Aug 24, 2009 7:54 pm #139582 You'd have to driveat least three hours from any major city to get to a desert in Texas.
