Changing oil is over-rated. Just burn it all off and then add fresh oil.
I prefer to be boating rather than spend my time on mundane maintenance issues.
Also:
You can save a lot of money by going to your local Greasy Spoon and getting the French Fry oil.
Those guys are happy to get rid of it, and it's better for the environment. re-cycling is the way to go. Just run it through a coffee filter to get rid of the burnt potatoes first.

the best oil I have found is Virgin Olive Oil

Except it is hard to find an Italian Girl named Olive nowadays.

Remember Mitch stated his method and included a caveat that most would not like it. Works for him.

End of story

Thats what I was sayin' to Paul. Nevermind all that soda lye and methanol, cook it in a water heater BS. B-100 is dangerous. Just burn the WVO in those 4 stroke Cummins. He could get it from Chinese restaurants and change the name on the F-36 to "Eggroll". :P

I have the Saran wrap, Crisco, cooking oil from all the local marina's, my boats in the air and tilted 45 degrees. I have a hole in the bottom and a turkey in the oven.

Now which one is real solution???
