    Hear me out: given a choice between running the engine completely dry of oil, and using vegetable oil, which would be worse?

    Given a choice between being impaled on a rusty fence and being shot, which would be worse?

    The vegetable oil is going to gum things up. I guess you’re looking at an engine replacement either way.

    Yup.

        A lawnmower and a car use very different oils and running something for a short time is very different than under loads for extended periods of time.

        It is dumb to use cooking oils in a car engine.
