To stay on subject,
A few air leak problems don't begin to compare with IP or engine failure by running cold wvo in a cold engine.
Forced Induction has said many times, these engines were designed to run on #2 Dino diesel. All of the internal specs of the IP, injectors, engine internals... etc are designed to use that specific fuel with it's corresponding viscosity - lubricity and thermal characteristics.
That said, one has two choices, either convert the oil to be more like #2 by converting it into biodiesel OR changing the oil's characteristics by heating it to lower it's viscosity and bring the engine up to operating temp prior to injecting it.
It isn't magic. It's mechanics and physics. If your car is disposable to you then you MAY get several thousand miles on unheated wvo/one tank system. Or depending the condition of your IP and engine internals....... you may get to go car shopping sooner than you think.
That being said, I am more emotional about it than most. To me it IS about NOT contributing to big oil any longer than I have to. The hospital where I worked on 9/11 sent a disaster team to x-ray bits and pieces to determine identities. Two of my nephews are fighting in Iraq.
If I don't become the change I seek for our future, how can I expect others to change first!
