FridgeFreezer Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Call me cynical but I'm not 100% convinced that "Plantomot" really does perform as well as Mobil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbarton Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I'd be interested to know what level of product liabilty insurance they have. I tried cooking oil as a lubricant in my fridge compressor project and it gummed it all up good and proper. Fridge motors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRecklessEngineer Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I know of a few people using this stuff. No problems is all I heard... It isn't veggy oil...it is oil designed to lubricate, that is bio-degradable and doesn't react with any veggy that might make it into the sump when you are running on the stuff. Normal engine oil polymerises with veggy. Not sure what it is made from though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discodave Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 plantomot is made by fuchs who also make silkolene lubricants, although i couldnt find a link to plantomot on their website which is a little strange. more tech stuff here - http://www.dieselveg.com/PLANTOMOT.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
