Temp:
Vegie oil =s diesel viscosity @ 190*F. Blending to 20% (V80) brings it down to roughly 160*F. My goal is 190*F from the coolant loop & suplimental electric heating.
Oil Dilution:
I agreee & plan on 3000 mile changes on Rotilla. IMHO most dilution is in starting & stoping often. This hazzard should be reduced on trips.

Good point on switching from B100 to diesel & back. I have a degree in Ag. Eng. & listened to speach / paper often quoted on the lubrication effects of B100 / blends / diesel & I use B50 for that reason. Thanks for the review on the swelling issue.

As far as being anal:
I'm a licensed boiler operator & pyrotechnician ... ya, I'm anal when it counts.
