This came up in part when I Goggled sulfur as a lubricant in diesel fuel......
"Cooking oils boost low sulfur diesel fuel and engine lubricant performance...Penn State engineers have shown that adding specially treated cooking oils, such as soybean, canola or sunflower oil, to mandated low sulfur diesel fuels and engine lubricants reduces friction and wear."
Lots of info and studies out there. Buyer beware ;)
How many of them are in referred scientific / technical journals that rank in the 1st and 2nd tier of journals in the field of tribology?
Last I heard, none of those journals recently published a peer reviewed, refereed study on the lubricating properties of snake oil.
