Not that bad an idea Rob really....BUT...you can see the advantages...now look at the disadvantages..
The viscosity is a little on the heavy side...your pump will be straining a bit
What a reet mess you will be in.... it'll be all up the walls.... all over you....all over the floor...the dog'll walk in it..tread it into the house...jump on the bed.....
What about the smell? AND don't say you can bath him!!
I feel a divorce coming on!!
Do YOU know of any engineering companies that use it? 45 years in the Oil Business and I don't .
It has been done though I do know
As a lubricant...it's fat...so got to be ok..... but get it hot and you will be coat everything with gummy "Chip Fat"... smells ok though.
Use the proper gear..see my article today on Coolants
R
IF you really do want to go down the neat oil avenue...I'll be glad to advise...but..... be it on your head
ps I've just save you have HALF you own :-)
