What problems could occur by using olive oil to lubricate an automobile/motorcycle engine?

What problems will occur?


In short order, some component in the engine will fail, destroying the engine.


I suspect this will take less than an hour.


Olive oil is not to be used as an engine lubricant.

Engine oil is made to create a barrier to keep metal from touching metal. It's viscosity and stabilizers make it able to handle high heat and close tolerance. Olive oil will boil off and leave 0 protection. Not to mention make a mess of anything that doesn't actually break.

there is a phrase in my country Oils ant Oils





I own 5 classic Motorcycles and a 1964 220SB Mercedes Benz





and after doing my homework i can use GTX but not GTX 2 or 3 why because of the low to no Zinc in the make up of the Oil





olive oil caster oil is just oil Motor oil is Not just oil





shell racing is also better for older Engines has the highest ratio of Zinc


it is not just the oil it is also the additives that give engine protection





wrong oil higher fuel consumption Bearings failure and Piston overheating
Some older motorcycles (and First World War aircraft) used a total loss system, rather than olive oil they used castor oil 鈥?the total loss system meant the riders and pilots got to inhale the used castor oil with unfortunate results.
Olive oil smokes and then becomes sticky at relatively low temperatures. Don't put it in machinery, and don't cook with it.
Loss of viscosity and engine failure
