In A waste oil furnace can you burn synthetic oil?
Synthetic oil will burn in a waste oil furnace, however you have to keep in mind that it does have a higher flash point. There are a few ways to make it work. Energylogic Waste Oil furnaces advertise that they will burn synthetic. Other salespeople may claim that their furnaces can, but they are going against what the manufacturer says. So if you are going to be generating a lot of synthetic, this should be your only choice. The flash point of synthetic goes down with use. At a BMW dealership we are burning 100% synthetic with no problems. Because they run their oil changes at 15,000 miles the synthetic oil is thoroughly broken down and the flash point for 250 degrees. Finally you can dilute your synthetic oil with something with a lower flash point. This could be diesel, ATF, or normal oil. Ben - Great Lakes Cleaning Systems www.GreatLakesCleaningSystems.com
