Lubricating oil is used to reduce friction between moving parts and to prevent damage due to excess heat. Lubricating oil also carries away sludge preventing the erosion of moving parts.

Is lubricating oil used as a fuel?

Lubricating oil is not typically used as a fuel; its primary purpose is to reduce friction and wear in engines and machinery.

This practice requires proper treatment to remove contaminants and ensure safe combustion. Overall, while lubricating oil can be repurposed as fuel, it is not its intended use.

Can a lubricating oil purifier be used as a diesel oil purifier?

No! It will not work as a purifier works using central fugalforce (spins dirty fuel to the outside). Lubricating oil is heavier so it cant be used. On marine purifiers any dirty fuel is dumped into a sludge tank after the sensor realises there is more than 15 parts per million. If you were to use lubricating oil the sensor will dump all of it as it is too thick.
