I read somewhere that this product CANNOT be used to extract hot oil from an engine, or it will be damaged? True or false?

I would not want to use it say, after you just drove a dozen miles across town or on the freeway. It probably would be a little hard on the seals. Take the car around the block maybe or let it run for a few minutes to thin the oil a bit. Then do your oil change.

I have been using it to extract hot oil from my lawnmower immediately after mowing the yard and didn't notice any ill effects.

Not true. But best to wait until the oil cools down somewhat, otherwise you risk getting hot oil onto your hands.

Yes, this is essentially pure petroleum that can be used in any application where motor oil is used. Try this or try running Mobil 1 High Mileage in your generator. That made a world of difference in my father's generator.

It should be able to be used in any systems that use a straight hydraulic or universal hydraulic oil. It does increase the viscosity which helps if pumps or seals are a little worn, but will not help major defects. Also be careful what percentage is used, especially if used in very cold weather - it can cause systems to be over pressurized. 5-10% should be OK. 10-20% use caution when cold.

Gillermo ... you are 100%, absolutely, positively correct about WD40 ... It's not a lubricant, far from it. We used it to loosen stuck/rusted head bolts on engines. How WD40 ever got the reputation as a lubricant is beyond me. Just wanted to validate your honest answer. Peace. : )

WD40 is not a good solution for any mechanical parts as it is NOT a lubricant. It will eventually gum up and cause even more issues. Use a good 3 in 1 oil and you'll be golden.

I used it with high viscosity oil. Not sure if there would be a spark concern.

Have never needed to use oil,I really like this product,it's rare any more for me to find something that works like it claims.I do not see oil doing any harm to this product.

It works ok on gas engines, but the oil must be hot. Not much oil left behind. Not recomended for Diesel engines or boat stern drives.

From my understanding it can be used in any cumbustable engine without doing harm or anything to the warranty of the vehicle but for peace of mind call the dealer where you purchased the vehicle from and they would be the better expert to answer that question.

I wouldn't recommend it, the bottle says: People unfamiliar w/properties can reference~ www.natures-oil.com for safety and usage information

I dont think so. but why you need to cool the engine oil? Engine oil is made to handle extreme heat. Just change the oil regularly, then you will be fine. On a side note, this Mishimoto cooler is designed for FLUID, not OIL, so I dont think it will work, since fluid and oil are different in many ways.

They are so proud of it , it dosen't say. It will only use water based solvent, not very good for cleaning car parts unless it's hot. I put mineral based solvent in mine and burned the motor out in a day.

I believes it is better suited for other applications. My experience, a lot more volatile chems and highPressure washer on hot day is best for that issue! No expert, just my experienced!

Hi Remrie,I have tried a bottle of this liquid,on an aluminium headed engine and one with a cast steel head and seems to work ok ,is there a reason why you ask?

Incidental contact with gasoline will not be a problem. As for heat, well how hot is hot? I'm sure you could melt it/burn it with Propane or MAPP gas, if you're thinking of using on engine parts things other than exhaust manifolds should be fine. As always proper surface prep is key.

If it is the pan I would say no. Need to use something like JB Weld. If its the gasket maybe, but only after cleaning off all the oil first.
