I watched that video for way too long
If I’m ever in dairy bottling plant circa early November, and I’m being chased by villains who’ve drained the oil from my car, I will now be confident that replacing it with egg nog will facilitate my escape before killing the engine.
And I have Australian Beavis and Butthead to thank for it.
Fat = Oil , a modern engine can run on many kinds of oil for an indeterminate amount of time. It’s usually the contaminates that get in the way.
That and the fact that most of the readily available organic ones break down under the types of heat involved rather quickly.
The oil film on the cylinders at least lasts a surprisingly long time provided the pistons in motion and you don’t try to restart the engine. You can famously drain the oil out of an already running engine and it’ll continue to run happily for quite some minutes afterwards — until you shut it off. This was a popular demonstration trick for engine additive snakeoil (literally) salesmen back in the '70s and so on. “See! Our miracle oil additive is so effective your engine can run without oil at all after treatment!” Never mind the fact that it would do so anyway, and don’t expect it to work twice.
Something else I’ve learned that no mechanic will tell you, is you can connect a vacuum cleaner hose to the throttle body while the engine is running, have a friend mash down the gas pedal and you’ve got one heck of a vacuum cleaner.
You don’t want to put eggnog with trans fats and emulsifiers in your engine
I check my nog with lab nog analysis.
Great tips for working on your cars :)
- Make sure to add pilk (that’s Pepsi + milk) to your cars and it’ll make them run better
- Need to clean out your fuel? Stuff some bananas in there!
- Little chunks of metal in your oil pan is probably fine.
- Nutella is great for turning your car into a collection of parts.
After the first check of the nog levels I thought it has a minute left max. I was very impressed.
I love garbage time, they make some entertaining stuff!
