So basically like 0w20, gotcha
Uh huh. Uh huh. Uh huh.
I think he meant to say "basically exactly like any weight motor oil appears to the naked eye at the engine's operating temperature"

The Russians learned this lesson in a big way a few decades ago. Engineers got creative and designed a new submarine reactor cooled by "liquid metal," in this case, a mix of lead and bismuth, and installed it in their new "Alfa class" subs. Seven built, the first retired after less than one year -- guess why. . .
At least a mess of bacon grease isn't radioactive when you try to clean it up!

Serendipity!
I simply MUST figure out a way to start running this stuff in my car!
Then if anyone asks what oil I prefer to run in The Bacon Hauler, I can say with a straight face, "Bacon Grease, you dummy!"

To season a cast iron skillet
That is a use for it.
I think in the world of car and truck engines, "seasoning" is generally referred to as "heavy varnish."

I just saw this and it's pretty amazing how clean that engine looked after an hour running the bacon grease!
