Can you use Honey as Engine Oil? Let's find out!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 พ.ย. 2018
- Many viewers requested we test honey or maple syrup as engine oil. So, what will happen to an engine if honey is used in place of engine oil? In a previous video, we tested sugar in gas and the engine survived. Will the engine survive this time? Obviously, you'd never want to do this to any engine. However, many viewers have been on the receiving end of spiteful deeds, such as this. Also, if you were in an extreme emergency and had to choose between using honey and nothing at all in the crankcase of an engine, would honey be better than nothing? Things get interesting in this video when Marvel Mystery Oil and Seafoam deep creep is used to "save the engine". Will MMO and Seafoam be able to help?

*Puts honey in crank case*
"I dont wanna kill this engine"
lol. Thanks
*surprised pikachu*
😂
You never wanna see brown crispy substance on your dipstick, that means your engine's burning honey
@@JarrettWilliams99 "that means your engine's burning honey"
I'm laughing so hard rn
The fact the engine lasted 25 minutes on honey is pretty crazy and the fact he got it running again is insane! Awesome job.
Amazing, isn't it! Thanks for watching.
It might have run longer with nothing but oil residue in it.
@@kevinnielsen1356 I was wondering that, too. You'd think that even after draining the oil, there would be, at least, a think film of oil left behind. I wonder how long that coating would hold up before catastrophic failure.
@@atomicagegamer3693 In the early seventies my best friends dad junked his Toyota Carolla. We decided to kill it. We drained the engine oil, started it up, put a brick on the gas pedal for about half throttle and let it run. After about 15min we decided it must be a good engine and stopped the experiment. We put oil back in it and my best friend drove it to high school for almost a year. Something else broke and he stopped driving it.
@@atomicagegamer3693 At idle, about 15 minutes or so. Under load, or higher RPMs, it can only last for 30 seconds or maybe even less before it becomes laboured and seized
He started his lawnmower on honey... I can’t even start mine on GAS
lol Thanks for the feedback.
@Justinian Yi it was just for the joke
@@ProjectFarm can you mix honey to 90% engin oil, 10% honey oil. That should allow some wear and tear to be visible.
Yo Jake check your lawnmower's oil. Older lawnmowers sometimes have never had their oil changed... That can cause lots and lots of issues.
Until it cools off. Then a solid sugar block.
My Father was a master mechanic for 35 years, learning his craft in the Navy. I ended up being the best "gofor" in the history of engine repair, learning next to nothing about engine repair. I'm 52 years old now, he is long gone and I can honestly say, you have more patience with me than he ever did. :D . Thanks for the great videos.

Is mayonnaise an engine oil???
Thanks for the video idea!
Eric John. No Eric mayonnaise isn’t a engine oil
Horseradish is not an engine oil either.
Nor is ketchup.
Yeah uh, we're with the pet hospital down the street and I understand that you have a dying animal on the premises... *slams door*
Awesome video! Didn't know this one existed! these "short" videos are fun and a great idea!
Thanks so much!
You did a lot of hard work for this video mate.I appreciate that 👍👍❤️
Thanks so much!
Test the effects of very thick oil, e.g. 20W-50, to see if it will restore compression and engine performance on a very worn engine.
Great video idea! Thank you
I had a 79 f150 with a worn out 400m, had next to no oil pressure with 10w30 and was loud internally. I didn't go that extreme but i changed the 10w30 out for 15w40 diesel oil and it quieted things down and raised the oil pressure. Did the same with my old 88 dodge with a knocking 318 and it helped quiet it down. Power from both felt roughly the same. didn't test compression
Kevin Deininger
Yeah, I use SAE 30 in small, and air-cooled engines.
@@souljahroch2519 Are you able to crank them in Winter conditions?
@@tsd560ti6 Once you cut a path through the frozen oil, sure... but it's gonna be a bear. If it never shuts down you could do it, but for a tractor or something stored outside, I wouldn't
I wonder if packing the crank case full of grease would work...🤔🤔
Thanks for the video idea!
It will not lubricate the cylinder walls
If you use cheap grease it will surprise you! Good high temp grease will not lube piston until it gets above 550 but by then the engine is pretty much gone if not already.
I have done this with wheel bearing grease. Went great for 3 yard mows. Then I added 80/140 diff oil and it went for ages no issues. It made the grease disappear. Drained it all and ran dry til it eventually destroyed itself. Super clean inside the crankcase when I pulled it down.
Your smile always make me smile! Thank you for making these videos!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for doing the research and letting us watch! This channel is so cool
You are welcome!
Bacon grease for engine oil, please. 🙂👍
Great video idea! Thank you
@@ProjectFarm, more than anything, I'm curious what the crankcase gases would smell like. Lol
lol. I can only imagine!
that would be some good smelling fumes right there
Agreed! delicious, crispy crankcase smoke .
His Craigslist ad- "I've got a sweet little mower for sale"

lolololol!!!!
Ran when parked
It's a honey of a deal!
Used very little
Thank you for posting such fun experiments.

You didn't add pumpkin spice.
lol. That explains why the engine seized. Live and learn. lol
Oh snap! With the spice, one controls it all! :)

Can you use engine oil as honey? Let's find out!
Mmmmmmm tasty
Can you use honey as engine?
This actually been done literally. :( just look up engine oil "lady cooking with motor oil"
mmm....lots of minerals....totally organic! *dies instantly*
Auto is dead
A liquid metal polishing compound in the crankcase would be interesting
Great test idea!
What about liquid metal iself? Like the one that is used as thermal compound for computers
Second that. I've always wondered what effect the polishing compounds I use on vehicle exteriors would have if they got inside the engines.
@@eduardoavila646 I suggested another liquid metal thing a while back, pouring some gallium into the carb while the engine is running. see how fast it alloys with the aluminum and makes the whole engine melt
RickBaconsAdventures Yeah! And also in another engine, maybe another liquid metal that doesnt react that much?
Great video as always. I thought sure that engine was done when it looked like it seized. Great job getting it going again.
Thanks for watching

Run a engine with heavy-duty gearbox fluid (80W-90)
Great test idea! Thank you
FreddyXP
Prediction: it'll run just fine. Gear oil and engine oil use a different viscosity scale, 80w90 gear oil is roughly the same viscosity a 20w50 engine oil.
Think I tried this when I was younger and dumber, I remember the stench of hypoid...
Project Farm I just took a Kohler 12 hp out of a cub cadet that burned a half quart of 90-140 in 30 minutes. But it still pushed snow out of my driveway
I knew a guy who did this in an attempt to regain oil pressure in a worn out motor. ('49 Ford I think). As I recall either one of the connecting rods broke or it through a rod. The oil was too thick to flow into the tight tolerances of the bearings and what not.
3:31 Damn! That lawnmower had more backfire than a Honda that sounds like a lawnmower 🤣
Thank you!
Looks like the mower we had in shop class.
That was about 45 years ago.
Enjoyed.
Thank you for the feedback
Awesome experiment, enjoyed your enthusiasm most of all.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Kill it by spraying it with water once its up to operating tempersture. Or submerge it while running, simulating a dip in the farm pond & see if the water cracks the case...
Great video idea!
Would be cool to see an engine running underwater with snorkels
water on hot metal wont cause a crack. I mean don't u think engines would be detonating every time it rained? never mind motor cross bikes atv's and all off road vehicles that cross rivers? boat motors etc etc.
bobspurloc it’s not the temperature difference that causes the crack, granted it’s not good for hot metal to touch cold water it won’t be catastrophic. The point is once the water enters the cylinder by the intake stroke it closed and the piston rises trying to compress the water. Water does not compress and all the pressure can break rods and or crack the case.
well usually an engine has stalled by the time the cylinder is going to fill with water as the exhaust gets shut down. tossing a running engine in water isn't going to instantly suck water into the cylinder. like I said, we would have engines jettisoning left and right offroading. ive submerged my dirt bike several times, it will stall wait before cylinders fill. no liquids compress hence why fuel injectors that gets stuck open will destroy a cylinder. that's how eric the car guy snapped a ring...
I was really surprised it ran as long as it did.
I was surprised too.
It did well, lawnmower engines are made to survive years of abuse and neglect.
I hope to live a life that leads me to a point where I’m forced to choose between death or adding honey as engine oil
I like that the engine was restorable. It is interesting the abuse an engine can take and be restored to function.
Did honey work better than no oil?
It's definitely gonna run a lot sweeter, whatever engine you use it in.
Here hold my 🍺 my Corvette will drink to that.
Golden!
a powder type lubricant like graphite would be interesting, maybe suspended in water
Great test idea! Thank you
or perhaps acetone or rubbing alcohol. i know graphite mixed with acetone is used to carry the graphite down things like speedometer cables since the "carrier" will evaporate and leave only dry graphite, that way the spinning cable won't work liquid oil up into the speedo connection. i only mention that because it's a common use for a graphite and liquid mixture, i'm not sure if graphite+water is used for anything
Great idea pencil graphite
I see you guys are too young to remember ARCO Graphite motor oil. That was exactly the idea there.
Wouldn't graphite plug the oil filter (depending on the micron size of the filter material).
"looks like caramel" had me LOL. Awesome video.
Thank you 😋
Really enjoyed this video
Glad you enjoyed it
Graphite powder as oil? Its a super neat idea
Great test idea! Thank you
Yes!
What about hitting the engine with a 100hp dry nos shot?
Great video idea! Thank you
o_O
It go boom!
Project Farm do it!
That much NO2 would just stall the engine. This is a 5 HP engine, max, so that much NO2 would just dump back out the carb. Movies always portray NO2 or Oxygen as explosive, but neither gas is even flammable.
One of my favorite videos now.
Your videos speak to the durability of lawnmower engines as much as they do to the lubricating qualities of various substances!
Great point! Thank you
In the movie Matilda, the father is a dodgy used car salesman, and says putting sawdust in the oil makes it run smooth for a few miles... 😃
He also put it in the gearbox and drove them backwards for a few hundred miles. Was a huge fan of the book and movie growing up
Thanks for the video idea!
I had always heard Sawdust in the gear-box of a differential... not the engine.
I support saw dust test.have always wondered what it would actually do to an engine. Granted the splash system in a small engine is different from the pressure system in a car. That would also play a factor in the results.also worth pointing out that a car engine has an oil filter.
Putting it in a rear end is an old trick to quiet the gears
I've heard some people use gunpowder as oil. Can you try it?
Knuckles #2761 rip him lmao
na na na nitroglycerine XD
maby amfo
chill FBI just a joke
😁
Lol dude it’s a powder that ain’t gonna work...this made me laugh real hard
BUT if you want a time bomb you may continue
I think that you meant nitroglycerin 😉
I thought this was going to be a plain ridiculous video idea, but I ended up learning a thing or 2. Thanks for all the well done videos!

I tried running pumpkin pie in my crankcase, the motor seized up, but it smelled heavenly.
lol
lmaooo

Great work and a lot of fun to watch 😀👍
Thank you 👍
Thank you for the video

See if you can run an engine with only penetrating fluid in the crankcase. Would be interesting to see how much of it sneaks past the piston rings
Great test idea! Thank you

Maybe heavy corn syrup works better. :-)
lol. Great point! You've got a great TH-cam channel.
electronicsNmore
That was corn syrup. Pure honey crystalizes at refrigerator, or below temps. Careful what you eat...
Many, many years ago, a mechanic related a story about opening up a seized engine. He said that when he unbolted the oil pan, it wouldn't come loose. He ended up wedging a pry bar in one side and forcing it deep enough to lever the pan away from the block. It was so stuck that it was ruined getting it loose. Once the bottom of the engine was open, he was stunned by the horrible condition he saw. He said it looked like it was coated with lava. He made some inquiries and found out that the source of the ruination was syrup. The owner of the truck said he noticed a couple of empty syrup bottles by the truck, but didn't think anything of it. As it turned out, an old 'friend' had a reason to want to give a little payback. The bottles were left on purpose. He knew that the guy would eventually put two and two together and realize that the syrup was put in the engine. If he had realized it before running the engine, it could have been drained out. Once it was pumped through the engine and heated, the engine's fate was sealed (pun intended). I have used Karo syrup a couple times when appropriate. Life's rough.
electronicsNmore seems to be working for us Americans just fine you know besides just the usual obesity and heart attacks no big deal...
Yea I would love to see the corn syrup reaction. Always knew about sugar in the engine. As seen before the gas doesn't react as much until it hits the internal chamber of the cylinder wall.
Awesome vids! Do you have one where you rate the best metal protectant for rust?
I really loved your videos
Thanks!
"the engine caught fire but survived fine" Okay...
Thank you!
Must have been made by Toyota
Doubt my comment will ever be seen but I have a thing of "engine overhaul pellets" from like the 1970's that I would love to see used on this motor to see if it works to restore its compression.
Great test idea! I'd love to test them on an engine. I've got another engine that would be a better candidate. The rings on this one are sticking badly from the contamination. If you're willing to send them, my address is:
Project Farm
PO Box 162
Peculiar, MO 64078
Please let me know if you decide to mail the pellets. Thanks again!
Nice of you to get back to me so quickly. I dont know much about them and even searching for them don't yield that much. They were given to me by my Dad and they may be older than 1990's even. The package is for 8 cylinders but it ripped open at one point and is missing some of the pellets. Ill dig it up and let you know when its in the mail. Love the channel and all the work you put into it!
PostalRedneck are these the “fuel catalyst” things that were doing the rounds at one point? When the U.K. got rid of leaded petrol there were a lot of snake oil products going round claiming to protect the valve seats. Many were useless, some actually harmful. I’d rather see them tested in a mower engine than anything you need to get to work.
@@WineScrounger Not sure if I can post links but if I can there will be a link to the product here --------> www.thejunkmanadv.com/the-junk-mans-blog/mechanic-in-a-can. They are little balls that you put into the cylinder though the spark plug hole. They are light gray in color. Dont know much about them.
@@ProjectFarm So I did some resource and these are from the 1950-1970. Perhaps thats the reason I can find nothing on them. If you are positive you will do a video on them I would love to send them to you but if you dont think you will I would like to keep them but believe me I love the channel and I want to see these things used and documented and I want to support your ever growing channel.

You cannot make caramel from honey silly.
Love your channel! Last night I had a dream where you made one for hose clamps... Without a clamp, harbor freight clamps, aviation grade clamps, those wire clamps, spring clamps, one made with a ClampTite, etc. Pressurized each one until they failed. Not that clamps fail very often but would be fun to watch them give out!

Marvel mystery oil has dichlorobenzene, which can't be good for you. If you do that you will end up on Chubbyemu's channel.
Yes officer this comment right here
I'm just trying to imagine a situation where you have nothing else to use at all or honey.
Just like... Stuck in middle of a desert, a gallon of honey and a few bottles of water. Your oil evaporated. What will you do??? Find out in the next episode of : Stranded in the desert with a gallon of honey and water and a car with no oil. hahaha
I really enjoyed the episode as always, thanks a lot!

What about butter as engine oil?
Thanks for the video idea!
I like the bacon grease idea!
@@ProjectFarm - Ghee (clarified butter) might be a good video idea. Ghee is essentially refined butter and you can make it yourself. The higher smoke point, lower dissolved solids, and lower phase change point should make it much easier to work with and might stand a fighting chance. --- If you had a farm with dairy cows you could make it from scratch after the apocalypse to keep your engines lubricated maybe, haha.
