I took a visit it castrol Bp development centre a few months ago, and was chatting to one of the lab techs there who was testing an oil sample,  all i can say is if you see what happens when the veg oil mixes with the engine oil.... you wouldn't touch the stuff!  With the natural leak down and mixing of the two, it does nasty things to the engine oil.  I had no idea, but sure put me off.
