Default what would happen if....

you poured a quart of dishwashing soap in your oil???

like would it suds up from all the friction and being thrown everywhere or would your engine start smoking because the soap would burn?

would it completely destroy your engine????




p.s. i would never try this nor do i know anyone who would i am simply wondering the results that would occur

I would have never thought to ask that, but now that you did, I'm really curious.








Can I borrow your car for a minute?..

Next person scrapping out a car with a good running engine should give it a try.

Haven't you guys ever used dish soap to wash your hands after working on your car because it gets them so clean? Dish soap is designed to break down oil and grease. You put a quart of it in your oil and it will destroy any lubricating properties that your oil has and destroy your motor right along with it.

Not only will it have a thinning effect on the oil, but it will foam up as it goes through the pump(this is why oils have anti-foaming agents in them). The pump would cavitate and the pressure in the system would collapse and you'd be left with thinned out oil with 0 pressure, the engine would die. And there's no way to know how the soap would react to the bearing materials, it may be corrosive to them.
