Update : Engine oil vs cooking oil

I just get my car back today from the workshop. I had full service for the car. Previously I'm using cooking oil as the engine oil based on Rohaizad's :Pengalaman sebenar menggunakan minyak masak sawit sebagai minyak hitam kereta. This time, I've been told by the mechanic to use original synthetic 4T engine oil.
Why?

• The car has oil seal leaking before and it worsen. When they opened it, the oil seals already come off. Based on the mechanic, this is because the cooking oil is not thick enough, make it very thin and slippery.
  
• The palm oil already get into the clutch plate. He says, even the clutch plate washed, it will slips if it is reused, because the palm oil already absorbed in.

The clutch plate need to be replaced with the new one while actually its still good and can be use for quite a long period. One part wasted, which cost me RM 188.00


This time I'm not using the cooking oil as the engine oil. The mechanic advised me not to save few dollars but spend more at the end. Me.... I am stubborn. I'd like to use it again in the future. My analysis : it is not because of the quality of the palm oil, it is because I've been using it for too long (3 months ++), without changing to the new one.

Silly me..
