What plant does the oil come from? What does it titrate at? The answer to these two questions would tell you volumes as far as the "Is it any good?" question is concerned.


'93 Chevy K3500 w/6.5 turbo, 4x4. 11k miles on bio and counting.
'02 Ford F350 4 Door Short-Bed w/7.3 Powerstroke. 7k miles on bio.

The plant is soy bean, but it is processed in a different way. I know soy is fine however I looked into the oil and found this:

Not sure if they were doing something wrong or not. Titration is unknown, they are dumping 20 gal tomorrow and I hope to grab a sample Friday.

Asoyia is actually the company that the farmers set up to grow and sell the oil from this type of soybean. I think they are from Iowa or something.
I would get the oil and titrate it and test it for water. If it titrates low and doesn't have a lot of water in it you are good to go.
