One thing I have not seen discussed anywhere, (maybe I'm just looking in the wrong spot) is whether or not running B100 makes any difference to the amount of soot collected in the engine oil.

As biodiesel is cleaner burning, with more detergent properties etc., etc., Doesn't it follow that there will be less carbon or soot to be collected in the oil. Maybe not immediately but at least after running it for a while, say a couple of oil changes?

Has anyone had any oil analysis done comparing dinodiesel to biodiesel, or have any other ideas regarding oil change intervals?
