@Kecessa pointed us to a video of Project Farm checking it, and it turns out soy bean vegetable oil worked great, except in very cold conditions:

So, not so dumb. As long as she gets an oil change well before winter, she, and the engine, will probably be just fine.

A lawnmower and a car use very different oils and running something for a short time is very different than under loads for extended periods of time.

It is dumb to use cooking oils in a car engine.
