Yes. In fact it must burn pure waste oil or transfluid etc. They can be blended but antifreeze is a definite no.

Also, when using synthetic oils (if separated) result in more carbon buildup when run on lower temps. The mfg suggests holding such oil for coldest part of winter where furnace is likely burned at higher Btu's.

Lots to learn but probably any sharing needs to be done elsewhere.
