RE: Diesel OIL, need opinions

You have nothing to gain by using a diesel motor oil, Craig. The chemical engineers who screw together these hydrocarbon chains and mix their additive packages do so with the intent of meeting very specific criteria. The diesel motor oil won't offer any reliability or longevity gains for you as their packages are designed to deal with byproducts of diesel combustion that don't exist in gasoline engines...particularly the soots and sulpher that need to be held in suspension or inhibited from contaminating the lubricating oil. Gasoline engines have additive packages that work for them and, sometimes, gasoline oils may be compatable for diesels. Neither of the oils are more duarable than the other, it's just that each is designed to do their thing in the engine platform they were designed to work in.
This thread, so far...
