I was thinking about the insane 2007 diesel regulations (even vw won't import diesels for the year I'm told), and sure there's benefits- the particulate filter and the fading reputation that diesels are dirty nasty beasts.
That aside, I was wondering if it's suitable as an engine break-in oil, not that I have a fresh engine ready to be installed, but for future reference. Also I was wondering if anyone tried using diesel oil in gasoline engines and had bad experiences. I did use the search button and find that International had some issues with exhaust valves in gasoline engines whilst running diesel oil.
I decided not to breathe new life with my questions into an ancient post, so here's a new one.
thanks,
Matt
p.s. the new CJ-4 diesel oil is better for everyday use in diesels I'm sure- formulated for better viscosity and reduced contamination, where I'm not sure if I should use that or keep using semi-syntheric gasoiline engine oil.
