Title: Oil
Post by: CBH on 08 July 2008, 14:01:30

Just a point of interest what is the different between oil for a diesel engine and oil for petrol engine. Is it just the diesel oil have different additives.
I was offered some good synthetic oil for free but it was for diesel, so had to pass.

Due to better diesel engines and very good synthetic oils petrol oil and diesel oil is now the same. The only thing you need to know is if your engine needs a semi synthetic or a super synthetic 5/30 or 10/30 oil etc etc.
