As far as the diesel oil debate, it is personal choice and what people are comfortable with. There is one good debate though. Since diesel engines are not designed for high revs, you do wonder if diesel oil would provide adequate protection in a gasoline engine pushing 5k to 6k+ revs! I can see an argument there.

How does the oil know how many RPM's its going?
