[Vwdiesel] Non-diesel oil in diesel engine

[gary]

Jon,
As long as the weight is correct, just run it for a while and consider
it a flush.

Just remember, since it is not diesel rated, it won't hold as much soot
in suspension or have as much zinc in it(a high pressure lubricant)

Just don't let it stay in there for too long!
