In general they do not burn well ------ and leave a lot of ASH in combustion
chamber and Exhaust.
Granted it's an assumption on my part but I always figured there was
MUCH less ash and carbon with synthetic oil. As you go up in quiality
of dino oil, you get much less ambering, coking, and so on. I know a
guy who used synthetic to clean up an engine that was burning a lot of
oil. Apparently it was able to free up the rings without adding to the
problem until the rings were free. Then he switched back, no big oil
consumption.

Don't think I've ever seen a diesel with diluted oil. You'll burn a hole
in the
piston before you dilute the oil too much. Unless you're running with a
near zero compression cylinder. Still not likely to dilute like a gasser
with a dead plug.

Scuse me but that's one of the dumbest things I've heard recommended
here. Really cheap dino will crap up a gas engine nearly as well as
corn syrup would. Good way to destroy a diesel. If you refer to using
the cheapest diesel grade oil, then that's not really cheap dino. It's still
some of the best dino oil you can buy.
I tore down a Cadillac that used cheap oil, changed regularly. There were
SHEETS of carbon in that engine.

I'll open my mouth again here. I've never seen him push nor prod his oil.
He's reffered to it, and probably mentioned it less than I have! So, it's in
his sig. Big deal. That's part of his description of him and most of us
probably don't read the sigs regularly. roger touts his site regularly, he
sells products there, and I think we all appreciate it. :)

Hmmm, I signed up for one type of their dealership/distributorship/user
and there's no fine print, no minimums, no maximums no strings. I just
get a good price when I need it, either from the local dealer or drop
shipped.
I don't even get updates on products nearly as often as I thought and would
like.
