This issue is dear to me -----because I have been there.

An engine with broken top ring may be good for many more good miles.

A VOW diesel does not really care how the fuel gets to the combustion chamber.
So it makes sense to use a lube that has good combustion qualities.

Synthetic oils are the worst in that department  and Aviation lube (Piston)  is the best.

As long as it does not drip ---the lube is not wasted.   But economics ?   go the Val Christian
route ----  most Automotive lubes are good fuel . So the difference in cost Diesel fuel to
Lube oil is all that you loose.  It is not like a gasser  where the lube is not a good fuel.

The "ART"  is it again-----   a broken ring is ok in California --- but may give troubles in
getting to the outdoor hockey game in saskebush.

Enter "YOU"  --- that's who is going to make the decision. ( a matter of choice ).

I read every word by everybody --- and the useful " FREE" (not worth anything ?) information
here is impressive to say the least.

For the newbies ----  sort it out and double check  ---- the "Nugget's" are here.

Hagar.
