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.
