[Vwdiesel] Dumb Question re Diesel Rated Oil

[William J Toensing]

Look on the oil can or bottle. Many oils including most Amsoil synthetic engine oils are rated for both gas & diesel. If there is a "C" rating such as "CF" it is rated for diesels. If it has an "S" rating such as "SF" it is rated for gas engines. I have been using Amsoil for years & have found the engine insides to be quite clean as David Ross described. I am sure there are other good oils as well & have heard Redline makes a good synthetic, but it usually costs more than Amsoil. Any synthetic oil is probably a better choice than non-synthetics.
