    Agree. All oils are a blend anyway so a small amount of a different oil should not make any difference

    I wouldn't worry too much AB ... in only 300 k's, all the oil in a 4.2D is black as black - with unburnt carbon and soot, and this shows that it will be completely mixed together.

    It is supposed to be changed every 5000 K's anyway.

    Know stuff all about oil but my motto has always been "if in doubt, throw it out"
    If any members require assistance in anything regarding this forum, just let me know via a PM and I will help you in any way that I can.
