    I wouldn't be too hasty changing to a diesel oil in an older engine. The high detergent content is going to free up all the crud that's built up over the years, that just ain't going to be good for the old bearings when it washes through the system.
    Think I'm gonna agree on that. If the oil you have been using has carried you to 200,000 with no problems, why mess with what is working ?
