Putting Diesel Engine Oil In a Gas Truck! Can You?

[@shanerothermich5649]

I bought a truck when I was 17 and the previous owner was using 5w30 and I started getting a lifter tick around 125,000, after switching to 15w40 I never had any noises and that same engine lasted till 375,000

Same for me, Dodge 2500 with a 5.9 magnum developed the same noise on Mopar and then Pennzoil. The guy at the auto parts store suggested that I try Rotella...the noise dissapeared and never returned.

I’m friends with a guy who is a truck and light vehicle mechanic, trade qualified for 50 years.

I think people have such strong opinions on oil (and filters) because they don't know any better.

Thank you for sharing this video. I've been using T4 in my GM 305 V8 gas engine for years. I have over 140k on it with no problem. The engine runs quiet and smooth, and the zinc protects the so called soft cams. I'm sure the catalytic converter is shot, but the car is over 36 years old so who cares.

Older diesel oils had a higher zddp zinc content which would do the gas engine good but harm catalytic converters on gas engines. Todays diesels are now equipped catalytic converters so I'm sure the oil formulation has been modified to accommodate newer emission equipped diesels.

The “SN” ratings on diesel oils such as Delo, means that it has additives to handle gasoline contaminates, but it also means that the oil needs to reduce the amount on anti-wear additives (such as “Zinc”) in order to maintain the “SN” rating. So any “SN” rated diesel oil only has as much anti wear additives as gasoline oil. That is why Rottela dropped the “SN” rating on all their diesel oil and created the “Gas truck oil” separately for gasoline powered engines. In doing so, Rottela diesel oil also dropped the additives that handle gas contaminates. So a Delo with an “SN” rating is a multi engine type oil with additives to handle both diesel & gas contaminates. So when using diesel oil in a gasoline engine these days you have a choice, do I use a “SN” rated diesel oil with reduced anti wear additives/Zinc, or do I use “C” rated Rottela that only handles diesel contaminates and needs to be changed out more frequently before the gas contaminates start breaking down the oil. The link below will show you an oil analysis explaining the differences in anti wear additives between “SN” rated Delo & “C” rated Rottela. kzbin.info/www/bejne/il7cpWiXZsiKmpY

I've been using Shell Rotella T6 in my Caravan for years. Same with my 2016 Chev Silverado. And in my BMW 318i. It's not a bad idea actually. Some of the oil passages in some engines (ie Chrysler/Yamaha V6's) have pretty small oil passages and are prone to sludging up, so any oil that has extra detergents to keep particulates down is a good idea.

It’s the boat hauler, stump grinder hauler & I have tugged a 40 foot trash container around job sites several times. I had to replace the FSS sensor in it @ 275k due to leaks which required removing the inspections pan and the bottom end looked like a well maintained 50-75 thousand mile engine.

Just for the sake of science, might as well state the facts from a lubrication engineering standpoint. Long term should negatively impact ring life due to the extra overbase additives. Also the ZDDP additive could affect your catalytic converter over time due to the sulfur content of gasoline fuel. However a one oil change interval or short term use should be okay and actually could help clean soot from the engine, but long term is a bad idea.

[@ViVA-MEXICO-AMLO]

There’s a new T6 Rotella 15w40 15yrs or 500k guaranteed for $26 USD. and it has a rig, truck n bike on logo.

[@felipetejeda7545]

@@ViVA-MEXICO-AMLO Thanks bro, I just went down to Walmart and bought that version. It is API SN certified so its good for gas engines and its JASO MA/MA2 certified. Going to run T6 from now on in my 2023 DR650 and potentially my old '86 toyota pickup. I am considering running T4 conventional as well but it no longer has the API SN or SM certification, not sure if they actually changed the formula or not so I may just stick to T6 to be safe.

I run rotella in my gsxr, yfz 450, lawn mower, and honda foreman 450

[@vincentrolfe1384]

I use the T6 0W40 for Chicago winters in my 5 cylinder Sprinter and it is like having the motor half warmed up upon cold winter starts. Your motor sounds like serp belt idler pulley and or water pump bearing wear. Could not really hear the motor beyond the belt pulley noise. You are lucky she didn't sick that dog on you??!! The T6 is high detergent oil but will do a nice job in a gas motor.

[@rygrego8687]

You are absolutely correct. Ignorance stops people from using the better oil, especially for older flat tappet engines. The only time there could be an issue is if the vehicle burns a lot of oil then the catalyst might possibly be affected.

[@jimgee2676]

did you ever analyze the oil ....did the truck run good on the rotella ...are you still using it

[@EndlessWishlist]

Still using it.

I looked for video but never found it

[@lorenray9479]

Hot oil is thin. Lol green mandates are killing engines.0w20,0w16 sucks in hot weather. I used thicker oil and it wore out the running geer at over 350000 on my off road farmy rigs! Lol my 2018 just got its first 5w30 syn with soot in muffler! Lucas in gas will cure it soon! in gas

[@mksfank]

Disel engine oil and gas engine oil is exactly the same thing except for one part disel engines produce soot which the oil traps gas engines turn oil into acid over time that's why breakdown happens if maintenance is not done when needed no problem using disel oil on a gas engines just have to replace the oil a bit more sooner than intended

[@ernestanonde3218]

Can I use diesel oil on my Petrol engine????

[@curtissheppard1996]

I'm right there with you man. After watching this video,,,i put 1qt of 15w-40 in my 05 Ram,5.7 Hemi. 190,000 miles on it. Just one qt,,man than thing quieted down,ran so good. This oil change my definitely going to that T6 oil. Thanks for the info!!!!!

[@hilljackzack7284]

Heavy duty diesel oil is just really thick oil, works damn good in the summer time. In the winter I like to run 10w-30. The heavy duty diesel oil may actually be better for your gasoline engine than the suggested oil depending on how you use the truck.

[@therealRustyShackleford]

Running 5w-40 would be better for cold starts than 10w-30 and the oil should get up to normal operating temperatures as long as the cooling system is working correctly so you wouldn't actually need the 30 weight in the winter.

[@hilljackzack7284]

@@therealRustyShackleford that’s a good thought, I’m about to change my oil at my work and I’m thinking about using either 5w30 or 5w40. I have a 10 year old pickup truck and it seems to like the 5w30 I’ve got in it now.

[@larryburns4605]

Use t5 10/30 Rotella great oil

[@playstation8779]

So deisel oil with a high flow k&N filter would be a good combo. Just a guess. I wouldnt know for sure.

[@johnabuick]

Modern Cummins heavy duty truck engines like the X-15 use 10-30 diesel engine oil these days plus diesel fuel contains way less sulphur than it used to back in the day so diesel engines run cleaner and don't need as many additives anymore. Gas and Diesel oils are much closer in specs now.

[@danielraymadden]

Use the recommended viscosity...Do not use a heavier viscosity than manufacturers call for...it will reduce oil flow and wear down oil pump engine will overheat with poor circulation...I read Dexos 1 is for gasoline Dexos 2 is for diesel...I understand Dexos 2 has higher additives for cleaner and lubricant performance...Most important is change oil filter every 2 to 3 thousand miles...oil filters easily clog restricting oil flow causing heavy wear and overheating...autos over 75,000 miles burn dirty clogging oil filter...keep oil flowing keep oil filter clean...dirty oil filters reduce gas mileage...don't waste gas on dirty oil filter...oils rated 10 to 20,000 are deceptive...the oil filter still must be changed after 2 to 3000 miles for good oil flow through engine...dirty oil filters will overheat and destroy engines...

[@lexusguy9127]

So you're saying the 5w-40 won't operate in the 10w-30 range?🤣

[@danielraymadden]

@@lexusguy9127 Use the viscosity designed for your engine...do not use a lighter viscosity....engines have tolerances a heavier oil will not flow freely in tighter tolerance engines...do not use 5 - 30w in a 5 - 20w or 0 - 20w weight engine...the channels are too small the oil will clog and reduce lubrication...use a high quality lubricant of the weight DESIGNED for your engine...I tried 10 - 40w in a 5 - 30w weight engine and it overheated in hot weather long drives...the oil does not flow through the small channels...You seem to not understand the purpose of motor oil...

I run Rotella T6 5w-40 in everything I own 2007 toyota tacoma, 2008 Kawasaki KFX 450r, 2015 Yamaha R3, 2017 Yamaha Raptor 90, and my riding lawn mowers. There is the one oil for everything and this is it. Oh I forgot to say I threw out the gun oil I was using and use Rotella T6 in a small needle bottle now for all my guns as well. The slides and bolts have never run smoother try it! Been using it since 2009 strictly only this oil

[@tarunmasimukku6784]

I can understand that it may work better for people and reduces lifter tick and stuff, but I would still alternate between this and a regular gasoline motor oil. Diesel motor oil isn't held to the same cleanliness standard as gasoline engine oil so it can often cause gunk build up in the engine--esp over a long period of time. So use a regular oil to clean it out if you are really intent on using the diesel oil. Or maybe switch to a heavier weight or a higher additive package oil like using Pennzoil Ultra plat synth instead of just plat synth.

[@jasonconklin8172]

She'll now makes rotella for gas engine s 2 I'd p in my rigs crankcase b4 using penzz oil
