Busa: Are you sure delvac has nothing extra for diesel engines than the one you're using which is for petrol?

Hey Samy your right man , the 5w50 is a petrol oil suitable for diesel but not a die hard diesel oil thats for sure.

Not sure of the difference but another member I think dragger or VIPER pointed out that the 5w50 just about manages to be a diesel oil.
Busa i would have tried out a die hard meant for diesel oil , got nothing to lose.

EDIT : sorry people it was nitrous !
