[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 9591, member: 456"] You could also consider using any modern synthetic or semi synthetic oil intended for modern high speed diesel engines. It will be available as a viscostatic so that you will not get the problems with starting when it is cold (if ever it gets cold where you are) which you might get with a straight 40 grade. It is highly detergent so the engine needs to be very clean inside with all new filters etc. Also, if the engine is to be run in, then stick with the traditional oil for the running in period before changing over to the new product. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
