In my experiences, the main difference between Diesel and Gasoline oils is detergent additives. You can use Diesel oil in a gas engine, but keep in mind that the diesel oil has detergents in it. The gas engine manufacturer may not recommend the use of detergent oil. DO NOT run gasoline engine oils in diesels for extended periods. Most gas oils are non-detergent and won't disperse soot very well. In a nutshell, use oil that is designed for the engine it's going in. The days of running 30 wieght in everything you own are long gone. Oil technology has made amazing advances, and the industry can now "tailor" their oils to meet the specific needs of every engine group, even beyond "gas & diesel". Engines are now classified according to their main function or operating requirements, such as pump stations, motorcycle, lawn care, marine, etc. There are specific oils for each of these engines that meet the specific requirements that the application demands. Sorry I got so long winded. Hope this helps, ROB
