Diesel Oil Lab tests

Best results are always to have oil in the engine, and clean oil on occassion probably helps longevity (shh, don't tell the secret )
You didn't have to read the whole thing if it bored you

Skirts always know best

For a test of oil quality I'd rather see information NOT biased to one engine and just the properties and qualities of the lubricants in question.

wear rates after the lubricant is being used is the only results I value, not this pie in the sky debate

This is exactly why I no longer care about oil......It is almost IMPOSSIBLE to prove that poor oil was the cause of engine failure, your bearings crap out it's possible you had a bad batch, you got the engine hot, you got a bad filter, you never changed the filter...... everyone worries so much about their oil yet engine failures due to the "wrong" oil is rarely ever heard of, and almost never proved.
Best advice for a diesel owner............ put oil in it and run it HARD.....babying a diesel is just asking for problems.

I always let mine get the oil pumping for a couple minutes before ever moving, specifically in the winter.
I don't hard load them till theres a little heat in the engine, I've always been more concerned about having oil in the bearings more so than wet stacking. I always make sure to "blow em out" good though once things get moving

IDK if it's overkill or not (probably) but I'm usually not in a hurry when I'm driving one of the two, guess thats why my IDI's are a good fit
