[Solved] Can I put diesel engine oil in a petrol engine?

Topic starter

Just curious, if I have two petrol engines that are rated for 5W-40 oil,

one is turbo-charged, one is natural-aspirated

can I put diesel engine oil into it like Shell Rimula, Mobil 1 DELVAC, or something like that

the viscosity of the oil doesn't change, __W-40

lots of traffic jam, vehicle often lightly loaded, non-winter driving conditions

would that give better protection (maybe unnecessarily waste of money?)

or hinder the performance of the engines or even cause damage?

It isn't recommend because the oils have different properties. It is like how motorcycles require motorcycle oil because of the heat of the air cooled engines.


okay
talking about motorcycles, do you think i can use their brake fluid on my car?
i guessed the motorcycles would need brake fluids that could be more durable
my car requests DOT 4 brake fluid and i drive into lots of traffic jams


As far as I know brake fluid is brake fluid and there is no special brake fluid for motorcycles. Assuming that I am correct than as long as both the car and bike use DOT 4 you should be good.


okay thanks
and how do you think using BOSCH DOT 5.1 ENV6 brake fluid into the brake system of my car?


If it calls for DOT 4 I would stick to DOT 4.
