There's tons of info and opinions on this everywhere.  Vwvortex has some
interesting debates.  I run Shell Rotella T6 in my gas powered VW's with
what I consider success.  But really, who knows?  I would have had to buy 2
identical cars and drive them the exact same way, one with the diesel oil
and the other with gas, and drive them both to failure, which could take
over years.  I suppose oil analysis and pressure readings would tell you
something, but I think most of the opinions you will get are purely
subjective and based on not much real information.

Subject: Diesel Oil in a vanagon - is it safe?

A recent post triggered a question I have had for quite some time.  Is it
safe to use Diesel oil in a gas engine?  I have researched this online and
the general data indicated that you cannot.

Looking for everyone's input on this.  I have met folks that say it is
acceptable.  I have also met folks who stated it is absolutely not
acceptable and will damage the engine.

Please help!

Thanx!
