Is 30W diesel oil OK to use in lawnmowers and other 4 stroke small engines that call for 30W oil?
...Auto engines are water cooled and run at a lower temperature than air cooled or diesel engines. They took most of the zinc out of auto oil years ago due to the fact catalytic converters don't like it and it stops them up. Zinc is a lubricant especially for the valve trane....
What kind of shop and equipment is that?...In our shop our bulk oil is diesel and unless requested that’s what we use when setting up all equipment or when charging oil.
NoInteresting. Could it be diesel oil is actually superior to auto oil for small air cooled engines?
