The manufacturers make oil for diesel engines way better because diesel engines run hotter and produce way more carbon. Diesel oil is a completely different and way better product. You will see huge difference in acceleration and reduction in repair cost. It will keep your engine clean
Thanks

diesel oil when the car needs 5w40 or 0w40 full synthetic? not sure if that would be suggested to use diesel oil...

Re: 04 A6 2.7T Slow at times
I have used diesel oil as a cleaning agent for my motors. I usually add about 1/4 of total volume as diesel synthetic, the rest is my usual oil. Diesel has far more detergents, thus it is great for cleaning, I just don't know about long term use with the seals in a gas engine. I have heard that some use it as an everyday motor oil, I have not gone to that extreme yet.
