oil type and oil pump
#28
i thought so.
i'd never put in additives or (pre cleaners ,etc, what ever they are called.) in to any oil , running in any engine,
why risk engine?> or its bearings.
when it's already clean.
the 1;20 ratio is probably safe, but why risk it.? for curing a non issue.
nobody can answer this,
diluting the engine oil has many risks,
first off , you don't know whats in the can. (if not diesel)
you don't know if oil is already too thin. (or thinned with gasoline already, oops)
you don't know if the can of magic will not react badly with this brand engine oil , its huge additive package. (due to some bad chemistry? reaction)
why not just put in fresh oil. (best is to stick with one brand )
Drive for 1000s miles look at dip stick, does it look ok ,? or does it seem to get too dirty to fast?
if yes, change it again, sooner, and see if it stabilizes.. ? (learn what you engine needs, keep in mind the dark color is the oil cleaning the engine, and hold it in suspenision) learn your engines oil consumption...
my bet is it's all ok, no need to do chem , experiments....
this is why all manufacturers void the warranty with customer added, additives.
the reason is , IT'S unpredictable the results. totally. (as are the endless snake oil cans on selves or concocted in garage)
They dont want to buy you a free engine,, on their nickle..... cant blame em....

it's clean, why mess with clean.?
it not like cleaning the bath tub twice, no harm. it's a $3000 engine.

that varnish is no harm at all, all engines, seen on all engines.
just change the oil, like all shops do, no missing about, with TV hawked ads , cans-o-magic or net rumors on diesel magic, (IMO ) this is only my opinion.
in truth and if lucky the diesel is harmless. (just thin oil , and some have additives (some have none in summer). )
but id not want to risk anyone's engine with any form of snake oil.
Diesel can have additives added, at any point in the distribution chain. including 50% Kerosene. added in the winter.
for
"Detergents, Stabilizers, Corrosion Inhibitors, Deposit Modifiers and Lubricity Agents" and more... and by law.

how that unknown list of chem's reacts with your oil is anyone's guess.

so toss a coin, as it's smarter than me.
