Why DIESEL Oil is Actually WORSE for Gas Engines!

Video Description

Diesel oils contain more Zinc DialkylDithioPhosphate (AKA Zinc or ZDDP) than Gasoline engine oils, but does that mean Diesel oils provide better anti-wear protection than Gasoline engine oils? Diesel oils also contain higher levels of detergent and dispersant additives than Gasoline oils. Some people think that these higher levels of additives make Diesel oils BETTER than Gasoline engine oils, even for Gasoline engines. Let's see what the science says!

I'm a Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers Certified Lubrication Specialist and Oil Monitoring Analyst (I've maintained both of those for over a decade). I also worked for Joe Gibbs Racing for 12 years as their lubricant specialist. During that time, we worked with Wix Filters (one of our sponsors) to test and develop filters for our race engines. We also worked with Lubrizol and Chevron-Phillips Chemical to test and develop oils for our race cars. Following that, I was the head of R&D for Driven Racing Oil. During that time, I formulated and tested over 50 products. We also worked with Cummins, Comp Cams, Oak Ridge National Labs and General Motors on various R&D products. Those efforts are recorded in peer reviewed white papers published by SAE International and ACS Sustainable Chemistry journals. Today, I am the Tribologist for ‪@TotalSeal‬ , and I provide used oil analysis via SPEEDiagnostix. #oilchange #motoroil #camshaft #engine #ZDDP
