Default Re: Silly question.... F250 Powerstroke oil & VC cleaner
It should comply with the recommended viscosity for your climate/motor. If it has an "S" rating like SN as well has the diesel rating of "C" or CJ-4, it is definitely OK. Without going into the sulfur (in diesel fuel of the past), soot control, etc.
There are "mixed fleet" oils for both D and Gas. Most of the non-wiki internet says OK. Bottom line is: I would feel better using regular oil even though I know it will be OK. It's just not worth the $35 to wonder. D oil is not to be used on most emission equipped motors, mixed fleet oil excepted.
