No worries, and no need for expensive 'boutique' motor oil.
Diesel-spec has all th ZDDP you need.
Can you give me a specific brand/label? I walk in there and get dazed and confused with a wall of oil to choose from.

Does the diesel oil gum up oil filters? I try to run a quality filter, and just wonder if a regular type filter can handle that type oil?

Why is diesel oil different than regular oil?
