Oil smells of veg fumes, time to change?
#14
If we're talking stock XUDs on veg, then yeah, just changing with shit oil more often is probably fine, but when we're talking big turbo XUDs making almost double their stock power with the heat and borewash that inevitably goes on, shit oil just isn't going to cut the mustard!

I wouldn't be using anything less than a good quality ester synthetic, I use Gulf Competition 10/40 usually, I'm currently on AeroShell but that's a whole other matter :p

With the heat and pressure Diesel engines are put under when making much more power than stock, you will shag bearings if you have crap oil...
