Thanks for the info. Forgive my ignorance, but what is FSS? Also, what color is a diesel rated oil when it is clean? Any diesel I've ever popped the oil cap on was pitch black. Does petrol diesel soil the color of the engine oil almost instantly? What properties does a diesel rated oil have over a standard bulk petrol based oil used mostly for gas cars? If the cost is much cheaper, would it be best to just change my oil more often with standard oil? A friend of mine has a Jeep Liberty CRD with the VM Motori engine and all the Jeep dealers here in Atlanta charge $100 due to the higher cost of the oil (I guess because it is synthetic diesel oil?).
