Most OM606 engines are in W210 cars, which do not have oil pressure gauges, thus data is limited to the 1995 E300D (W124/OM606). As long as the pressure gauge always pins high above about 1300 RPM (I forget the factory number) you are OK. Gasser oil's big disadvantage in a diesel is its limited ability to absorb soot. Depending on how often the PO changed the oil no harm may have been done.
