Even checking things with a meter may not disclose this. It may require pulling the glow plugs and reaming to check for excess carbon.
Since you mentioned the Waste Motor Oil.

In more than few threads I posted where The Dole Company had decided to mix there Waste Motor Oil with their Diesel Fuel.
We did work on their Diesel Generators that powered the Refer Units on their Refrigerated Trailers.
What happend is that mix of WMO and Fuel started to plug up their Injectors.
The Injectors in this case had 3 Holes in them and were Similar to the Stanedyne/Roosamaster Pencil type Injectors.
The holes were getting pluged by a white hard crusty material.

I don't know why they decided to mix the WMO with the Diesel Fuel but it sure did not save them Money.

The stock Mercedes Injector Nozzle has a small hole drilled down the center of the Nozzles Pintel.
