Um, no, right answer. I side with WHunter on OM. Please check following link.

Diesel engine: Termed a compression-ignition engine, it depends upon the heat generated by compression to fire the fuel, which in this case is diesel oil. Also known as an oel motor (oil motor). DBAG abbreviates this as OM.

Yes checked the link and the critical part is that "DBAG abbreviates this as OM.".... and what is DBAG? a German club? so yes OM is diesel
in German. OM
in English means what I said it means, and this is widely known. Have not seen any 300OM's lately. No 350SOML's either. Nor a 300SOM. They also abbriviate Not Applicable as N/A. This would be correct if you were dealing with office stuff mostly- but we're dealing with car and engines, so N/A means Naturally Asperated unless otherwise noted.
