Re: No Diesel oil
I too use diesel oil. Chevron Delo, Shell Rotella or Napa house brand. Seems one of those is on sale at our Napa store here on any given week. I don't think a connecting rod knows if it's in a gas or diesel engine and at 21:1 CR and corresponding torque after firing, the film of oil on the rod bearing and wrist pin has to hold up to the task. I'm sure that diesel oil is more than capable of lubricating our V8s.
