[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 161136, member: 118"] There is no ash in diesel motor oils. They just have additional additives to handle the large amounts of ash that a diesel engine produces. The oil in my VW diesel will be black in just a few miles. That is the oil holding the ash in suspension, as it is supposed to do. As for the API service code - in the links I posted above Jestal points out that the diesel oils that are mentioned are all now currently API service SM, IIRC. In other words, API as has rated them perfectfully acceptable in gasoline engines. Read some of those links completely. There is much to learn there. And the fact remains, Yamaha can't deny warranty claims for not using their specific brand and weight of oil. [/QUOTE]
