up till recently, diesel oils were the best oil money could by. they had the best additives and largest amount of additives. these include anti wear, anti coking, additives to fight acids, additives to suspend dirt, and about everything you could put in oil.. So...buying a diesel rated oil would give you the best oil that money could buy..
gas rated oils had little to small amounts of additives as they usually were change sooner, work less and and didnt have to fight the extra soot.
however... when the diesel started to get converters in them,, the diesel oil is now cut back a bit so its not quite as good as it use to be. thats because the additives that fight heat and wear can and will actually coat the catylitic converters and reduce the heat and render them usless... so...
use to be.. a diesel rated oil would be the best you could buy anywhere and ironically at even half the price of over rated gasolene oils..
Now the oils are still very good but not quite as good as they used to be.
not to say you cant buy good gas rated oils, but they by nature dont have to have all the hd additives that a diesel rated oil had to have.
