Running diesel oil

IIRC (I looked it up today at work), there's more anti-wear by about 80% (lower speeds, higher loads, so its needed more), but I don't remember the rest exactly.

Basically by running diesel oil, you're saying you know more about lubrication than the lubrication experts that set the standards, and that's just not the case. If you're worried about it, just run a good quality synthetic. Amsoil is apparently about the best you can get.
