[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 4844840, member: 718"] Its not a problem in a well used engine. The detergents and dispersants are just what's needed to keep the engines [not the oil] clean. Problems can arise if the old engines hasn't previously had good oil or its servicing has been neglected so that it has a lot of internal deposits in the sump and around the head which shouldn't be there. A high performance oil will possibly loosen those semi-solid deposits which may do more harm than good. Super Universal oils are high detergent anyway, so its only engines that have well exceeded their service hours and time interval for services that should pose a problem, but they would probably be a problem with being refilled with super universal or standard Diesel engine oil anyway.
