I have some 15W/40 engine oil, for diesel engines. Can I use it in a 4 stroke petrol engined generator?

Yep cant see a problem its what I put in my generators, pressure washer and mower.

Nicked from another forum


Diesel engine oils, as compared to petrol oils, do not have very good low temperature sludge formation resistance.

Diesel oils are useable in petrol engines, but if signs of low temperature sludge formation are seen, then switch back.

Thanks all, I can use it as it will be changed before the winter anyway.
