I have a 93 Geo Metro with a 3 cyl motor.
I work as a truckdriver.
My boss screwed me out of some pay.
Can I use truck diesel oil in a Geo?
Thanks

Good bye


If it is 10-30 go ahead, if it is 15w40 it will be too thick. I don't know if anyone recommends mixing grades though. Maybe some 0-20 with the 15-40?

I've used 15w-40 mixed with 10w-30 in my 4runner when I was in a pinch and didn't have any engine problems from mixing grades.

Why you Mutt!

As long as you purchased the oil rather than just taking it, it should work fine.

Getting screwed on your pay sucks, but make sure you are dealing with the issue properly...maybe you need a new boss.

Show him how to properly treat people...if nothing else, it'll make finding your next job a lot easier...

If he offered it in lieu of your pay, use it and be happy.

no
do not use that oil
it is garbage oil
slightly better than dogshnit oil like walmart brand x
good for lighting the barbecue , little to nothing else

minimum specification oil for your car is
dexos1 dexos 1 oils

if it is not on that list '
do not use it

UNless
you are using
ACEA A3 B3 A3 B4 synthetic oils , which are better than dexos 1 oils with regards to
deposit control
and
resistance to shear

how soon the mortals forget ...

Thanks to all. I'm going to (mostly) take the high road on this deal and just get a new boss. I don't know what I will do with a gallon of delo but it sure as hell ain't going in my metro. If my bosses oil fouled up my favorite car I'd go over the edge.
