Will lack of oil changes affect performance on escort 1.8 diesel?

I believe the lack of oil changes would have a detrimental effect on the performance and efficiency of any engine not just a 1.8 ltr Diesel engine.
The reason for this is because the engine requires a good consistency of lubricant ( oil ) and to do this effectively, the correct consistency of oil is used ie 20 / 40. The oil used gets thinner over mileage and thus loses its lubricating effect, this results in the engine becoming "stiffer" to move and requires more effort to move the engine. This results in more fuel required to move the engine and the engine not being as "free" to move if it had a good consistency of oil in it.
