You must use the manufacturer's recommended weight. Diesels run hotter than automobile engines so you may need a heavier oil. Read your owner's manual. Also at the oil intake, it should list the type of oil needed. It is the weight of the oil that is important. If it requires 20W-40, do not put in 5W-20.

Will diesel oil damage oil rings and seals on a petrol motor?
You mean "motor oil for diesel engines," rather than "diesel oil the fuel." And the answer is simple: No. It will not. All the popular and not-so-popular brands of diesel engine oil sold in the US carry two ratings: a "diesel engine rating" and a "gasoline engine rating." They do this because most trucking companies also own some gasoline engine vehicles, like pickup trucks for driving to the truck dealership on parts runs, and an oil rated for both gas and diesel engines allows them to put the same oil in all their vehicles.

Can you use gasoline engine oil in a diesel engine?
No, absolutely not. Diesel engines run at a much higher compression than gasoline engines. A typical gasoline engine has a compression ration of 10:1 while the typical diesel compression ratio is 20:1 or higher. The diesel burns fuel through compression and the gasoline burns by ignition. You must use an oil with an API rating of C (Compression) in a diesel. Gasoline engines use API rating S (Spark). Use exactly the proper weight and API rating as listed in your owner's manual. Use a gasoline motor oil and you will destroy that diesel engine. -IMPROVED - I totally agree with Almostevil. I own a diesel and this is what I use.

There is not a whole lot of difference if you are using the oil in an older diesel engine. The diesel oil of today has special additives to combat the soot buildup in the oil from the EGR. The diesel oil will get dirty a lot sooner on the late model engines. A 15w40 for a gas engine can be used in a diesel.
What do you think may happen to my diesel engine after i accidentally changed its oil with a gasoline engine oil?
