Can petrol engine oil be used for a diesel engine?
No it cannot. Petrol and Diesel are different.
What is thicker fuel oil or petrol?
Fuel oil is thicker than petrol because it has a higher viscosity and density. Fuel oil is used in heating systems and diesel engines, while petrol is used as a fuel for gasoline engines in cars.
What is diesel oil?
"Diesel oil" or "Heavy oil" is another term for diesel fuel. Not to be confused with "engine oil for a diesel engine" which means lubricating oil specially formulated for use in diesel rather than petrol engines.
Which engine oil for 2006 Ford Fiesta?

Can an oil 15 W 40 be used in petrol engines or diesel engines?
Yes, a 15W-40 oil can be used in both petrol and diesel engines, as it is a multi-grade oil that meets the viscosity requirements for various engine types. However, it's important to check the manufacturer's specifications to ensure compatibility, as some petrol engines may require specific oil formulations. Additionally, diesel engine oils often contain additives that may not be necessary or suitable for petrol engines, so using a product specifically designed for the engine type is generally recommended for optimal performance.

Diesel fuel is often referred to as "diesel oil" or "heavy oil". Do not confuse this with "engine oil for a diesel engine" which means "lubricating oil specially formulated for use in diesel engines". My first Ford Fiesta diesel's tax disc said - "Fuel - Heavy Oil". They've now realised that this term is anachronistic, and my latest tax disc reads "Fuel - Diesel". To be pedantic - Diesel fuel is an oil - Petrol is a spirit.
Why lubricating oil quantity differs in petrol and diesel engines?
Diesel engines have closer/smaller tolerances between their parts and the forces & pressures within a diesel engine are much greater than a conventional petrol internal combustion engine. This requires a better quality oil to provide better lubrication under higher pressures & greater friction conditions in the diesel engine.

Read the label on the oil. The API and SAE marking are: 'S' is for spark ignited and 'C' is for combustion ignition. Example: Shell Rotella T and Chevron Delo 400 are rated for both petrol and diesel engines. Many oils are only rated for one or the other.
