Hi Paul in ON
I'm Frankiee in ON
Diesel has a lot of sulphur. And we all heard of sulphuric acid. Sulphuric acid likes having bearings for breakfast with a bit of toast.

The opposite of acid is base. The base will neutralize the acid that develops. Gas engines have oils with about 1 to 6 for a Total Base Number (TBN) and Diesels have about 6 to 50 for a TBN.(Or higher for heavy fuels)

Ask your engine manufacturer as to the recommended TBN should be if the value is not in your literature.
