A little oil is not going to hurt the mix. The problem with motor oils both new or used is the metals content. New motor oils contain additives and additives are made from metals. Used oils contain both additive metals and wear metals. Wear metals are the by product of engine wear. Nitrates increase the Cetane of diesel fuel and motor oil won't. Cetane is the equivalent of octane in gasoline. A little oil would increase lubricity and that can't hurt. They say we are getting the lubricity additive in Low Sulphur Diesel, but who knows for sure.
