At one time, diesel oil was a good alternative to oil that had reduced levels of ZDDP for emissions reasons, but diesels are low RPM engines with different detergent package needs. The calcium detergents in the oil are antagonistic to the ZDDP, so the balance has to be correct. Brad Penn, and Joe Gibbs Racing make oil with all the right chemistry for older flat tappet engines. Use one of their oils.
