For light duty 4 cylinder CRDs such as is commonly designed in Europe, is there any advantage to blending (50/50) an HDEO with a CF rated 5w-40 to get some better diesel additives to address soot (which a CF does not really do well) while the CF PCMO will keep the oil from being as heavy for cold starts and gas mileage.
I realize that either a CF PCMO or an HDEO could be used satisfactorily, but for the sake of minutae (which BITOG specializes in) could this not potentially be a good approach--pending confirmation with an UOA that the blend works well together.
Thoughts for the sake of discussion?
