I agree; I think the oil would be fine.

Can use any brand of oil 15w40 for engine diesel? I'm using the yama lube 20w50.

Yes, you can use any quality brand of 15W/40 motor oil, as long as it has the CJ-4 certification.

I found the Akron ultra clear CJ-4/SM. I will do the oil change this weekend.
