I am a big believer in "if it aint broke, dont fix it" so I have never pulled the injectors or done any of the other tests.

Oil get changed every 10,000 kilometres. (6,000 miles) and it is normal oil. Looks the same as my dads when he was never using WMO.

Does not seem to burn any oil. But who would know, it might be laking past the rings and staying in the sump. But it never gets any fuller than that the amount that I put in there. So I guess that is a bit of an unknown. But for more than 100,000 miles with no problems... I am not complaining or asking questions..
why do you suppose idi injection systems are more tolerant to wmo, and di and common rail are not?at the eldebrock fueling station down under what would you think needs to be done to the"fuel" so that any diesel engine could swing by and filler up?just like at a diesel pump where only one version of the fuel is needed
