Sarge,
Over the years, I too had used different oils. The problem with a diesel motor oil in a gas powered vehicle, is that the additives are different. Each type of engine produces different contaminates and the additives take care of it.
There are a few oil refiners out there that do make oil of different brands, however, the formula is supplied by the brand name seller.
An example would be New Holland 15-40 diesel motor oil. New Holland supplied the formula, Pennzoil mixes it up for them.
Carl

BTW, I use Castrol 10-30 in my pick-up and car.
