I'd try it. I run diesel oil in everything I own, but that's just what I believe in running.

Indifferent.
Sooner or later someone wil inevitably say you should use synthetic oil.
But you don't need to do that.

Now I'm wondering, whats the differance between diesel oil and "standard" oil? I could probably use a bit of sludge removal in my 5.9L

That's just what I say.

"Shell DMO" Shell diesel motor oil. It's great. We only have one kind of oil around the shop, and that's it. It goes in the lawnmowers, the cars, and the semis. Never any confusion.

diesel oil simply has more detergent in it than regular oil so it suspends the contaminant particles better thus cleaning better.
