Default No Diesel oil

I read a couple of posts about using diesel oil because it has more anti-wear additives. I changed oil and used diesel and 50 miles later it had a knock which turned out to be a rod bearing.

Yes, diesel oil has more wear additives, but it also has more detergent for the soot byproducts. Subsequently I saw a couple of articles about this since my mistake.
