I got a question for Barrie or Chris (or any other genius)

I was returning some crap to Costco yesterday and there was a guy in front of me, who was returning a case of oil. He said he looked at the fine print and this oil was for diesel engines. He has a gas engine, but said it was way cheaper than car oil. He asked if I know if he could run that oil. It seemed to be the same viscosity, but what is the difference? I had no idea if he could run that oil, so he exchanged it. Anyone know the difference in this motor oil?

My youngest son is autistic. The school had him listed as 79 IQ. His senior year he had trouble handling school, so he did his classes after school, 1 1/2 hours, 3 times a week and graduated. His psychiatrist had him tested, his IQ was north of 150. She guessed at least 160. Over the last couple years he taught himself to read and write Japanese and to do computer coding. He wrote a graphic novel and coded, music, artwork and dialogue.
 
Herein one the major difference between the engine oils. Diesel engine oils have a higher anti-wear level, where the catalytic converters in diesel systems are designed to cope with it, while the gasoline systems are not. And therefore, it is not recommended to use the diesel engine oil in your gas engine.
 
I think we already knew who was!

Oh... wait...'we' don't live in Kommiefornia, so who would it be !?!
