Di’s don’t dirty the oil in the same way as IDI’s anyhow, so they don’t have

life expentancy is twice that of a petrol too, with maintainance of course.----- Original Message -----

reasons for them to be in passenger cars are the very good fuel economy,
and, with the proper oils, very long oil change intervals.To remove yourself from this list, go to
