Compared with gasoline, how much oil is used in engine lubrication? My Diesel engine uses about 50 gallons per month of diesel fuel. I change oil about every 5000 miles or 5 months. 8 qts = 2 gallons vs. 250 gallons of diesel fuel. So the ratio is about 100 to 1. It doesn't look like a big oil source.
