Oil in diesel engines is more prone to fuel contamination than gas engines are. An oil designated diesel will work fine in a gas engine. As to the sae rating, I tend to prefer a 20W 50 in nearly all engines, or a good synthetic. But if following their recommendations keeps your warranty in effect do as they tell you.
