   Our resident engineer ran down the newest release of engine oil for tier 4 diesels- it is designed for low emissions, not engine reliability it seems. It is the same compounds as Delo  / Rotella but with less additives that , if burned are measured as pollutants.  Zinc, Selenium and copper were added in the past to fill in the imperfections of worn parts and coating them for smooth operation.  Small engines mfgs ran into this a few years back. It came out in bulletin form to authorized service dealers. Roller tappet motors don't have to have this for acceptable wear -  flat tappet cams do.  The results were push rods fell off and compression releases didn't as the cam and lifter wear was excessive - they put the additives or subs back in as in Briggs Kohler Kawasaki  oil .  Thus a warning - don't use the oil you put in your car in your lawn mower - unless it is diesel oil..
