Just looking for your thoughts. I had an injector go bad, filled crankcase with diesel. Diesel and oil mixture came out the overflow tube and coated the underside of the truck. I had only driven about 10 miles before I found the problem, so how much damage could I have done to the engine? bearings? gears? About to get out of the shop today with a new injector.

 

Probably none,theirs enough lube in diesel to keep the injectors and pump lubed, so I'm sure an oily mixture of fuel and oil would be OK for quite a few miles.I've seen cars run without oil for 5 miles without any noticeable damage.

 

thank you, I have had several people tell me I should sell the truck and avoid future trouble but I don't want to do that. I am betting on a couple of quick oil changes and forget about it.
