Sourcing WMO-from diesel vehicles only?

I've been following a few "black diesel" threads and I'm thinking of filtering some WMO and adding it to my WVO/diesel mix. As far as where you get your oil from, do you only use oil from diesel vehicles or gassers as well? I was wondering if the blowby gases and small amounts of gasoline dissolved in WMO from gasoline vehicles would be detrimental when used as fuel in a diesel vehicle. If its not a problem that would work out great because I could just start changing oil for my Mom, Dad, and brother, and filter the stuff for fuel. Of course I'd make sure they were using a suitable oil in the first place as well. Between the oil I'd be consuming my self, plus theirs I'd have at least 5 gallons coming to me at every change-every little bit helps these days...

The thinner the oil the higher the ratio... On my ford I was at 45% without smoke at idle. That was 10w30 and thinner.

I don't think you'll have a problem with the oil but you sure work cheap especially considering most gassers only hold 4-6 quarts.

I'll let you change the oil on all my rigs in exchange for the waste oil
