My oil was low and accidently I inserted Helix Diesel oil. A few adys later I checked the oil level eith the dip stick and it showed the oil level just below the second dot. When I opened the cap to put in more oil I noticed the oil had hardened, which is when I relised that I did somthing wrong. Do I need to worry about this and if so what should I do? Is this urgent?
Many thanks for your help and advise.

Hi there,

You do not want to run the diesel oil in the petrol engine, I would ad a flush and drain it out, you wont do any long term harm if you get it out sooner rather than later.
