If there no oil cooler on your car it should all drain out the sump plug. So new oil and oil filter should be fine. If you want you can chuck some diesel down the oil filler but be sure to drain it, im not suggesting that you start the engine with the diesel in it.

Safest way me and my budy did it is to buy the shell helix 10w40 and a new oil filter, put the new oil filter on and pour in the new oil,start the car up and let it ideal for 15mins and take a slow drive down the road and when you come back drain the oil wile its still hot, after that get new oil filter and new oil and that should clean it out good,happend to my budy and this method cleaned it out good hope this helps.

Diesel works like a bomb :!: - leave old filter in, drain oil, plug sump, poor diesel (2 Liters should do), unplug sump, drain diesel, service that bitch [smilie=200sx_2guns.gif]
