Here's an interesting video. I have been watching this guy's teardown of his ISX cummins engine. Nothing to contribute here - but trying to start some discussion on it.

A lot of people have said that adding gear oil to an engine would ruin the soft metals. I always joke about it - but would never seriously suggest running gear oil.
This guy has added a gallon of gear oil to it every oil change.
Granted, in an engine that has a 14 GALLON capacity, one gallon of gear oil isn't that much ... in a car with a 5 quart oil capacity, that's a bit more than 1/2 pint. Probably better than adding Lucas.
Watching his engine disassembly, it is quite clean for a diesel. Not too much wear in the other videos.
What do you people think?
