Not much difference between diesel and oil.


Perhaps, but there is a world of difference between the tolerances of a

fuel
injector pump and an oil pump.


True. But that's a red herring since it's not usually the oil pump that
wears out due to dirty lubricating oil.


Not quite. A 350 Chevy engine will run for a long time, years maybe, with dirty
oil.
A diesel injection pump and/or injectors with dirty fuel will not.
