ds caught on fire

I don't think you'd have screwed anything up at this point. I hydra-locked a CAT 3208 with coolant, the head gasket blew, and ended up "hop-starting" the truck. Since the cylinder was completely full of coolant, and it was a diesel (really high compression), when I forced it to start it bent a connecting rod.

The oil rings won't hold the gas in the cylinder. It will go right past them and dilute your oil. You need to either change it a couple times or do an unbelievable job of purging your motor of the contaminated oil or you could have premature engine/tranny failure.
I have spent hundreds of dollars on screwups. Education costs money no matter where you get it, just make sure you get something for your investment.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Since you are purging your oil system of gasoline, why not use a cheaper oil during the purging process? You wont be running the engine much on each change of oil. Either way, even if you spent $90 on oil changes - it is still a hell of a lot cheaper than a rebuild any day of the week, right?
What kinda oil are you using that costs you $45 per change? I use some semi-synthetic from Bel Rey & I think ti was $45 or so shipped to my door for a case of it.

About $80 but you'll never have to buy another one.
There are alot of good oils out there that don't cost that much either.
do a search and you will find out what most everyone is running.
I was using Amsoil 0-40 at about $5.50/ qt.
