The main difference between automotive oil and diesel is that the diesel 
which has a C in the type will suspend the carbon from the diesel oil better than 
the regular oil. Other than that they are pretty much the same. I see no 
reason why one can't use it for both applications.  One thing to always remember is 
to use the latest updated oil it cost more but it will protect your engine 
better. Never use an oil with a lower spec as you are just moving back in time 
and for gods sake never ever use non-detergent oil YUK I still get nightmares 
from seeing all that sludge in those old engines.
I think that one should run the brake in oil for a few miles on autos that 
500 you can figure out how long it should be on your tractor by hours or times 
around the field.  It takes a while for it to collect all those little pieces 
of metal and other things that might have escaped your meticulous cleaning. If 
one changes it to soon and then leaves the next oil in for too long you may be 
defeating the purpose.
