Low sulfur fuels produce less carbon soot build up in engines, causing less need for engine maintenance. Certain 2000 - 2006 Ford diesel engines such as the 6.0 will cake up on the exhaust side of the turbo on the vgt (variable geometry turbos) causing it to stick or sieze into position. Egr systems with valves causing drivability problems. (sticking components) If at all possible find the best possible fuel to avoid costly repairs.

On the other hand low sulphur fuel or the methods used to remove sulphur from diesel fuel are reducing lubricity and causing early fuel injection pump failures.

Can 5 weight oil be used in a 26hp Kawasaki engine without causeing any damage. The manual calls for 10 weight. My husband insist its ok to use 5 weight?

Who do you think knows more about what weight oil you should use? Your husband or the company that designed and manufactured your Kawasaki engine? It would take thousands of miles to see any damage done and by then it would be too late to do anything about it. Use only what Kawasaki recommends and nothing else.
