Agree. All oils are a blend anyway so a small amount of a different oil should not make any difference
At the end of the day, all you have is yourself and all you need is your friends (and in our case our Patrol)

I wouldn't worry too much AB ... in only 300 k's, all the oil in a 4.2D is black as black - with unburnt carbon and soot, and this shows that it will be completely mixed together.
It is supposed to be changed every 5000 K's anyway.
