Just want to take a quick second to introduce myself. My name is Michael, and I am the proud and grateful owner of a 1981 diesel Doka. I will learn how to upload photos and make a proper introduction here in the next couple of days.
Now, I do have a quick question… And I am still getting used to the search function on the site, but I swear I tried everything and wasn’t able to find the information. What is a good engine oil for the diesel? I live in Southern California – so I am dealing with a very mild climate year-round. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Honored to be here!
Michael

Oh wait, you meant the new guy...
