Just looked at the MSDS for it and it's 90% kerosene.. so you just basically dumped diesel fuel into the oil pan. I would change your oil ASAP.

yes it wasnt there prior to tuneup/oil change..but when i checked the oil..it was missing some..so thats when I got some Castrol GTX and then it happened. I put the oil additive in and it cleared it out good...I have NO rattles, taps or squeaks and it seems like the turbo spools up more freely now...I drove about 50 miles with the stuff and changed out the oil and it was pitch black!!!...all the crap that was in there broke free and came out...I do recommend this to all but DO NOT drive more than 50miles..I took this caution because the car is old.
