My brother owns a Smart car and a 3/4 ton dodge pickup, both diesel have 
engines (that's about all they have in common).
 The Smart car takes synthetic or semi-synthetic oil so he was wondering if the 
same oil would be beneficial in his
truck.

Hes had a couple of conflicting expert opinions from diesel mechanics, 
Cummins says not to use synthetic oil on
any engine with solid lifters.  Neither one of us can figure out why that would 
matter.

Any ideas?
