Realistically .. you cannot use it because it is broken down very quickly in a diesle engine. You would need to replace oil and filter VERY regularly. That is why there are oils with specific qualities and specifications that are designed for modern diesel and turbo-charged (or both) engines.
You should try and use a good quality oil of the correct spec. suitable for your type of engine.
