I have an 84 ford 6.9 diesel with turbo and have run hydraulic oil/auto trans fluid/ used motor oil in concentrations of up to 90% after filtering it and seperating any water, the power has gone up while the engine has gotten quieter! also the exhaust is smoke free. I was told by ney sayers that grit would kill my pump, but so far I have driven it over 20k with no problems, and previosly drove my 6.5 GM with heavy loads for 45k with no ill effects, its really important that it be cleaned, more than once if necesary.Also I have not had to start in temps lower than 38 degrees due to where I live in northern california.
