OK;
anyone know if there is a difference between the following two oils ?

Mobil1
0W-40 SuperSyn Turbo Diesel

Mobil1
0W-40 SuperSyn

(except for the obvious...!)

any difference in the actual spec of the oil ?

You need to read the specs but I'd guess that the diesel one will be higher detergent than the petrol one.

Jim is right, one of the few things I do know about. Don't put diesel oil in a petrol because of the chemicals added.

Won't do it any harm, in the old days when my father was a garage manager running a fleet of diesel vans. When I got a new (to me) car it got a sump full of Shell Rotella which was a particularly detergented oil. It would then get run for 500 or so miles then drained with all the junk & muck it had picked up & a sump full of a decent 20/50 & a new filter.
