Just to make it simple:

You can use diesel oil in petrol engine most of the time. If you want to use petrol oil in diesel there mo more research to be done.

In the old days the difference was that diesel oils had more sulphur neutralising additives, later they had more high pressure additives for PD and less ash to preserve DPF's
